My 2 year old niece responds to every flat surface with images (ie: a book) like it was an iPad. She gets angry when she can't scroll or zoom.

I'm 25 and high schoolers confuse me.

My boyfriend is 23. I can't imagine him hanging out with, let alone wanting to date/having anything in common with, a high school aged girl.

The smell of Baby Soft would make my childhood best friend and I gag. We thought it was the most horrendous smell we'd even encountered in our (short) young lives.

My brother and his first wife divorced when my oldest niece was a baby. Both are now remarried — my brother, sadly, to the biggest megabitch in town.

Right, which is why I was only speaking to California and LA in particular. Produce affordable as heck here — which is why parents sending their kids to school with only a package of Takis and a can of Coke is so baffling. You can get bottled water and an apple with some whole wheat crackers for the same price.

I don't have a dishwasher and I haven't since I moved out of my parent's house. That doesn't keep me from cooking. Also, it takes less than 10 minutes to steam frozen veggies — which is less than the time it takes to cook a frozen pizza. People just don't bother switching up their routine.

Dude, Asian markets have the cheapest produce around. I don't know how they do it.

Personally, I find the arguments of "Well, healthy food is expensive!" to be utter and total BS. Healthy food is affordable, and almost always cheaper and processed, packaged foods. (Snack foods, pre-packaged frozen meals, etc.) What we need is a refocused effort on education — because it's been my experience that…

Sunshine Cleaning is great! I wish more people would watch it. Great vehicle by a female filmmaker as well.

I have a childhood friend with a daughter named Alyeeeah.

No more Braydens. No more Kaylee/Kayleigh. No more white people pulling names out of their asses in an attempt to create something "yukneeke." (Looking at you, friend-of-a-friend who named her kid Revol.)

I am frankly shocked it doesn't happen to me in my place of employment. I work for a major sports network, and our site features females pretty much exclusively in a T&A context. We used to have one female columnist, but she rarely contributes pieces anymore. There is no female voice or positive female presence on the…

Ugh, I am so sorry. I've been given the run around by sources too — mostly comments on my looks, which is so gross and annoying and totally throws you off track when you're trying to conduct a serious interview — and I'm sorry that people didn't believe you or hear out your side of the story.

I am a journalist working in a male-dominated subset of journalism. I am the only female in the editorial department. Surprisingly, I've never been subjected to any kind of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior from my male colleagues or anything of the sort in this particular workplace. Reading this makes me feel…

Also, I feel like people who are grossed out by this don't realize Los Angeles isn't NYC. We don't have a bed bug problem.

First, sounds like this was a kid bed. Second, bed bugs aren't an issue here in Los Angeles. I just sold my old full mattress when I moved and no one batted an eyelash.

They're not an issue in California.

That's what I thought!

I'm tasked with making the mashed potatoes for 40 family members tomorrow. To mark the whole Thanksgivingukkah thing, I thought it would be fun to make potatoes with a Jewish flair, so I'm adding horseradish and chives to some roasted garlic potatoes. When my mom and some aunts found out she flipped. Apparently that's…
