I have a new friend with benefits, which would be fine except I'm turning into such a smitten kitten way too fast. How do I step back and slow down on this?

@nicnack74: @weetziebat: That's true. I hope they discuss all religious holidays— maybe I shouldn't assume this was the only one they brought up.

Am I the only one who objects to anyone reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" in (what appears to be) a public school?

@whats_in_a_name: Aw, that's sweet. You should do it.

The guy I wanted to hang out with tonight is busy working. And will be tomorrow too. Sad face. Now I don't know what to do with myself.

@rodmanstreet: Well, it states that it's not Blake Lively with Ryan Reynolds.

@dolly.en.drag: Whoa, I was just joking! I must have subconsciously known she would eventually cave in and admit she has no acting skills.

Natalie, if you're pissed that your co-stars get more praise than you, maybe stop appearing in movies with more talented actors than you— so basically, do a rom-com with Ashton Kutcher, or just stop appearing in movies at all.

@LaNocciola: You really think so? From everything I read about the case, it seems extremely unlikely that she had anything to do with it.

For a cocktail nerd who already has old drink recipe books, there are also interesting newer books about traveling around drinking obscure liqueurs— I gave one called "Boozehound" just recently as a gift.

@Keitha11: Yeah, that sentence gave me pause too— maybe she meant, "if you fall on the 'fewer pine needles, please' end of the spectrum."

@Bad Ash: The only part of her parenting I take issue with is that she allegedly lets the kids eat tons of junk food. Otherwise, carry on; they look happy and well-adjusted.

Who cares if they consented— if you're an asylum seeker, do you really feel you have the option of refusing to participate and still have a chance for refugee status?

@Elaken: My brother is like that too. He's naturally pretty skinny, but he also is just absent-minded and forgets to eat pretty often. It's not like he's trying to lose weight or is a control freak about his diet; he's just flaky and thin.

Has anyone here had an underwire bra set off the metal detector? I always wear them and they never cause a problem.

@BrookeD: What? I don't know any grownups who are excited by Disney World.

1. She has an island in her closet?

@lawlover: I totally agree. I mean, I usually just go to a house party on NYE, but getting dressed up makes it seem much more festive.

@mox: You know, homemade pizza dough is ridiculously easy to make. It has like 4 ingredients including water.

@Wednesday's Child: Doesn't her dress look way too big for her?
