Botox for the cure

But what will they sell to raise money to cure botulism? Breasts?

What I don't get is why these bridezillas want their friends to look so good.
It seems like if you want to be a special princess and get all the attention, YOU should get the botox and bleaching and the boobs and surround yourself with your flattest, wrinkliest, ugliest, yellowteeth crone friends and just shine like a diamond in the photos compared to them.

This article made me sad. It's such a shame when someone who starts out as inspired and helpful and revolutionary as A. C. Moore can all of a sudden get stuck in a stubborn problem and end up so wrong with her reputation ruined.

I think this happens a lot in politics, too. Off the top of my head, I am thinking of Nader...

I thought this was a joke a la Tom Lehrer when I first read the article...

"He soon became a specialist, specializing in diseases of the rich. He was therefore able to retire at an early age... to the land we all dream about: sunny Mexico, of course"

But then I read it. I guess I just don't understand the point of writing this article. It seems like just "OMG Rich People Pay Lots of Money and Are Sometime Rude to People Who Work... [more]

Back before the days of security, my Dad used to take toddler-me to the airport to watch planes taking off and landing, which was better to me than any tv show.

Wow, I feel like a lot of documentaries and animations I've seen position stingrays as the "birds of the sea," gliding and whatnot. This news makes that comparison seem even more apt.

For some reason I was able to tell the Skor from the Heath Bar, never having had either outside of halloween candy miniatures when I was 10. I guess they made a strong impression.

winkingly encouraging us to get drunk and fuck each other

Yeah, I went on one of the first trips, 8 yrs ago I believe, before they split it up into choose-your-own adventure style journeys.
I liked the free trip to Israel and a lot of what we did (apart from the daily talk-about-jewish-stuff circle).
When I was there, I noticed a lot of hooking up and drinking, but it wasn't til I got home and filled out a really long survey... [more]

I didn't believe in ghosts until I watched an episode of Ghost Hunters on SciFi

I just watched Ghost Hunters for the first time last night and was not convinced. I did like the one little jumpy guy who they pay to do scary things, though. I was a very talkative watcher. "That's totally just a mouse!" "That thermal image is crap!"

Interesting article, unsavory character.
I did find the part about how he decided to name the chain "Ashley Stewart" fascinating. I wonder how many other store names are blatant rip-offs of stores they wish to evoke.

Reminds me of that new young male actor who seemingly made his name from other famous actors, crap. I don't think my brain made it back from the long weekend yet.

My alma mater celebrates by dancing around a May Hole instead of a May Pole, which apparently represents the patriarchy. The May Hole is a giant pink silk cloth filled with flower petals. I am not making this up.

At age 7, the biggest crime I committed was keeping my lamp on past bedtime to read for just a few more minutes.
I think I was born fearful and law-abiding, though. My parents certainly were not enforcers or rule-makers.
I've seen sisters at the camp I work for with wildly divergent behavioral patterns. One is respectful and obedient; the other breaks rules and talks back. Both raised in the same house by the same adults.

I've made these, but I like to add a little chili powder to the cocoa powder to roll them in, and some spices to the ganache while it is melting. They are good.

I've unfortunately seen the chefography of Sandra Lee and of Rachael Ray. Sandra Lee's was much more humanizing. Rachael's didn't make me like her any more than I don't now. It just showed that she also has irritating names for her dog and husband, too. And that she is cut-throat with ambition. Both made me think... [more]

It's nice that some of you want to become vegetarians to remedy the problems of the meat industry (I am one myself), but I think it would be more effective to look at the problem closer to the source. If we diverted half of the corn subsidies to organic subsidies, it would make much more of a difference.
Get your letter-writing pens out rather than your corn and soy product veggie burgers.

My dad looks exactly like Borat, for better or for worse. People stop him on the street all the time.

I've never met anyone who looked like me, and no one's ever mistaken me for anyone (because I'm a special snowflake).
The one time I saw someone who looked like me was a young girl in some Holocaust footage in Hebrew school. I was especially upset by the fact that I would never meet her.
