Ooh, that's a good one! I know it's so incredibly cheesy, but I knew he was the one on the first date. We went for sushi and he passed the empty sushi boat to the waitress while making this adorable "wssh-wssh" boat noise. Then the rest of the night was spent on a blanket in the park, talking. When he kissed me good night, I was done for. One year later we got married in Vegas. Married 4 years now and it just keeps getting better.
Ummm.. "entire Muslim states devoted to anti-Semitism".
As opposed to that entire Jewish state devoted to eradicating Muslims?

Teacher in the house! I am trying to prevent the brain mush this year by taking a course at the university (only 4 weeks! instant pay increase!), taking sewing lessons and by tackling Infinite Jest (my book club was feeling ambitious!). So far so good... though I could probably use some of your cleaning energy...
Damn right! Im a high school teacher and the majority of my students are Afghan. They are sassy as all get out, super smart and can rock a hijab more ways than you can imagine. This image of victim simply does not reflect reality for many Afghan women.
I didn't know him at all (aside from the time we met three days before and he asked me out). Anyway, I get what you're saying, I am just trying to provide food for thought that snap judgments are not always fair.
Every single word of this. Thanks for your eloquence. I am sick of "my choice" nonsense that totally disregards the system of power within which that choice was made. Oh really? You'd be eating nothing but steamed veggies and non fat yogurt if you lived on a deserted island with no concept of beauty standards? Ok, tell yourself that.
Yes, he actually did tell me about this on the first date. We sat in the park and he had brought chocolate covered strawberries. I had decided to pitch in and bring a bottle of wine. He played with the glass I handed to him, trying to decide if he would compromise his values for me. Finally, he blurted out an apology and explanation for why he couldn't (not wouldn't... his trauma/anxiety actually prevents him). Did I think he was uptight? Hell no. I thought he was brave and sensitive to be able to be so honest on a first date, in a world where many people (like yourself) would consider that a dealbreaker.
My husband has never touched alcohol because his mom died of complications from alcoholism. So... there's that. Easy with the judging.
Sooo.... Stuff White People Like. Now in 3 handy categories.
Ooh, a link to the pattern would be *much* appreciated! Soo cute!
Thank you for that. Never fails to make me spit-take.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Hmm, so much for the OMGOBESITYEPIDEMIC theory that life expectancy would decline for the first time ever. Kinda makes you wonder if anything else we hear about how dangerously fat we are is actually, you know, scientifically wrong.
@Sam I - 5-point-OMGWTFBBQ: Wow, thanks for the info! Very helpful!

Has anyone used Champix to quit smoking? My hubs just started 3 days ago and so far no nasty side effects. Just wondering if anyone has any success (or not) stories, or extra advice to make the quitting stick? Thanks!

@slightlyhardup: Ewww, that is definitely raising a whole field of red flags for me. Alas, I don't know how to report it either. I also marked it as prohibited, and hopefully any woman who reads that will have the good sense not to reply to that creep.

@Penny: I would venture to say that there are moments of sheer brilliance on the newest album. Dance Yourself Clean? I Can Change? So.Good.
I will be at that farewell concert, though my arms are fat, not bony, and there will be clapping. So much clapping.

@greenergrass: I can't wrap my head around the idea that people aren't paying attention. This is HUGE.
Also, I wish CNN would stop calling Mubarak's thugs "Pro-Mubarak Protesters". It makes it sound like they are legitimate.
