    Ladies Globe Trotting Hat?

    It arrived at my house on Saturday. It's just been really busy at work the past few days (October 15 is a big accounting day--401(k) audits are due). How do you secure this hat to your head? It came with a little strap, but I'm not sure how to use it.

    Let's Retire these Cliches

    Kramer (on Seinfeld, looking at a woman on the street): I'll take that. Jerry: And you're just what she's looking for, too.

    The Cosby Show

    I liked the episode where they lip synched "The Night Time is the Right Time." Great show! One of the few sit coms where the father wasn't a buffoon.

    Let's Retire these Cliches

    :offtopic: When I worked at the Air Force Academy, the tour guides would describe the place as being "rich in tradition" to guests from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The place was 40 years old! I'm sure the guests who were from cultures hundreds of years old had to suppress a lot of...

    Lead in Lipstick!

    Another Way of Looking at It Let's say you throw out your lipstick and replace it for $25. What else could you have done with the money to make yourself safer or healthier? You could have bought a Brita water filter that reduces the lead in your water by 93%. You could have gotten a flu...

    Lead in Lipstick!

    My great-grandfather was accidentally shot when he was a child and lived to a ripe old age with a bullet in him. Not that it did him any good, of course.

    "Judgmental." An accusation typically used by judgmental people when they're out of logical arguments.

    Lead in Lipstick!

    This article at Snopes.com doesn't address this study in particular, but does describe FDA regulation of cosmetics and puts the exposure to lead into perspective. I for one won't be throwing out my L'Oreal lipstick. One thing I found from the EPA's web site that I thought was interesting was...

    Lead in Lipstick!

    I'm aware of that. It's not the poison, it's the dose.

    Lead in Lipstick!

    If I were eating lipstick like candy, I'd be a more concerned. But I go through about a tube of lipstick per year.

    Let's Retire these Cliches

    I'd like to retire most sports jargon, but especially the phrase "Step up to the plate." People tend to say this when they feel proud of themselves for finally taking responsibility for something that, in bygone days, they'd have done automatically. For example: "He stepped up to the plate and...

    I just don't understand.

    The cause of my accident last year was a woman not looking for oncoming traffic (i.e., me) before she flew out of an alley into the middle of a three-lane street. Eleven months later, I'm still seeing a chiropractor and wearing splints in my mouth. The cause of pile-ups is following too...

    It's always preceded by something else. For instance, "In today's world, fashion designers are thinking outside the box by leveraging vintage glam with a twist!" It just means they're tweaking something that's been around.

    My best friend hate the song "I Gotta be Me." She says the real meaning is, "I'm a jerk, I'm immature, but hey, I gotta be me."

    Let's Retire these Cliches

    Shenanigans--that sounds like a friend's last romance: an illegal alien, a lesbian wife with a lesbian lover, kickbacks, sabotage, lots of lies...I didn't know the half of it when I told this friend, "This isn't love." If only I had added, "This is shenanigans!" The guy wasn't even good...

    Let's Retire these Cliches

    We could replace "drama" with "hijinks." It connotes the appropriate sense of immaturity that is most drama. Instead of saying, "I want to get a place where I don't need drama in my life," one could say, "I'm getting tired of all these hijinks." But not, "Life is too short for..." That's...

    Carrie Bradshaw style

    The other day, Manolo the Shoeblogger said that he didn't mind that the Carrie Bradshaw was the older bride, but he thinks she has exercised herself into a haggard state. I know the side lighting isn't flattering, but the whole look just doesn't suit a 40ish woman. :(
