What makes you think our lives need improving? Or construe others opinions as criticism? Yes, theories are great, but there are exceptions to everything. If your theories are indeed true, then I am fortunate to be just that - the exception.— March 13, 2009 10:13 a.m.

"So, if my current girlfriend and I ever break up," Shouldn't this read "So, when my current girlfriend and I ever break up," Do you even realize you used the word "current"? HAHAHAHA!!!— March 13, 2009 9:09 a.m.

What exactly are you looking for, Fred, in your serial dating, if not a relationship? You guys are sterotyping. If anything, your myths are the ones that are "tired". Most women past the age of 30 have bigger fish to fry than worrying about their significant other's friends. I love my husband's friends, because they give me no reason to be insecure. They are happily married MEN and WOMEN. Yes, they exist, Fred. I know you want to cling to your beliefs that every four years you need to sow new oats, but it just ain't so. Every single person I know right now is DESPERATE for a relationshep. They are on all those dating websites, wondering why the other person has not called. And you older, single guys keep perpetuating these myths that women are clingy and need a man to be fulfilled, or get jealous of their friendships with others. Obviously, you are not marriage material. Same with you, Josh. You both hoard your single status like some pathetic badge of honor. I don't think that referring to your spouse as your best friend is a bad thing. Who else has your back ALWAYS? You wouldn't know, because you do not have the priviledge of being married to someone that complements you rather than tears you apart. Until then, continue dating, for whatever reasons.— March 13, 2009 8:54 a.m.
C is for Cookie
It was called "Latka's Cookies" and they were all addicted to them!! Funniest episode ever. I loved that show. I don't know a single person that ever got sick from cookie dough. At least not people our age. See, we grew up without all the anti-bacterial garbage, and could probably eat raw chicken and potato salad that's been in the sun for six hours without a problem. Kids today have compromised immune systems! Let them get a little germy - it's actually good for them. Did you see Jesus is Magic? Funny stuff.— March 12, 2009 8:35 a.m.

You should get married when you are older, and not necessarily to have children. I like Fred's idea about taking religion out of marriage. You are more likely to procreate at a younger age, and it is less difficult to raise children when you are younger. You are actually less selfish and closer to being a child yourself. I see the older moms picking up their kids at school and they look like hell. The younger ones are happy and at ease with their children. What I am getting to is that our society requires (or at least requests) that you be married in order to have children. What a bunch of hooey. But what are the alternatives? So, back to ANS. I think she did herself in on purpose. She desperately wanted to identify herself with Marilyn Monroe, who also died of a drug overdose at the age of 36. She was no MM, and maybe the old guy was her Arthur Miller. Anyway, she was tragic, in a perverse kind of way. Sure, everyone will say it was a conspiracy, that Stern fed her drugs to keep her pliable and give him access to her money, but, really, who cares? All that those good looks got her was dead. She was born to be exploited.— March 11, 2009 7:58 p.m.

HAH! I did that on purpose, because it was stuck in my head, too! Figured I'd share the agony...— March 11, 2009 7:41 p.m.
C is for Cookie
That was the funniest Taxi episode ever!!! I still think of it to this day, when they ate the cookies that were laced with cocaine. Do you remember how Jim's face goes immediately from sober to stoned when he takes a bite? And Bobby is flying by in the background because he has tons of energy? I'll make an exception for GS cookies. I love them frozen. Thin Mints. You move in lofty circles. Backstage? Did you get to meet Sarah Silverman? Love her.— March 11, 2009 6:51 p.m.
Give and Take
You scamps! I bought my sister a bread machine. She sent me home with a warm loaf of bread that everyone in my row on the plane could smell. So, altruistic me shared it with them. It felt good and tasted even better.— March 11, 2009 2:45 p.m.

Anti - you are often spot-on, but this time you are out in left field. I have no problem with women doing whatever the hell they want to themselves. But this is deep-rooted insecurity and zero self-esteem we are talking about, not a little touch-up. Yeah, I'm jealous of a drug-addled corpse.— March 11, 2009 2:35 p.m.
Music Notes...Metallica, Michael Jackson, and a Monkee in the Middle
Who was the first band on Billboard to have their first four albums released go to No. 1? Go figure, Board. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer....not a trace, of doubt in my mind...I'm in love, ahhhhhhhhhh, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, THEN I SAW HER FACE, NOW I'M A BELIEVER YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH.... NOT A TRACE, OF DOUBT IN MY MIND.....— March 10, 2009 8:16 p.m.
