Posted by beth on May 18, 2010

Today’s first question is this: Gain? Really, your reader demographic skews towards ads for Gain? And my best answer is…Yes? I honestly have no idea how my ads work. I don’t know if my reader demographic skews toward ads for cleaning supplies, or if BlogHer just has an agreement with all their advertisers to give [...]

Today’s formspring question isn’t so much a question as it is a request, and a rather vague one at that, but here goes: More on Jews, Please. Thank Jew. Friends, I’m not really sure how to respond to this, but I suppose I have several options. I could start an ongoing Jew segment, giving you [...]

It has come to my attention that some of you are not taking this “Question of the Day” thing seriously and are posting ridiculous questions on my formspring page anonymously. And all I have to say to that is: Well done. Keep ‘em coming. Today’s question is: Why don’t you have a cross cut into [...]

Posted by beth on May 6, 2010

I just got an email from formspring informing me that someone had asked me a question. First of all, keep ‘em coming. I have one story to tell you about a hippie named Moon who talks to his paintbrush, but after that, I’m going to be out of things to talk about. Ok fine, I’ll [...]

Today’s question comes from “A Fan in South Cackalacky,” who is surprisingly NOT my mother. I know! I have two fans in the S.C. This fan asks: How do you feel about self-flushing toilets- especially the really sensitive-to-light-and/or movement ones that flush randomly? I have several feelings about these toilets, mostly negative. I’d like to [...]

The pastor of the church I went to in Raleigh talked a lot about men who wouldn’t grow up. You know the ones – they live in their parents’ basement where their mom probably does their laundry, they may or may not have a job, spend all their money on video games and TVs on [...]

Posted by beth on March 26, 2010

Ahem. Do I look any older today? Any wiser, perhaps? You may notice that I have a new banner up at the top there, which is all thanks to my awesome sister, who is much better at that sort of thing than I am. But that’s not what I’m talking about. This is my ONE [...]

I don’t know really how to approach this, so I’ll just say it. I think we’re all pretty clear on the fact that I am awesome. My friend Dan always says I have the highest self-esteem of just about anyone he knows, and it’s true, but I’m about to let y’all in on a big [...]

The only things that belong to you are the ultra-white Reeboks your mom brought home last night Because your feet are growing faster than your brother’s. You were ecstatic. You don’t want to break [...]
