• Zingerman's Deli: Is a $15 Sandwich Worth the Price? (Gadling)

  Jun 9th 2011 6:25PM My thoughts exactly. This piece had no more substance or flavor than a Subway sandwich. Why bother other than to fill a quota or a deadline?

• New Wife, New Kitchen (Shelterpop)

  Mar 27th 2011 3:26AM Geez Louise, Arnold, did Sad First Wife consent to have such a grim photo of her posted on AOL, posed in an ugly kitchen used for the sake of your article, a kitchen she probably didn't like either? "See here, here's the first wife and the ugly kitchen I traded in for a newer, prettier version." Yikes. I'm sorry, First Wife, that you ended up here -- unless you were asked permission and thought it would be a great idea to have your past splashed up there. Somehow I doubt it.

• Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman Look Fabulous at 40-Something at 'Just Go With It' Premiere (Stylelist (Main))

  Feb 10th 2011 12:14PM Jennifer Aniston in a *black* dress. Again. Yawn. She's give an old Italian grandmother a wet dream with this constant-black wardrobe.

• Dumped & Unemployed to Pumped & Loaded (AOL Jobs)

  Jan 13th 2011 2:27PM This entire "article" is nothing more than an longer-than-average advertisement for this "sponsor." What claptrap this is. I will bother with a comment, but not a click to the website.

• 5 frank cruise tips the cruise line won't tell you (Gadling)

  Jan 3rd 2011 8:28PM Who decided the point was to spend *no* extra money on board? All-inclusive, to me, means that all the basics are included at such a favorable rate, that, I can actually afford to buy good drinks, gamble a bit, treat myself to a shawl from the shop, and yes, have a few spa treatments. I wouldn't pay $200 for any massage, land or sea, but there are numerous other spa treatments which are perfectly affordable and make my stay much more pleasant. True, these perks are not necessary, but, neither is taking a craft to shore to a tour, either. It's just one of your options that make the entire trip more delightment, and, more affordable because the trip is so affordable from the OUTSET. I can watch the sea go by, which is relaxing, or, I can get a pedicure so that I look cuter in my shoes when I go dancing. It's all part of my vacation and I don't think I've been robbed if I pay a little for that privilege. Spa treatments get a bad name.

• Luxist Giveaway: Flor Carpet Tiles (Luxist)

  Nov 10th 2010 6:38AM Lovely! How generous. I love my concrete floor but it's might cold and hard to stand on it for long. Would love to try these!

• When Adult Children Fight, a Mother's Heart Breaks (ParentDish)

  Nov 1st 2010 7:03PM I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but, this immediately called to mind the terrible dilemma which eventually was presented to David Kaczynski when he had to alert authorities that he thought his younger brother, Ted, was more than likely the much sought after UnaBomber.
  
  I feel for you, totally, and it's a shame such a fundamental and huge cashm has come between your children, however, it sounds as if your younger son had taken a more calm and peaceful road, and he likely is very concerned that his older brother, who appears from what limited information we reader know, has taken an angry and dangerous road, because he isn't able to balance his views or parcel them out at the appropriate times or in the appropriate methods.
  
  Your youngest may well fear that this volitile lifestyle will end up putting your older son in a situation that causes far more heartbreak to the entire family -- and possibly the public or other innocents -- than the current rift is causing.
  
  Mom, I wonder if reading David Kaczynski's published essays, about the terrible dilemma he had to face, would give you ANY assistance at all, in how to deal with this rift and personality clash before it becomes violent (and fingers crossed that it doesn't).
  
  Blessings on you and your entire family.

• Elderly New York Couple Kicked Off Ship After Fight (AOL Travel News)

  Oct 6th 2010 2:14PM Like the commenter Trix in Brooklyn, my best friend immediately noticed this story, and the couple in question, and rolled her eyes saying "it was bound to happen." Says my BFF: "The husband is the dearest thing in the world, so elegant and polite at all times, even when he's standing next to the singularly most shrewish woman I've ever had the mispleasure of meeting. She plays the Jewish Card like others play the race card -- when it's unfair to do so. Arrive too late for your pedicure and miss your appointment? You're discriminating against me because I'm Jewish. Ask for a hair appointment on a day we are too busy to fit you in on zero-notice? You're discriminating against me because I'm Jewish. We've often asked how he can possible stay with this woman and we finally came up with this: He's simply too polite to leave her."

• Makeover Diaries: From Unhappily Married to Free, Fit and Fine (Stylelist (Main))

  Oct 6th 2010 2:35AM She looks happier, if not necessarily 75 lbs thinner, but one must realizae that may not be a picture at her heaviest, either. That's not what strikes me most. No, what I noticed is, this entire article reads like an advertisement. So much so, I had to look around and see if there was an "Advertisement" bar acdross the top, such as the type you'd see in your Sunday Parade insert. I suppose "seed" or whatever is supposed to help you plant seeds and make recommendations, but the entire thing reads like shilling for pay. Fifty years ago, this would have been "They laughed when I sat down at the piano...but then I began to play! Send .25 for a pamphlete on how you too can become a pianist!"

• T.R. Knight in Los Feliz, Estate of the Day (Luxist)

  Sep 14th 2010 3:53PM I don't care for the dark black interiors but otherwise, I think this place is lovely and for once, not cookie cutter at all. What a wonderful place to live, and what history it has.
