What's the Sketchiest Phrase You'll Ever Hear?

"Sex tarp."  Not a phrase you want to hear from anyone.  Ever. 

Our first link today comes from the fabulous KatSings.  I want to simultaneously applaud the author of this piece as well as hug her.  It's hard out here for the unemployed, and vicious stereotypes don't make it any easier.  (Addicting Info)

Curiosity Lands on Mars, Ferdowsi Lands in Our Hearts

While many of us were sleeping Monday morning, NASA's latest rover, Curiosity, landed on Mars for a two-year research mission.  Here's what you missed if you weren't breathlessly awaiting touchdown. (io9)

Meanwhile, back on Earth, NASA activity lead Bobak Ferdowsi suddenly became the toast of the internet when images of his hawt mohawk hit Twitter.  An intelligent rocket scientist who's also cute?  Be still my heart!  (Buzzfeed)

Oh Monday, Monday, So Good to Me

Ugh, Monday.  Have you recovered from your weekend?  Or did you take the day off to recuperate?  If you're playing hooky today, I hope you didn't use any of these excuses.  #1 is impressively stupid.  (Grindstone)

Toe-slimming surgery is the latest in a long line of unnecessary medical procedures.  Ladies, your toes are fine.  Don't let some slimy doctor convince you to waste your money and butcher your body!  (Blisstree)

If you missed all the fun at Comic Con this week, fear not, here's a roundup of what went down.  (The Mary Sue)

The one panel I wish I had experienced?  The 10 year anniversary reunion of the cast and crew of "Firefly."  Thankfully, you can watch that panel in its entirety here.  Shiny!  (Oh My Geek!)

Honeysuckle Breastmilk Storage Bags: Mother Earth Likey?

Dixie

Last week I discussed how middling the Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags are. Since they are unfortunately so readily available you might be asking, "Dixie, what the hell am I supposed to store my milk in?! I worked hard for this stuff, yo." Fear not, ladies and partners passing this article on to nursing mothers, I am about to tell you about an excellent bag. One that doesn't chip when you give it a cross look.

And that bag is? Honeysuckle Breastmilk Storage Bags! I learned about these bags from a friend on Facebook, and I am so grateful she posted about them. Since I switched to the Honeysuckle bags, I have not had a single problem with chipping and leakage. Overall, the plastic that the bags are made from is just better quality than the Lansinoh ones and it's biodegradable, which makes my inner Earth Mother very happy.

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk. Wait...the Opposite of That: Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags

Dixie

Ladies, nursing mothers, you work hard for that liquid white gold and you want to store it away for future feelings, maybe when you're dead tired and it's time for your partner to give the baby a bottle (hint, hint, partners). So, what do you use? 

Jars are fantastic, but if you're a klutz like me maybe using your sleep-deprived hands to grab a glass container isn't a good idea. Plastic storage containers? Also great, but you might end up buying an ass-ton of them, and not only is that expensive but it takes up a hell of a lot of room. Right, then. Bags it is...and bags it was for me for eleven months of pumping. 

ELEVEN MONTHS. My poor boobs.
