Do You Like Facebook's New Layout?
The new layout, which Facebook head honcho Mark Zuckerberg officially announced on this week's "60 Minutes," gives your friends a quick bio on you and displays the most recent five photos you've been tagged in. Since not every Facebook friend is really your friend (as Jimmy Kimmel pointed out a few weeks ago), you'll have the opportunity to highlight your closest friends on your profile as well as feature family members -- if you're cool with friending your mom. Sports fans will also be happy to know that you can show your team colors loud and proud on the new sports feature, and polyglots can brag about all the languages they speak.
What do you think of the new layout? Are you Team Old or Team New?

How Not to Handle the Holidays -- A [Redacted] Guide for Single People
Houses and stores are bedecked, people are hanging out with their loved ones, holiday parties are giving us an excuse to binge-eat pumpkin bread and drink brandy at work. It's really a magical time of year, a final spasm of goodwill before February turns us all into deep depressives
Only my seasonal affective disorder usually starts a little earlier, like say, SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
The holidays, and winter in general, are for couples.
I swear, I'm not beating my usual "life is cruel for us singles" drum, because we pretty much own spring and summer. In winter, though, people pair off and disappear like the end of a key party, and we're of just left sitting there on the couch in our Fair Isle sweaters, wondering where everybody went.
While couples are intertwined in front of fireplaces, spoon-feeding one another stew, us single people are slumped in our chairs like Bob Cratchit, warming our fingers in front of a glowing "Monk" marathon.
After 30-some years of being single, I haven't become inured to getting a little down about it. Who ever gets used to not having somebody to take home to their mother or to introduce around at the work party or, hell, even buy something goofy for?
It's the season of giving, after all, so I'm giving you my thoughts on staving off the Holiday Blues.

'Tis the Season to Explode Things
There's something about stuffing an effigy with explosives that fills us with holiday cheer. Why? Oh, we don't know. There's snow in it and there was once a Star Wars Christmas special. Happy Life Day, everyone. ENJOY!

Lemondrop Readers Weigh In -- The Most Annoying Flight Passengers
Lemondrop readers weighed in on our Facebook page to share with us the fellow passengers we simply can't stand:
"ANYONE :P" -- Leah D
"Lmao.... true true, anyone you don't know." -- Cheryl P
"The person who talks constantly, and asks personal questions. A bit of obligatory small talk is fine since you are in tight quarters. But some people don't recognize the hints of 'I don't want to talk and be your new best friend.' -- Tracey Almon
"Bad breath/B.O. guy." -- Roderick M
"If you're cracking gum, I might just backhand you..." -- Jill L
"I can handle the loud eater, the shuffler, the kids. I can sleep just about anywhere and I'm not above just straight out saying, 'Well, OK, I'm going to rest my eyes now!' then putting my headphones on. What I CAN'T STAND is the person who thinks it's appropriate to douse themselves in perfume/cologne before leaving for the airport." -- AnAnyMouse
"Anyone who takes my armrest!" -- Brittany B
"Probably the badly behaved little boy that won't stop screaming." -- Elizabeth F
"The old snoring lady who has denture breath and spills her coffee everywhere. And anyone who bathed in stinky perfume, anywhere is a nuisance." -- Heather S
"Anyone who smells of smoke, alcohol, bad breath, B. O. or anyone plastered in perfume! Truly makes me feel sick!" -- Mischel S
