What you did with ramen I did with mozarella sticks.

I'm pretty sure that's an incorrect citing of the statistic. The most dangerous time for a person in an abusive relationship is often the period after leaving the relationship (six months to a year), but that's a bit like saying that the most dangerous time in a flight is take off and landing, so you should never land…

Botanically a root, is well a root, and a leaf is a leaf. They're parts of a plant. A fruit is literally a part of a plant. A flower plant makes a fruit as one method of seed propagation (fruits are usually but not often the fertilized ovary of a plant; this is why when you make stuffed squash you use the male flowers…

Martial arts use a different skill set. I played basketball for five years before I ever landed a basket in a game. They made me a catcher in softball despite being small for my age because I couldn't catch or hit and in pee wee softball the catcher is usually where they put the heaviest, slowest, least talented…

Yeah I mean for sure trust your results (not trying to computer diagnose), it was more of a general statement.

At the risk of sounding like a right wing crazy, you might want to consider a martial art. There's been some evidence that martial arts can help some people deal with PTSD, in part because it totally forces you to be in the moment (because you can get a little hurt). And I want to emphasize a *little* hurt, putting…

I hate drama. I don't post passive aggressive FB messages though, and I actually don't post anything personal on my FB except like plant pictures and the occasional random excursion. I also usually say, "I hate drama" right at the point when I'm cutting you out of my life. An ex-friend invited me to a party (by email)…

I've been to more than one wedding with an ice sculpture. Usually during the cocktail hour before dinner. Not of a dolphin, though, and not dyed blue (or any colors) just ice colored.

Tomatoes, and peppers are *technically* fruits. From a science perspective fruits are anything with seeds on the inside (so eggplants qualify as do squashes), and yes strawberries are also fruits but they're a weird offshoot . Also almost half the calories in carrots come from sugar, just as an FYI. They have a high…

You know some of us northern dwelling brown skin chicks actually burn our skin in those 'hot space coffins' not to get brown but to stave off SAD and vitamin D deficiency, right? You also know that for brown skin people a whole host of neurological and immune disorders are linked with moving further from the…

I'm not asian but my parents are immigrants and growing up in a majority white neighborhood the asian/non-white immigrant kids were always the easiest to hang with (filipino, chinese, middle eastern) for starters we all worshipped at the cult of rice, had parents with thick accents etc. You could explore each other's…

Payots actually have nothing to do with the fundamental texture of your hair. If you decide that you don't want to be orthodox you can cut off your payots and move on. I'm not saying that they're not discriminated against but rather that their discrimination is distinct from the one this article is focused on. The…

The chemical 'fumes' from relaxing your hair are way less than dyeing it. I've done both. The real issue is that black hair is delicate and if you do it wrong you can permanently damage the scalp. Additionally, the best relaxers are arguably lye based relaxers (in terms of being better for the hair) but they are…

The outfit isn't meant for Lena's frame. It's either meant for someone very, very, tall and thin, or someone tall but with an hour glass figure who can carry it's heft.

Catholic doctrine post Vatican II has always said non-catholics can get into heaven. You just have to be a good person. And it's harder to be a good person (reasoning goes) if you're not Catholic. That's actually one of the main separations between Catholicism and Protestantism. The former focuses more on good works,…

You're half right. A wasps role is basically to prey on parasitic or prey insects. They're the bouncers of the insect world, whose sole function is to kill. I mean it's a good role, because without them we'd be over run by far more annoying insects, but unlike say spiders who mostly eat other insects and aren't…

A lot of people think (questionably) that killing bees is illegal. The result is most exterminators won't touch them (thank goodness because we need the bees). It's actually pretty easy (if you know what you're doing) to move a hive.

Actually they're pretty similar in that your consumption inhibits someone else's ability to consume. When you use a ton of bandwidth that limits other people's ability to use that same bandwidth, leaving companies to either charge you more (i.e. the cost of a customer had you used less data), or throttle your…

The Caribbean has history. Yes it gets obscured by people that just go to a resort and stay there, but there is a history, one that in some countries is older than that of the United States. It is more than America's resort.

I brought this up because we know for a fact that police who police their own communities act differently (less violence, more judgment etc) than cops who police communities not their own. It's hard to call people "animals" when they're your neighbor.
