Tell me more! I'm interested to know how the negotiations came to that conclusion even though the animals each prefer the opposite caretaker.

In the Mad Men episode where King is shot, Betty Draper tells her black housemaid that "maybe now just wasn't the right time," or something to that effect. From the comfortable viewpoint of history, we can look at that and say, of COURSE it was the right time, it was PAST the right time, and the statement seems both…
Is it? The only perfume gift I've ever gotten was Chanel No. 5 from my mom a few years ago, and obviously I loved that, but I really like perfume and would be happy if someone gave it to me.
I can't fucking find it now that I need it, but someone on tumblr did EXACTLY this photoshoot - she made herself up twice for each decade, once in a conservative and once in an edgy style. I can't believe it's gone missing now, but it's exactly what you're talking about.
I think a lot of people who have only heard about it but never seen it assume that it's like, big lumps of things you don't want to think about. I was surprised the first time I ordered haggis in Scotland (having never seen it) to find that it's just like minced or ground beef, which is a LOT easier to gaze upon.
The man I was sleeping with recently peaced himself out of my life, and since then (for about a month) I haven't been shaving any of my hair at all. It's been interesting seeing what's happened, and also a bit weird - I'm almost 30, and I don't have any idea what parts of my body look like if I'm not messing with…
It's bleach that's harsh on your hair. Dying can actually have some conditioning benefit.
Czech Republic has a ton of things to recommend it, but there is a reason why "Czech feminism" is a stock phrase among a certain sect. (As someone mentioned downthread, the assumption is always either that a) the Communists fixed everything w.r.t. sexism, and/or that because concern over sexism is was a Communist…
This is an extra-dick move when you realize that the Muslim calendar really only has two super-important holidays: Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha. When I was teaching in a Muslim country, those and New Year's were the only working days you KNEW you had off. All other holidays (like the Prophet's birthday) were decided…
When I was a kid I'd always put my shirt or dress on over my head as fast as possible, because I was afraid something would be there when I came out.
The only funny part of this whole Honey Boo Boo situation is if old-timer Jezebels can remember back to when the show first started and the editors were writing article after article tripping over themselves to tell us all that we were Bad Feminists if we looked askance at or did not take pleasure in watching this…
The funniest part of this to me is that most people who hold to halal or kosher would never even consider doing this, since most teachers in these faiths teach about using the tools that are available as necessary (for example, many though by no means all Muslim people would take a medicine containing alcohol if they…
What amazes me most is that he must have been putting the seat UP every time he used a public toilet. The mind boggles.
I am slightly over the "everything is made of jersey!" fashion situation we seem to be in. The last thing I want is ANOTHER way to wear shapeless sacks of structureless fabric. Also everyone has amazing legs in skinny jeans - everyone. Good luck getting me to give them up.
There was an article about this making the rounds online a few years ago - a guy went to a bunch of different mall staple stores with a measuring tape, and actually measured the waistband of the men's trousers. Someone else mentioned different measurements based on the "ease" of the fabric, but that's not what the…
Lol, do you remember in Goblet of Fire when Viktor Krum calls Hermione Hermy-own? I had a lightbulb moment when I read that. I had been saying it wrong in my head for years up until that point, and I think that's why he does it - I mean, it's nothing LIKE the right pronunciation, so if he'd been walking around hearing…
The school I teach at (in Sudan) has two sisters. The older one is Samha and the younger one is Samah. It's essentially the same name with the stress on a different syllable. And my bus driver's two girls are named Eptihal and Eptisal. Your mother's head would explode here.
Before people start getting all judgy-judgy about people naming their kids after books and TV, just remember that Jessica, the most ubiquitous of all possible names (except maybe Rachel) was invented by Shakespeare. People have been naming their kids after their culture for time immemorial, and will continue to do so…
They were one of the few online retailers that sold almost every style of trousers (not just a select few, mostly-leggings choices) in an inseam length that fits my 5-foot-11, mostly-made-of-legs body. Do you KNOW how hard it is to find trousers that aren't black and aren't leggings with a 36 inch inseam? They weren't…
