Long story short, know your breed, and know the individual dog. No dog should be purchased on appearance alone.

Yeah, it's not like there's a better way to do that, like take them to a shelter where they'll be adopted to responsible people.

Tell me more about this secret info you think all Muslims possess about terrorist actions. You know, just really cement the fact that you're crazy in the minds of everyone reading this. Be explicit. For extra credit, tell us about how the chemtrails made you infertile.

It is DEFINITELY weird that we have to police the nipples that a woman has control over, but the people who, without her consent, pretend to show her nipples, are protected by law.

I've never surrendered an animal, but I've considered it (my mother dumped her absolutely psychotic dog on me). It was the consideration that literally no one else would be able to take him, because he hated every living thing except me and my parents, that stopped me. I can't imagine not thinking about the animal as

It's not the job of the peaceful majority to verbally distance themselves from the violent minority. They've already done everything they're required to do by not being violent and not spreading violent rhetoric.

I agree it could have been worse. I can also see that she panicked. It's just that doing the right thing would have been SO EASY. She had to catch the last train home - fine. Clearly the dog would be allowed on the train (since she was both planning to buy a dog and planning to take the train). She should have taken

Right, like, I get that asthma can be a serious condition, but I don't get what relevance it could possibly have to the story? It's not being reported that she was looking for a low-shedding dog (or any other quality that gets some dogs called "hypoallergenic) and got left with another type of dog, just that she was

I think it's pretty clear that Amal has gone to dinner with a princess or two in her time & was all up in their steez. She looks absolutely regal.

I love it. I mean, I wish it was finished better - the skirt is too long, and the bodice could be more fitted - but it's so odd and sparkly. What can I say, I like 'em weird.

I've actually never made enough money at ESL teaching to be able to travel almost at all, and since I always go with the intention to live solely on the money I make... In CZR I saw Dresden for one day, because I had to go drop off my visa application, and had a long weekend in the Netherlands as part of a school trip

I was there late 2008 to mid-2009. It was lovely, and I never would've left except that with the financial crisis just starting, they stopped giving visas to anybody. It was actually really scary - everyone knew people who were being deported. The embassy in Dresden hung onto my visa application for 7 months without

This is huge. My biggest piece of advice tags onto your saying that teaching is not a vacation - You're not going to be able to travel as much as you might think, because if you're a teacher you need to BE THERE with your students. Choose someplace where you don't mind actually living and spending the vast majority of

Also I'm super jealous that you have a euro passport - I only left Czech Republic because I was in danger of getting deported (it was 2009, the financial crisis had just started, and they weren't giving visas to ANYBODY). I would absolutely love to not have that difficulty hanging over me.

Honeypie, I get you. I super get you. I went to Sudan between finishing my MA coursework & writing my thesis - a process that took me 2 years. I spent the first year at home spinning my wheels & sinking into depression. As soon as I started feeling better & capable of doing ANYTHING, I signed on to go to Sudan. My

I would agree except that I love neolithic history, so. Stonehenge - kind of my thing.

I had this experience. We were in London for 2 months, and I didn't know anyone there or in my travel group. I made friends with one guy, and we took off almost every weekend (we had 3-day weekends in our program), and in the end I managed to make it to all 4 UK capitals, plus a few other trips (although I'm still sad

The only lesson Sarai Sierra taught us is that sometimes terrible things happen. And if you get to the age of 20 without already knowing that, you're either strangely sheltered or strangely obtuse.

It's a tough balance for anyone to strike, but if anybody ever wants advice on how to do this via teaching English, I've done it twice (in Czech Republic and Sudan), and it definitely makes it easier to go away and stay away for a long time if you're making a bit of money to do it. In fact, I probably never would have

Yes! The Nine Tailors. I have never met a change ringer who hasn't read it.
