The Hold Steady are recording it! Awesome?

I think Ned's silence about Jon being Lyanna's is also to protect his family from Robert. Their rebellion would have gone very differently if Robert had known Lyanna wasn't all virtuous and pure or whatever.

The sword's not actually all that magical; his god isn't as into him as Stannis likes to think; Ned made lots of short-sighted decisions. But... he really doesn't give a single fuck. I'll grant him that.

I can see the appeal. And she's, like, 16 - smarminess is still attractive at that age. I also appreciate that he was pretty clear about what he had to offer - namely his dick.

The very idea of seeing Ramsay with Reek and his dogs ugh ugh ugh gag hack spew.

I think this person was embarrassed and decided to be an ass about it - they also didn't know just what they were being an ass about.

You have plenty of Jezzies to talk to, even if it's not the same as an in-person heart-to-heart. I know what it's like to never be able to catch a fucking break and not have anyone to talk to about it - it's awful and I'm sorry you're going through this. It won't help with the specific situations you're facing right…

That's pretty neat but I still think coconut water is totally LAAAAAME.

I had it straight from a coconut in Hawaii and it was amazing but I was starting to think it's one of those magic Hawaii things (like not feeling self-conscious in a bathing suit and eating pineapple without getting a rash) because all of the bottled ones have been so gross.

That's it exactly. VitaCoco (or whatever the fuck it is) tastes like phlegm and semen. It's horrifying.

I think that might be it. I had it straight from a coconut in Hawaii and it was great, but then I tried a few bottled ones and they were rank. I started to think I'd imagined the first one being good.

Can someone please explain coconut water to me? It's kind of salty and viscous - why is that refreshing? It's more bodily fluid than beverage in my mind. What am I missing?

I come from a family where we all talk over one another but still know exactly what the others are saying. I know it drives most people crazy but I think it's really efficient.

I think we do, in fact, realize - ask any woman who changed her name when her Second-wave mother kept hers if this is an issue of sexism. According to my mom I'm single-handedly responsible for turning back the clock on women's rights. I'm the only one of my friends who changed her name and I felt profoundly judged.…

My husband and I both took my last name as a second middle name. It's great, but be forewarned: your drivers license will look crazy and the TSA will have a terrible time matching your boarding pass to your ID. Worth it, but still.

We both took my last name as a middle name and use FirstName MyLastName HisLastName for work. Works great - I wanted his last name (he never asked me or expected me to change mine) and he wanted to make a gesture in return. I think it's sweet, even if we do both have ridiculous names now.

I have the Compact! Cleaning is unfun, but I don't think it's probably worse than other centrifugal juicers. It's all dishwasher safe, but you'll want to hand wash and scrub the filter/grater basket. My husband and I both use it and we have to pour off the juice into another container for big servings, but our kitchen…

To be quite honest, mine hurt like hell. It was totally worth it, but I had debilitating cramps for the 24 hours after. A heating pad helped most. I also have bad period cramps, though, so I may just have a finicky uterus. Try to have someone come with you to drive you home (I don't know if that's required, but I was…

I have IBS and I do just juice during the day and a reasonable dinner and it's helped. Poop doesn't just hang out like I think you're picturing (like pipes with buildup on the walls or something), though. I've had improved IBS symptoms I think because juice isn't hard of my gut, it means my diet is actually based…
