Well if the definition of 'normal' is 'women in tech not wearing bathing suit things and inexplicably being in a pool' then I see what he was saying. Those first couple definitely seemed more about capturing an audience, while the second half favored the traditional head-shot approach.

Hell I still got the "oh I would never recommend you get an iud, you haven't had children yet" from my current gyno, but by that time I was just so fed up with people claiming to be doctors and wanted my damn nuvaring, I didn't call her on her bs. Maybe this year I'll try challenging this-after she is done scraping…

Nah, there are definitely adult characters in the show, and Twilight Sparkle is one of them. I'd say probably about college age as she is obsessed with passing exams and all of her friends appear to have stable jobs and places of their own, so maybe even Masters or phd aged. They show characters that are still kids,…

I feel bad that I contributed to this, at the party where my man and I got together he did card tricks after circle of death made doing tricks easy, and I ate that shit up. Course I also went there intending to nab him anyways, but still I was convinced he did magic all the time and it was actually just at the party…

A dear friend of mine faced a similar dilemma coming out of undergrad. She decided to become a professional unicorn for about a year (with the side job of working at a little pub). She told all the nosey people who feel entitled to demand what your plans are for next month and the rest of your life that she was going…

I am most surprised that after the noise about Mr. Pope Nazi Youth that they chose a Peronist that allegedly was part of the kidnappings and murders during La Guerra Sucia in Argentina. Especially since he was already a representative of the Catholic church when he did this, not a teen without a choice like Benedict.

Anybody know of a good instrumental/classical song good for ballet that is more Eastern European or Asian flavored? I've got music in French, Japanese, Spanish, and a gospel choir one and one by the famous Hawaiian guy...I want the last one to be interesting too. Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't know if it has a proper name, but my favorite combo is sangria + gin (read: carlo rossi sangria and gin. I blame college). Fruity with a punch, but major downside, most bars look at you funny and the dives don't carry any wine :(

Hahahaha I do Nuvaring for the same reason, I know I would end up pregnant if left to taking a pill at the exact same time every day. Also, what is your interpretation of the 3 hours? Is it 3 hours in one day, a week, or for the duration of that month?

Oh god, I want to ask you to elaborate and at the same time am terrified. I keep getting the spiel about the baby boomers retiring and good educators being in demand. What are your tales from the front-lines?

I am seriously one more major set back from saying fuck it with education and becoming a fifties house wife. Because I am good at baking and cleaning and would look damn hot in one of those aprons. Except for nearly a small houses worth of student loans. The SO would be fine with daily cookies if it weren't for the…

The best/worst I have ever heard was actually a recounting of a friend's experience on a cruse. Friend started a conversation with a random girl at the bar with, "Did you know that my penis can grant wishes?" The most jaw dropping part of this is that apparently it worked in that they hooked up. I chalk the whole…

I love the look of WTF on the other cat and dog's faces. My cat would have gone for the jugular before I hit the rug

Same idea here, $5 bottle of wine with a ribbon on it. If you really want to get fancy, scrape the label off, and stick something cute and birthday themed on instead. Then you wont even get the "really?" looks if it is Andre.

As another diagnosed depression sufferer that starts feeling extra crappy about this time of year, one of the tricks I have to feel productive/healthy/ like I am actually doing something about the lack of energy, without expending too much energy, is to go get vitamins and work at taking them. Vitamin D is so…

but neither are you a lion on the Savannah. In seriousness though, I see why you would be nervous about stepping on toes, but isn't there the 'world peace' speech part of this? I think if you work in to your answer how much equality means to you, and what exactly an equal world would be like, it is showing a nice…

I'm not sure on the vocal range, but I think a cutesy song that is similar but a bit less blatant is "Almost There" from Princess and the Frog.

Unless the proposal is when they are drunk. Then that means they actually were thinking about this before the fourth beer. My friend and her squeeze are a long term item, and have talked about it, but she felt that a ring-less proposal near the end of the night at oktoberfest did not quite count. This seems fair to me.

I made my first student loan payment to Wells Fargo today and am mildly panicking about my future. Only mildly mind you; I promptly sat there with my calculator and figured out how many hours a week at a second job I would need to at least pay the one with 9.74% interest off in three years...it shouldn't even be that…

You are a woman after my own heart, pero mi quierido doesn't like burritos! It is one of the few things incompatible though so I guess I'll give him a pass
