ahhhhhhhh. No more commas. My professor ignores content to critique us using archaic comma rules. Free orthography!

Anybody else watching the finale of the Iron Chefs tournament? I am still so puzzled at Morimoto not sweeping this thing. Pretzels? Huh? Methink we are on a budget

That is very interesting, to my American ears House of Lords was always assumed as the fancier of the the two. Do the Houses in the UK get a salary like Congress does in the US? Thanks for sharing!

So the rich titled people don't put the poor titled people in a separate category? They freely socialize with them? Live in the same areas?

My boyfriend shares your opinion that beaches are awful to my eternal dismay. He hates the day-ball with a passion. I have only ever had positive experiences at the beach and so am more willing to overlook the sand issues. I have one guaranteed date-night-that-is-doing-things-with-people-out-of-his-comfort-zone this…

Dawwwww :) happy puppy

I love the idea of a shake-up on the gender/ethnicity of the Doctor, but I don't think that would stop the stupid companionmances :/ They seemed to try to get away from it a bit with the Ponds, and I haven't gotten a romance vibe from Clara, but the dynamics are still all weird. Though if it were a female Doctor, and…

I haven't seen the last couple of episodes so no super spoilers pretty please? I would watch all of the episodes though if Neville became the new Doctor. And if increased sexy times during episodes starts happening, well, boyfriend shouldn't notice -too- much of a correlation, right?

It is totally screwing up my study habits. How can I read an article, then play on GT for five, then read another article if there is no awesome GT posts to carry me through the weekend? Can I blame them for why my lit review is only shaping up semi-coherent?

Can you tell me more please? I am doing oodles of reading about social class in the US for my classes, but have very little to go on for most other countries.

Standardized tests are most beneficial if the goal of education is to rank students and shuffle them to their level appropriate job for the betterment of society. If you think society is better served by having critical thinking citizens that have the chance to follow their creativity and dreams, then having a…

It seems to be catching on which is great, since gender neutral pronouns are so damn useful. Even just reading through the comments here tonight you can find people using "they" as a gender neutral third person pronoun. Now to work it into other number/gender neutral situations like with "fish"......leave me alone,…

Definitely give her a call. She knows that it was a possibility and suggested it even; if you know that you need to go talk to her please don't hesitate to ask. I'm sorry you have had to go through this and hope everything works out for you.

I'm glad you are on the upswing and that you have a great sounding support network there for you! So many people end up going through psychological distress and I want to thank you for sharing your story. It always makes me feel less alone when other people share about their experiences with depression, it makes it…

Oh my god yes. All I wanted in sixth grade was to be able to wear 'cute' clothes, but I already had Cs by then so perfectly charming shirts my peers were wearing made me look like I was looking to hit the red light district. My parents flipped when my aunt gave me this cute shirt and I was all excited to wear it out…

Yes, this. My pms is very mild usually, especially since starting nuvaring, but sometimes I just get these waves of the feels. It predictably goes like this; I don't feel good, bf thinks I am mad at him, I am not mad at him, I ache and feel like a snapping turtle, I end up tearfully telling bf that I am a snapping…

Yes!!! I have lived in the midwest my whole life and have never had seasonal allergies like this before, this is ridiculousness.

That parting line is so fucking creepy. I would have run, not walked, away from the car, locked all the doors and windows and hid. Especially since he knows where you live. Please say you live in an apartment where you can tell your neighbors to call the police if they see him hanging around?

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Working up the nerve to ask profs for letters of rec was more stressful than any final or paper in all of undergrad. So of course all of the ones i asked agreed right away and were really sweet about it and excited that I was going to be continuing my education. like hippodriod said,…

I definitely hear you on lots of people assigning moral judgey-ness to the frequency of use for plan B. It is silly as it is nothing like the abortion pill, not that they should be even if it was. I am very proud of my ex-step-mom for slowing her rant about killing baby souls long enough for me to explain that and…
