But what if your parents don't have that to offer you? Student loans are an option for such people, but you'd be hard pressed to find a bank that would give you a mortgage without you having a 50k deposit. So if you have nothing, college could be the way to go.

The line "This is my weapon"? Yeeeeeesh.

I thought Swedes were generally protestants..

Or we can "caramelize" vegetables in their own sugars. This is why Gwen's Brussell Sprout recipe works a treat.

Oh, and I went and spelled it wrong like a doofus.

Thanks for this, I am off to a job interview in about an hour and this is the sort of stuff I need to be reminded of. I was thinking this morning that women probably spend more time worrying about the way they look for an interview than preparing for the interview itself - not that this is out fault, society judges…

Vluvae! I love a good non-standard pluralization, but especially when it concerns genitalia.

Like a normal penis with a bow on it.

Selling zoo merchandise is hardly "squee-capitalism". Zoos are usually run by charitable trusts- they don't have CEOs or shareholders and their profits go to conservation projects worldwide which stop such animals from "fading mercifully into extinction".

thank you.

To a certain extent I see what you're saying. When men fart sometimes, it's almost like they are establishing territory - you can't be disgusted by them because they and their farts "belong" there. Having said that, I am a very flatulent person after abdominal surgery and I know the dangers of holding them in. I have…

Or parents can.

"Mrs. Carter goes on to call Blue Ivy "my homey, my best friend," which is notable because:

I had one employer that restricted hair to colours "within the natural spectrum" and I thought as soon as I quit, I'll dye it Manic-Panic red. So I did, but when applying for jobs in future I was worried about the interview process with red hair. My current employers clearly didn't give two shits, and when I got bored…

I thought you were saying your nickname at school was Nice and Easy. That would bring it's own set of challenges.

I thought it had something to do with sugar in the morning - your blood sugar is low in the morning from now having eaten all night, and drinking soda is basically mainlining sugar - maybe this very abrupt change from low to insanely high blood sugar isn't good for your body? Having said that I love a sugary cereal or…

That is one complicated family.

She might be an outlier, but I have an awesome friend who recently had her first child, and she is as wonderful, caring, considerate and eager (though admittedly, not as available) to get coffee as she was before said kid. I recently got married and she did so many things to help. I had a birthday the other day that I…

I've gained weight since becoming vegan but I've also gotten older, am on hormonal birth control, got my drivers license and started driving more etc. etc. Again, everyone is kind of confusing veganism for a health fad or a "diet" over a lifestyle choice - the stuff about health is more of a "bonus" - it saves animals…

Urgh or the Chimera from Full Metal Alchemist. Oh the nightmare fuel.
