I lack confidence in the ability of my low flow toilets to kill it, and would live in fear of butt bites.

I have a basic rule of thumb - outside, they get left alone, as long as they doon't crawl on me. Inside, they're asking for death, and I'm the answer. Stay in my garden, eating the pests, spides. Let us live in harmony

real time question: Are they supposed to put trigger warnings before the headline? Because otherwise, isn't the headline enough of a trigger warning?

I really really hated the book, so much. This is the story of a woman who makes terrible decisions and wants you to view not dying via those terrible decisions as being a strong survivor.

I need to know. Was she bitten three times in different incidents, or repeatedly by the same snake?

I donate my clothes to goodwill for a specific reason. Around here, if you donate, you can get a voucher for a participating church or organization and they can use those vouchers to let people who need help shop. My church always asks people to step up their donation game and get vouchers around back to school. A lot…

Maybe. I wouldn't class my family as racist. They never, that I saw, had a problem working with or for anyone. I think this was just "that's just what they're called, so it's not racist"

I never heard it outside of Ohio, so who knows.

Haha. I had to ask a friend. We always had Brazil nuts and Christmas and we wre talking about traditions and I didn't kow what to call them! so embarassing. And the worst part is, I wouldn't class my family as racist. They never, that I saw, had a problem working with or for anyone. I think this was just "that's just…

I had this same problem. I do think it is more of a midwestern thing though. We lived in Ohio when I was a kid.

I heard that growing up, and as an adult literally didn't know what theyw ere actually called or how to ask for them at the store.

I straight up thought this said Alyssa Milano and I was like, that's awesome, but I don't see her in the picture! Reading comprehension, I have it.

You are correct! Raisins are disgusting, craisins are the bomb.

Dr shopping is hard to do, period. I switched endocrinologists this year and the one I wanted to see wouldn't see me because he could tell from my file that I had previously seen another endocrinologist. She told me to just go back to that guy. Which I would have IF I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A TIMELY APPOINTMENT. Ridic.

So true. I was having headaches last year and my ENT referred me to a neurologist. He prescribed meds that conflicted with my thyroid medication, wanted me to get a scanwith IV dye, even though I'm allergic AND the dye interacts in a dangerous (kidney destroyin) way with another med, which he didn't bother to mention…

But not too much smiling. That is also bad.

Who was it that said "feminism is the radical notion that women are people?"

Well, I'm glad you noticed I wasn't just being a smartass. I was being a smartass with a point. I do wonder if these attacks were directed at men, would people be so quick to brush it off as "just mental illness"? Because I think blaming it on mental illness makes it easy to shrug it off as something that couldn't be…

I get frustrated with all the arm chair psychiatrists in these cases because we are so eager to chalk up every violent act to "mental illness" and I think that further stigamtizes mental illness and makes people even more reluctant to get help.

It's amazing to me how many of these men who can't be held responsible for their actions due to mental illness direct those issues towards women.
