Where is the sneaking? The poster said it was refilled quickly, which makes sense as its not cooked. Portugal is not like other mediterranean countries where paying for the cover is sporadic and sometimes predatory. You pay for it 100% of the time there, from the fanciest restaurant to the cheapest, neighborhood…

How was this a scam? Spain is different, but in Portugal you always pay for the cover if you eat it. It's usually 2-3 euros for bread, olives, cheese or butter, sometimes veggies. It's completely standard practice and hardly a rip-off. The poster didn't say they sneaked it onto the table, just that refilled it…

It's not a scam. Its standard in Portugal for everyone, everywhere, and in my memory always listed on menus with prices. Its also common in Italy and elsewhere. Its basic well-known knowledge, the type that you would read in a 1 page summary of things to know about traveling in Portugal. There is really no excuse for…

Delta is THE WORST! I have soooo many crappy delta stories, and since I became physically disabled, they have fallen further in my estimation, they treat their disabled customers the worst of any airline I have flown. And I am not a big person, but some of their large jets have just abysmal seat space. I always try to…

Yes! I was working on an opera, and the concept was an doing 18th century English take on Ancient Rome. We researched era portrayals of rome, and it was a very different feel and look to a current portrayal of the time. It was so very 18th century. Similarly, in Brazil I saw a play based in the middle east, and while…

But it was under heavy british colonial influence, though it stayed sovereign.

Their blood will actually make you less susceptible to Ebola. It contains antibodies to Ebola virus, not Ebola virus itself. It can be lifesaving to people with an Ebola infection. In most cases it is the only treatment available to people infected with Ebola (besides supportive therapy.) It is incredible valuable and…

You cant keep quotes, signed contracts, or fabric swatches on pinterest.

Yeah i love when people refer to sulfates being in dish detergent like it proves they are horrible. That said, I have a lot of very fine hair that gets weighed down easily. I've found I do better with sulfate free products because the conditioners don't contain silicones (you need sulfates to remove them) so my hair…

Ok... But just so you know, gawker also has sub blogs- there's no escaping kinja.

In chronic pain patients the areas of the brain for memory and concentration physically shrink. It's also related to too little of a certain brain chemical. I wonder if "pregnancy brain" could be at all related either through constant discomfort or chemicals, assuming it exists.

You know what? He probably doesn't have great mental health to be into beating women up & to act like it's normal. BUT THAT'S TRUE FOR A LOT OF CRIMINALS! I hate this falsehood that is used to excuse criminal behavior that one is either culpable or mentally ill. People can can be both. Mental illness has to rise to a…

I think you know you need to fight your instincts in this one, you acknowledge as much in the parentheticals, but you really should. This was amazing. The first time I've ever been moved emotionally by a late-show musical act. And yes, it plays right into my downtown theater tastes, but I really think it works beyond…

Which one?

I found a legit way to say "groom made first move on bride when they were sitting by the catwalk at a trashy strip club because it was the only place open to drink past 1am on a Sunday. Bride refused because her fuck buddy arrangement with his friend had just ended and she didn't want to feel slutty.

I have rosacea too and I have found that kiehl's ultra products (their basic ones) work really well for me.

But nurses are taught at school, and it is highly reinforced, that they are in a helper role, they administer the decisions of others, namely physicians. I don't mean to downplay their wealth of medical knowledge, but probably every day they follow orders that aren't exactly what their medical judgement would tell…

You can not spread ebola if you are not symptomatic. If she was taking her temperature, she was taking necessary precautions. Maybe the cdc should not have given her the ok to fly with a low grade fever, but she was not in the very infectious stage, ebola is mostly spread when the patient is vomiting & having…

Yes they have consultants but that doesnt mean they get the medicine right - it's not the priority of the show, and it shouldn't be. They want a good drama that sounds right enough to lay people. The consultants may have other aims, but they do not have control, and I'm sure the shows tow the line about public…
