Yeah, that’s how I feel. I like the variation. I like to hear people’s natural accents—assuming they aren’t so different from mine or unfamiliar that I struggle to understand them.

Fuuuuuck.

Whenever there’s some generalized reply about “oh you know, Mississippi,” I’m going to think of this fabulous lady #notallmississippi

Yeah, I agree. However, I felt that the framing of the article was meant to leave the impression that “oh my god, look what dumbass Bieber almost did!” versus “Bieber made what is, in my opinion, a good decision.”

You’re right. I should have said either:

1. Young person is offered lots of money for doing a job that he does for money.

When I was little, I remember thinking it was beyond ridiculous that my dad said there was a time - before Kennedy - when people said a Catholic would never be president of the US. (It was extra-weird because we’re Canadian, so Catholics have never really had the outsider status here.)

Good luck!! I think the triggers may be pretty individual, so you may have to do some food journalling to figure out your specific issues. I’ve had an attack following a roast veggie panini, and at the time I wondered if it was of the amount of the (delicious, delicious) olive oil soaked up by the veggies or that in…

Here’s my magic recipe for avoiding gastritis attacks.

WHAT! I had to look it up because I did not believe you. Wow. Maybe she’s going against the Hollywood grain and upping her age??

Whoa. Why all the hate?

You forgot “your boyfriend.” That’s the one that gets me every time because it’s never my boyfriend or even fantasy boyfriend. Tom Hiddleston? Benedict Cumberbatch? Give me a break...
