Federal level renumeration: I want the country repaid for the forty irresponsible votes to retract the ACA in the House of Representatives. I am not going to ask where the Texas GOP stands on that issue, because I already know. But... Davis should pay up for one day of filibuster, yet the House of Reps for the entire c…

Up to five users, that is cool. Beyond five, they get aggravated. My husband and I had to live in separate states for half the year, and we shared one account.

I have Celiac. I bring my own food and inform them of it, as well as my food allergy. They never give me any problem, likely because I am less likely to go to the hospital as a result of eating my own nums.

I believe he meant your not-so-tech-savvy-neighbor's unsecured wireless network, which may in turn be slowed because of your activity, not the Starbucks wifi. At least that was the drift I caught.
I use public access wifi all the time, but stay off of the neighbor's signal (and secured my own so that they kindly stay…

It hurts Costco, which is why they already implemented a 2-year limit, and are likely dropping it to one-year. It was meant to allow customers to deal directly with Costco instead of fighting with manufacturers for warranty coverage when something was actually wrong with the product, but people took advantage of it…

$2.75 for a 20 oz bottle in New Orleans.

None, the answer is none.
You may be nice if you chose to, and you see fit, but you do not have to be nice to anyone who has made an advance on you, ever. Women are always told to be nice, to err on the side of polite and meek. I am all for being polite in general conversation, but when it comes to letting a man know…

It's actually more insulting than their attempts to restrict our rights. They obviously think that we are not intellectually capable of using those rights without someone lording over us. (As I sit in Texas, which Wisconsin only wishes it could emulate right now. Tampons are a weapon, yo.)

Back at the place where you seem to think we diverged, you will find my point. I suppose I failed to eloquently make it, since it was so easily missed.
I understand the rhetoric.
The insulting part is that they think that women are not intelligent enough to notice it, because they are saying things like "protecting"…

I know, but it is insulting that they think that by saying "protecting women", we will all just smile and applaud. It's like they think we won't get it because they used big words.

But they can't at least try to cover it better? Or also pass other "woman protection" measures like guaranteed access to prenatal care and maternity leave?
I understand why they do it, but I wish they would try harder. Act like we are smart enough to see it, you know?

Why do all of these states feel that it is medically important to have all of these qualifications as an abortion provider because of everything that could potentially go awry... but then they do not feel that strengthening prenatal and post-operative/postnatal care for poor mothers and babies is important?
Where is…

There are at least two farmer that breed these outside of West Monroe, Louisiana. They are the most adorable thing ever when you see them in person. Also, they are short and very friendly, unlike their gigantic, aggressive donkey parent.
Best large farm animal, by far.

That's cute and all, but where are the articles about Wendy Davis possibly being fined to pay for the special session that she filibustered? Or the fact that Janet Yellen might actually be appointed to the Federal Reserve chair, a historic accomplishment for women? Zonkeys are great- sandwich them between awesome…

Probably around the time Napster started charging and then happily wagged its tail as the individuals who had downloaded music using Napster were sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Metallica will never sell out as hard as Parker.

My mom had a very close friend (some type cousin, actually) as a teen who was abducted and murdered. She doesn't really talk about it, but it was a small farming town. It's something that no one talks about when you go back, no one will talk if you bring it up. I always feel for them, and wonder what it must have been…

I can't imagine what it feels like to the millions of other parents whose children have gone missing, and have been missing for many years. Do they give up hope, like the police force likely has? Do they keep searching, hoping their child is out there, having been taken but somehow given a chance at a normal life with…

Guess the Latin professor I had was wrong, then. Funny, though, what I found in my admittedly very brief Google session a moment ago is that the language originated from Germanic language as Old English but appears to retain only basic structure, with modern English pulling more of its pronunciation and lexicon from…

She grew up in Japan, and her goal was to get us ready for Japanese level 3. Level 1 was on campus every semester, Level 2 was every 3rd semester, and Level 3 was in Japan at a Japanese university, so long and thanks for all the fish.
I did much better with reading the words from Japanese once I knew the…

NO. "The American Way" is hella bad. First you would need to get even adjacent states to agree to a single pronunciation of most words, and that is a hilarious endeavor. See other comments on this article for proof.
