I dunno, I could easily rack up 4 hours a week of reading slashfic on the Tube, although I would not, of course, be enjoying it in the "special way" during this time.

I'd like to think we're not all stuck on a rigid "porn rocks"/"porn sucks!" dichotomy, though. I mean, most people don't have a problem accepting that small amounts of alcohol can modestly enhance relaxation and wellbeing, but large amounts can wreck your life. Any kind of addiction is harmful, and any rewarding…

I think your mother has a spiritual cousin in my mother. I also think it sounds exhausting.

Mine was a string of numbers and letters "@compuserve.com", circa 1995. I am also old.

Ahhhh mahhhh gahhhhd, the AOL "private chatroom" cybersex. And the ethical questions we used to ponder - "is it cheating on your real-life boyfriend if you cyber with some other guy?"

ALAN CUMMING! Thank you for reminding me.

I was amused to see that I'm not the only one that perceives Americans abroad as REALLY LOUD!

Yeah! It's bru-SKETT-a, right? Love me some of those.

For one thing, as soon as people know a baby is male or female, they begin to treat it differently. They hold girl babies more carefully. They overestimate the walking abilities of boys and underestimate their language abilities. They underestimate the walking abilities of girls and overestimate their language…

Although her bra is crushing the life out of them.

Personal take, as Brit/Northern Irisher: American accents are just... accents. They're not particularly attractive, but nor are they hideous. Pretty much everyone in the world has been bombarded with American media; we're thoroughly habituated.

You may not like this one, but - what if you forgot about losing weight? If you're working out, you can focus on getting fitter, stronger, enjoying your body, meeting more challenging goals over time. You'll lose fat and gain muscle, you'll be healthier. Comparatively, what does your weight matter?

I have always considered the Maggie Sottero SaBelle the ugliest wedding dress out there. I mean, the thing weighs a ton and looks it should be featured on "Cake Wrecks".

Aw, thanks. I appreciated your James-Bond-themed username also!

I want to see a TV show entirely of Helena a) dancing, b) responding to being insulted by the other characters. "Do not call me this."

I used to try that with hermit crabs in a bucket, but they would only ever eat each other. Does that actually work?

Also, I really don't want to be confused with this jerk.

Cool. Then I'm glad I'm warned before I shop there!

I don't know if you're taking this into account or not, but UK sizing is larger than US by 1-2 sizes, i.e. a US 6 is a UK 8 or often 10. If you have taken that into account - I guess Boden has really enormous sizes!

Dude, I feel her. Petite (5'2"), very small waist, bigger arse and boobs. NOTHING fits except the stuff I get cut especially for boobs.
