There's how you make your million!

Actually, "fight or flight" has been updated to "fight, flight, or freeze". In a situation of extreme stress, the amygdala signals a person to do one of the three. It sounds like she froze. And actually, the "reflex" is a complicated combination of neurotransmitters, hormones, etc. that can last quite a while. This…

Good band name.

I'm not really sure if there are any condoms that protect against radioactivity. Lead condoms, perhaps?

There are antibiotics to treat the resistant cases. It's not like OMG GONORRHEA ETERNAL, although it is a worrisome public health trend. Now providers are recommending that people diagnosed with gonorrhea return for a test-of-cure, to make sure everything's dead. But people are terrible at going back for another appt,…

Well, it makes sense. Everyone knows only men go to nightclubs. And there's only so much they can hear about periods and how bad men are AMIRIGHTLAYDEEZ!!

Wow. For the price of my graduate school education, I could look like a Barbie doll.

I want him on my side. I don't care what the fight is, who our opponent is, what the issue is, I want him on my side. If it's the zombie apocalypse, I want him next to me cutting off heads. He is so awesome.

Specific body locations or it doesn't count.

I hope she wasn't sexually assaulted. I don't know when she joined the convent or what sexual education is like in El Salvador, but I can see a very naive nun being coerced into sexual activities and honestly having no clue that she was pregnant. (Of course, I can also see a nun having consensual sex, but I would…

We got our first Shiba as a rescue. We were his third home. He was so flipped out he wouldn't let us touch him for a year. (Now he enjoys leaning over my lap while I'm on my laptop, and then flopping down belly-up to get some affection. My laptop is so clogged with dog hair I'm surprised it hasn't exploded.)

Me (sadly): I'll bet they're both gay, too.

I remember my mother calling me after watching it (before I lost however many minutes of my life watching it.) She said, "Well, the Colin Firth story is very strange. It's like they put this woman in the story just so she could take off her clothes near a very cold English pond." Damn right, Mom.

I agree. If this could have been pieces about exes that weren't necessarily so pejorative (and take away the whiny writing), this would be a pretty awesome art exhibit. I love the shoes with the "knuckles"- and it could just as easily be about a woman who fought hard in the business world.

He didn't explain why he used the phrase "tight, resisting flesh that tore and bled" for every goddamn rape in every goddamn novel. Yes, I read them all in junior high. The first time I read it, I winced. By the fourth, I was thinking, "Really? Again?"

Well, who knows? Maybe the Jezebel writers are going to get together & cook and eat her liver, and then have a headline that says "YOUR BFF JENNIFER LAWRENCE WAS DELICIOUS".

Yes, but as far as I understand what's going on, saying "she's my BFF" in this context is more saying "She seems like a wonderful person who I would want to be friends with, based on what I have seen of her in interviews, and also in admiration of her acting skill as evidenced by movies like 'Winter's Bone'. In fact,…

Don't you boys think it's a touch, oh, I dont know, insane (at worst) or sad and embarrassing (at best) to constantly yap about some sports team that you're not playing on who play some game you don't play and how great it is?

She was probably that popular girl in middle school who somehow managed to still retain being a basically good person, and when the others made fun of you or shoved you into walls, she'd smile at you as she walked down the hallway, and say something nice to you in the cafeteria line. (snif) So much love.
