What is this dismiss button I'm hearing so much about? Is it an "authors" thing or am I not aware of it because I'm still relegated to the grays.

YES. This.

I admit that I did at first. But I still <3 you and your oddly mesmerizing avatar.

OMG. I guess "right to life" does not equal "respect for life" because that's just disturbing.

Is that... Is that real? I can't tell what's legit and what's parody any more.

Ack! My heart. It breaks.

I LOVE reading all the night owls. Reminds me that I'm not alone. :) I've always said that the world is biased toward extroverted morning people. As an introverted night owl, I always feel like I'm out of sync with the rest of the world. Just going through and <3-ing everything!

So you can give birth at home*, without medical personnel present, no problemo. But you can't have an abortion in a clinic with medical personnel? And this is "protecting women". Sigh

I noticed that after I went to their website. I'd assumed it was the ladies, too. Somehow it makes it more awesome.

Eh, I still occasionally dress like a slut regardless of my size. I just focus less on the tight and more on the low-cut. ;)

I love it! You could totally work that. You could even make up an epic story about battling a shark for your life. Point at the scar and go, "I punched a shark for these."

Yeah, I still haven't gotten my dad to understand why talking in front of a group of people while giving a speech or a presentation or something is easier for me than asking me to make casual small talk in that same group. They're two different things for me. I'm introverted, not shy. It's an amazingly hard concept…

That's an excellent point. I never thought of it like that, but it's so true.

Agh! I want! Enough to contemplate taking my size 18/20 ass out in public in Alaska just to show it off!

Amen to that. I don't like it when "shy" and "introvert" are swapped interchangeably. Totally not the same thing! There are shy extroverts and outgoing introverts. And telling introverts to be the exact opposite of what they are to make friends is not helpful. It's like telling vegetarians who wants to increase the…

That sounds like the start of an awesome movie.

Apparently by going hiking, attending live music events, watching independent films, and developing an interest in craft beer.

Thank you! I'm in a similar situation. I recently moved to a much smaller town, (which makes it harder!), and I'm having trouble finding friends. I'm friendly with my coworkers, but it's a small company. One invited me to a couple of gatherings with her friends, but the group dynamic and the sense that I didn't have…

True, but usually I can find something that holds my curiosity long enough for another episode or two. I did like some of the other characters, but I made the same assumption that it looks like other folks did about it being all about the MC. And I found her rather dull, even with the past relationship with a drug…

Okay. It took me a few episodes to get into Doctor Who, and I'm not a fanatic for it. So y'all have convinced me. I shall attempt episode 2.
