My mom has read a couple of her other books, she's a great science writer for lay people. She does a good job of bringing humor and levity to the subject! I laughed a lot and learned quite a bit too.

After seeing Drake on SNL, I agree with you. He knows how to make fun of himself and seems to be fairly self aware.

I'm not in the scientific field but I did read Mary Roach's book Bonk: the curious coupling of science and sex. From the research that she conducted, the female orgasm (and particularly vaginal) is still very much a mystery in the scientific community. They don't know why some women struggle to ever orgasm while…

Huh. Who would have thought middle of nowhere Iowa would be a test market. The chicken is well seasoned and they put frito chips INSIDE the sandwich. Mind blown.

I eat at subway fairly often because I live in a small town with very few options for a quick meal. I tried the chicken enchilada sandwich last week and damn if it wasn't delicious! MOAR FRITOS PLEASE!!

In my high school chemistry class my teacher gave the students a sheet similar to this to freak us all out and then blow our minds when she told us it was water. She was a good teacher.

Thank you for this!! And that Jessica Day gif is perfect.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips is my favorite romance author. She writes contemporary but a lot of her good stuff was published in the 80s and 90s.

That class sounds amazing! I've been reading romance novels since I was 15 (I'm in my late 20s now) and have gone through hundreds of them and that is the CRAZIEST book plot I've ever heard. Hell, they don't even do it doggy style in 95% of the books I've read. Off to find my kindle...

I once accidentally started reading a Christian romance and was SOOOOO disappointed when I figured out what it was because I didn't have it in me to finish the book. They need to put a Jesus fish on those covers or something...BUT! I hope things work out for your friend. Different strokes and all that.

I love everything ever written by Susan Elizabeth Phillps. Most of her books were written in the 80s and 90s but she's still writing today. And the old stuff is some of her best work. My favorite romance novel of all time is written by her, it's Nobody's baby but mine.

That uh....that would probably turn me off of drinking smoothies for a while.

I have an imagine of an old man with those huge untamed eyebrows wandering around in the dark like "I got this guys, my eyebrows will show me the way"

The answer has more to do with socioeconomic status. The women that are having children young while not being married are generally in a lower income bracket. They aren't waiting for their careers to take off before they can afford to get married or have children because their careers are likely to remain low wage.…

My crockpot favorites are roasts, pork loin (which we shred after cooking) and chili for main dishes. But some of my favorite foods in slow cookers are dips! Queso cheese dips! Spinach and artichoke dips! Chicken enchilada dip! Pizza dip! The slow cooking process is perfect for letting the flavors meld and they stay…

If there is ANY small chance that you'll ever take a crockpot full of food somewhere (like to a party or potluck) I STRONGLY urge you to buy a slow cooker with a lid that has clamps. This is coming from a slow-cooking pro that recently spent 2 hours cleaning spinach soup out from under the back seat in my car. You…

I don't see hanging out as sad or a negative. The lack of 'real' dating doesn't mean all guys can or do use women for sex without worrying about commitment. Sure some people might do that but to make a blanket assumption that men will use "hanging out" as a free pass for sex without the effort of dating is unfair.…

Relationships don't necessarily require dating to begin though. My husband and I were friends in college and hung out all the time until we finally realized we both wanted something more. So by the time we went on 'real' dates we were already in a relationship. A date isn't a prerequisite. I will say we got lucky that…

I've gone to 5-6 dentists and countless hygienists (due to moving to new areas) and some dentists and hygienists have been really great! But others speak to me with what I can only describe as annoyed judgement. Like I must be trying to get cavities. The fact is I was born with some kind of weird body chemistry/bad…

Yes, this should be the focus. In my small town in a flyover state high school the only AP course that was offered was AP English. I also took some local college classes but there just aren't a lot of AP options available in most rural communities.
