exactly my thought. As if it weren't all horrible enough, it's also coming out on Valentine's. How far is 9 months from Valentine's? I'm thinking the hospitals might want to get prepped for a boom.

yes, but only because its wedding planning and that usually takes months and years to plan. Especially if you're traditional and want the full, big, huge gala affair.

Very very incredibly sadly, this is not NEARLY as rare as we would like to think it is. It actually ends up looking much like the Catholic church's coverups over the years. A missionary in X country is accused or caught doing something, and instead of prosecuting him, firing him, or even just sending him home, they…

he believes in a hell. Is that sufficient enough?

I saw the newspaper article about this says he is being charged with traveling to solicit/perform illicit acts or something. I'm thinking that's how he's in US and not Kenya. Plus, for him to be charged in Kenya he'd have to return and I don't know how our extradition sits with them. And I'm thinking that somehow…

I live in a (comparatively) very small town in the midwest. I've only been "catcalled" a few times, and always by moving vehicles, so I wasn't overly threatened. Well, at least I didn't feel threatened as long as the vehicle kept moving in the direction it was originally moving. Anyway. This is what gets me. and…

I'd sign this petition.
;)

i would watch the SHIT out of that interview!

no one held her hand. But Jenny touched her pastor at least twice. yeah, that looks great.

all of them? no. Meghan McCain? Yes. absolutely.

good! I'm glad some states have figured this out! I believe my point remains, if you take out "all" servers. Just about everyone knows whether or not their state includes tips in wages for servers and ought to behave accordingly. That's all I was trying to say.

Where do you live? I've never ever heard of that being like a state law, facility policy yes. But then I've never lived outside the midwest either. Just curious.

The problem is that we want to *think* that a tip should be a reflection of service, HOWEVER, in reality it is part of their wage! All servers get paid like $2.50 an hour or some shit because everyone *assumes* they get a certain amount in tips. Not only are you stiffing someone for perceived bad service, you are…

I ADORE Hyperbole and a Half. The bit about the corn under the fridge is a personal favorite. :)

I can UTTERLY attest to this. First saw my regular MD in October and tried two meds and had vicious nauseated reactions to them both so I gave up for awhile. Then in January I saw the APN at the center my counselor is at and started again. It was totally worth it to make a switch. and my doc is awesome and…

omg, i NEVER thought of that! If I ever get wind of something like this actually happening to someone I know, I may just have to take my chances on an aggravated assault charge.

Have you seen the video, I think I saw it on Upworthy, about how if you change the questions you ask men, you start getting upwards of like 60% having raped someone? Like if you use the circumstances to ask the question, like "have you ever had sex with someone who was black out drunk" or things like that, you get a…

do tell. because if it is one of my Packers I am going to go fecking ballistic.

i honestly think a true jury of your peers might quickly acquit you.

I can understand not wanting to address the school system or even the local authorities, but what baffles and infuriates me, is that no one seems to quite understand the patient confidentiality thing that therapists have. At the absolute bare bones minimum, get some counseling! They are legally prevented from…
