When I was little, the idea of the Ugly American was the tourist who goes to France and demands, in English, to get a hamburger in a restaurant that doesn't serve them. Is the Prius driver with crazy diet restrictions (unnecessarily gluten free, vegan) the new face of the Ugly American?

I feel so badly for anyone who loses a pet, especially after having lost my cat to FIP in November. From my own experience, it was seriously devastating to both myself and my husband, more than either of us imagined. We really wanted to get another cat, but decided to hold off for almost a month. It was super…

I have to agree with yo. My pure breed French Bulldog is from the SPCA. People really can find the breed they want from a rescue or shelter if they look. My experience hasn't been all candy and rainbows either. We adopted a Bassett Hound from the local pound a few years ago. It turned out that he was very ill, and we…

Amen. My family has always had shelter animals, I have shelter cats, and they've all been the best pups and kitters ever.

Exactly what I was thinking!!! Especially in LA where they kill about 20.000 pets per year. The numbers are going down because more and more people are finally adopting from shelters and rescue groups.

What bugs me is that I believe Miley adopted her previous dog (and all her others) from rescues. She's apparently a decent decision maker, at least in regards to dogs. Too bad the same can't be said of her mother.

This is such a happy pic, hope it makes you smile.

Well, I used to have a major love affair with shoes. Used to hide them from them my husband in the huge ass trunk of my car. My company had a factory in Tecate Mexico and one day crossing back to the US I got pulled to secondary.(guessing cause the women with me were drunk of their asses and singing Garth Brooks…

What the hell things is TSwift routinely hiding in her apartment? Any guesses?

She's gorgeous. Happy to see white folks enjoying what us coloreds can take for granted. Case in point: My mom at 56.

Oh man, I am so sorry MsMercury. It's one of the hardest things to deal with. (((hugs))) to you.

We are disgustingly insular. I sometimes think that it's by design, and that the powers-that-be refuse to allow us vacation time so that we don't get to know other cultures (seriously, most Americans do not get vacation time). Then again, you don't need to go other places in order to appreciate them and HOLY SHIT talk…

I wouldn't say infuriated, but I often cringe or roll my eyes if it bothers me. As a Canadian, I've heard we live in igloos and there's constant snow, that we're just another state of the US, we have a president, and someone I know once convinced a bunch of Americans that we use cold fire to keep our igloos from…

As a Canadian, I stopped caring. Like, really bub? Ya ain't got much to talk about. Not when your government shuts down over a hissy fit and you actually, seriously have politicians DEBATING whether women should be granted people-rights (namely, ones pertaining to the right to bodily autonomy).

To no-Americans.

Lol my Mr.Beans. That's pretty clever, though. I do love me some Mr.Bean!

Awww, who's a good boy!

Haha I love this! Especially since I started my period at my first day of summer camp one year. One of the girls in my tent was like "Oh, I got this." handed me a tampon, a bottle of tylenol and a candy bar.

Man, I would have loved to see positive stuff like this about periods as a young woman. I was sooooo ashamed/embarrassed about it, this would have been life changing. I love it.
