Would I be able to see it? If so: yes, if no: no. If something's that awesome and meaningful, I want to be able to see it. I like the big back pieces but I don't know if I would get one. I forget about the tattoo on my upper back, but I love and daily appreciate the one on my forearm.

I have tattoos, I never ask others about theirs (though I might compliment them if the design is really fantastic or unique), and I don't like when other people ask about mine. It's so boring, why do people think they want to know?

I think that day is coming. I'm a tutor at a K-12 private school in the South, and I have a visible forearm piece. (I could cover it, but I compulsively push up my sleeves and also have I mentioned it's frickin hot in the South?) I've never had anything but positive comments from parents, teachers, and students. Even

I have tattoos, including a large forearm piece that is usually visible because I have a habit of pushing up my sleeves. I'd be curious to actually hear some stories of tattoo discrimination because I've never encountered any. I work as a tutor in a K-12 private school with students from 4th-10th grade. I've received

I don't really like talking about my tattoos. I mean, no one really cares but me.

The figure skating and speed skating commentators are the worst. I just want to see the great athletes, not get wrapped up in jingoism. It's fun to root for an American, since I'm American, and it's exciting when they medal, but the blatant pro-American bias just turns my stomach.

Oh, we also decided to do archaeological fieldwork together after dating for less than a month, working in physically demanding circumstances for 10 hours a day and then sharing a hotel room. Hell of a way to get past the honeymoon phase, but it seems to have worked out.

The boring part is that it was both at college and at work, for the archaeology lab on campus.

I keep seeing this story pop up with associated goofy comments (this is why we can't let women into combat!!! etc). I don't get what the problem is. If 45% of women meet the physical requirements, then pass that 45% and fail the rest. Why fuss about dropping the standards? Keep the high standards and only let through

I'm the only me in the US and Canada because I took my husband's last name. My maiden name is very common. One of the reasons why I took his name - I liked the idea of being unique!

I never make resolutions, but perhaps I should make an exception re: internet commenting. It bothers me so much when people go after me, to the point where I spend hours angrily composing retorts in my head and whining about mean people to my husband. I've been trying to stick to just making funny or non-controversial

I'm 7 weeks pregnant, too early to really start telling people. I was tempted to post something on Facebook like "this year I resolve to gain 30 pounds and become way less spontaneous", but I'm paranoid someone will guess what that means so I didn't.

I really like Thoreau. Really, really like it.

haha, Nova is my dog's name. I think it's a pretty good name. For a dog.

I think my issue with names like these is that they don't really sound good when said all together. But getting to tell people "danger is my middle name" might make up for that.

I think it depends on whether the kid is the type to embrace it or be horribly embarrassed. As someone else said, the middle name is the place to go a little nuts!

I'm pregnant now, and Arya and Rohan are on our list of names, so I understand.

An acquaintance gave their kid the middle name 'Adventure'. His first name was pretty normal - I want to say Carson, maybe? I suppose weird middle names aren't too bad.

Yes. Jay-Wow.

I would submit that leg length is a better consideration than overall height. I am 5' 4", my husband is 6'. He has an exceptionally long body, so his legs are only about 2 inches longer than mine. My sister is 5'7" and her legs are longer than his. If someone has a very short body and long legs, they might have issues
