Well actually, in this case, it contained zero information about what I'd done the night before. I was taking some on an overseas vacation in case I had b.c. failure while I was away. But that's neither here nor there, really—when I say that it was "thoughtful I guess," I understand that's probably what motivated her.…

The last time I bought it, the pharmacist said "do you want me to double-bag this for you?" Which was thoughtful I guess, but the implication was of course that I would be ashamed to be seen buying it.

Apparently Katie Lee first met Billy Joel in a hotel bar, which has to be the most fruitful hotel bar stop-off in the history of drinking.

Cranberry pills (no sugar, unlike juice) and peeing immediately after sex.

That was my thought—"oh look, he just completed the abusive-partner Bingo card!" It's like he's reading right from the playbook. What slime.

I know. This blew my mind. Particularly: "...unabashedly breastfeeding in plain sight ...like it was no big deal." It IS no big deal. It is the VERY DEFINITION of "no big deal." I mean, even if you happen to be someone who turns up your nose at public nursing, I don't see how you could possibly argue that it's…

So, we're talking about Carl Weathers, yes?

Somewhat beside the point, but I followed the link to their site and took at peek at the menu—the first six appetizers are a variety of hummuses and dips, under which there's a little note: "None of the above mentioned items come with bread."

WTF is this guy's specialty that he offers cosmetic injectables *and* LASEK?? And who in the world would consider extraordinarily high patient volume an ASSET in a surgeon??

I just store the cans/containers of old oil in my freezer until they fill up. They harden faster and are easier to throw away (and then many oils are of course liquid at room temp, but I assume those are also not great to pour down the drain, so freezing helps there, too), and then you can avoid pretty much any smell…

I'm still stuck on that thing she said about worrying that she wasn't beautiful enough for him. I mean, that's a fucked-up sentiment no matter what the speaker looks like, but in what way does she think it's possible to be more beautiful? What is her perception of her own physical appearance?

Ha!

"Carl Drogo" is the best. I think he might have taught pre-algebra at my junior high.

Special recognition to the closed-captioner who spelled "kneel" as "neal." Neal before the king.

Yup, I know you feel that way, because I responded to you separately on your other post on the matter, but I still don't agree with you. There are a lot of steps that do focus on the higher power stuff, but in all cases, a vague/secular/self-defined version of the "higher power" is easily (and regularly!) substituted…

I hate that foot in the background. Cover yourself, foot.

If AA encouraged Bill W.-worship, I might agree with you, but it really doesn't. He started a program that has been really effective for a lot of people, but I've never known anyone in AA to get fazed if a fellow member happens to note that Bill W. was kind of a weird guy with any number of issues, whose frequently…

AA is most definitely not for everyone, but any time I hear the higher-power thing invoked to explain why AA is no good, it sounds to me like an excuse for not being ready to get sober. AA has so many millions of people involved who believe in so many different things, and the tenets at this point are so incredibly…

They did not spend 22 days going on day trips. If I read this correctly, they went on one day trip, and surely on a weekend or holiday. They spent the majority of the 22 days hearing the case—it's not like jury duty is a trial-long nap followed by a few hours of actual work. You and I might not like the verdict, but…

Beg pardon? Six people x 22 nights at $33,000 means $250 per person per day on hotel bill and whatever per diem they're allowed for standard meals, which is not so far beyond what I would have expected. Which part of this is meant to scandalize me? I've just been called for jury duty, and you'd best believe I'm…
