I was thinking the opposite -- that if someone [with large breasts in the example in my mind] could claps from the back, then their band is too loose in order to stretch it enough to maneuver the hooks.  I can hook around my waist and need less give in my band, than if I were to be pulling the band with both hands…

I’ve actually moved on from Team Blue to a higher plane -- Team Front-Hook-Bras-Only due to frozen shoulder.  But when I didn’t have such mobility issues, you can bet it was still hook in the front.  Just now I’m too cool (we’ll call it cool instead of hobbled) to swirl around after hooking.

Like, how does one even red?  I could not.

My heart just crashed. We will need brave providers to step up and fill the void. Disappointment is not a word that does adequate justice to what I am feeling right now. My heart goes out to Ms. Russell and his other victims.

I’ve only seen the first two episodes, and I already think it’s great.  When I read the above about episode 4, I get excited to think it gets even better.  Because I’m already so in love. 

In the late 70's/early 80's, families in my neighborhood made 3 trips to the ER in the span of about 2 weeks thanks to Jarts.  My own younger brother has what looks to be a dimple in his chin from where the hole was stitched up.

That was my first thought, too, but then I came around. If gifts are optional, I wouldn’t want the guests who didn’t bring a gift to feel bad or embarrassed. In such circumstances, it’s definitely better to not include the opening of gifts in the planned activities.

Hence some people’s excitement over Beto.  Because it sure can’t be based on policy.

Actual progressives understand how not progressive Beto is. Beto is the candidate for the centrists who would vote for a republican if the GOP wasn’t so gross.  And also for those avoiding to vote for a woman.

I apparently missed the scene when Zoe drank from his bottle.  I had just assumed that she knew from smelling it when they hugged before he left.

These privileged a-holes won’t be prosecuted, as it was their parents’ crime, and will eventually emerge relatively unscathed (though openly mocked, but even OJ will keep her fans and eventually get even more sponsors). But dreamers brought over the border when infants? — the worst kind of criminal, ya know.

I have at least 6 electric kettles in my lists, and frequently search and contemplate them all again and again. I can’t commit to any, because the one I’d want the most, a Kitchenaid in pistachio to match my mixer, doesn’t have temp control.

Sounds like a person I followed on Twitter.  Generally their tweets are things I agree with, then one day recently they followed up a post about believing women with a post about how Cosby was railroaded.  They insisted that the 50+ women were all liars and it was a grand conspiracy.  So much for believing survivors. …

I won’t be comfortable being a fan again. But I don’t think the FBI investigation is going to find nothing. The only thing they could find at this point might be that the underage accuser wasn’t actually underage at the time. Because there is a trove of texts and other evidence. There seems to be no doubt that this…

Going rogue, how so? Most of them already are bought and paid for by their corporate donors. Are they going to be less transparent about that, switch parties to the GOP?  (In which case let them have ‘em, and let their constituents take care of them next election.) Or do you mean they are going to drop the…

What about what he said about Clinton was wrong, though? Corporatist? Check. Supported war in Iraq? Check. On her worst day she’d be a better president than Trump? Check. (He said a lot of good things, too.) He focused on policy, and things he said about Clinton weren’t false. I voted for Clinton in the 2008 primary…

Indeed he did.  I can’t stand this narrative that he bailed/had a tantrum when he didn’t get the nom.  It’s simply not true.

That is maybe the stupidest argument I’ve heard. It’s totally backwards. Ketosis in and of itself does not mean anyone is starving in the actual sense of not consuming enough food for long term survival. Being in Ketosis is not the same as starvation.  One’s body will go into ketosis when they are actually starving…

Oooh, agreed!

An actual keto diet is not “practically pure fat”, but one where approximately 60-70% of one’s calories come from fat. 25-30%ish protein, and limited carbs (20 grams is generally stated as the limit because it ensure you will be in ketosis in a few days and stay there, but some people can eat more than 20 grams and…
