I thought it was really smart that the two ostensible stars, Jon and Dani, were pretty flipping useless when it came down to it. Apparently GRRM is very into issues of rule/leadership, so I’d love to see Sansa on the throne with Tyrion as her husband or hand and Arya as a trainer of warriors (maybe along with…

That is...just...wow.

That Invictus games video represented maximum royal adorableness for me. No amount of babies can compete with the queen’s one faux incredulous “Really?” and Harry’s boom.

My message is that he is a terrible lover, since in order to keep up that pace he’d have to be cycling through women. He wasn’t good enough to keep them coming back.

Telling millions of people that I was planning to do something would definitely motivate me as I wouldn’t want to have to admit that I failed. I believe that passing/failing the bar is a matter of public record.

Plus Meryl. I will watch her in anything.

I can’t imagine the cows enjoy it very much either. Those are very big plastic syringes.

My friend’s horse has mastitis right now and she is miserable! And I use Today and Tomorrow (cow mastitis treatment) for my horse’s thrush. There’s a lot to be learned from taking care of animals. Glad you steered your wife in the right direction even if she wasn’t psyched to hear about it at the time.

No, I’ve never had a panic attack. I’m sure I had the usual childhood upset moments and tantrums, but they were not connected to bedtime. At bedtime, my parents spoke to me, I got lots of hugs and kisses, was read to and then put to bed. In other words, there were certainly many lovely bedtime rituals, they just…

Amen, sister.

I don’t have a horse in the race but I also sympathize with the idea that kids need to learn how to self-sooth. But you know, these sorts of philosphical questions are the reason I have only fur-babies.

It’s definitely widely variable anyway. I have friends who are divorcing right now and the wife is a typically waspy American and the husband is first generation from Portugal. They have two kids, 5 and 8. She doesn’t want the kids to come in the husband’s bed at all, ever. He thinks she is cruel not to let them…

Thanks—I just started this! The first thing I noticed is that Keith’s “world-changing” insights and the manipulation techniques referenced are almost exactly what the teach you in Landmark (which I took based on a friend’s recommendation and vowed to never go near again). I haven’t heard anybody mention it yet with…

A few years ago I got a fungal ear infection and now coming into contact with something like this is now one of my greatest fears. Separately a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with asthma but I was convinced I had lung fungus. Point being, for some reason I am a fungal hypchondriac, but apparently also deeply on…

Root canals are not inexpensive and crowns are a lot moreso. So maybe if you think of it as saving $2,500 a year or every other year? Plus I feel like very 5 years or so a crown of my mom’s disintegrates and her tooth falls apart in her mouth, or they have to put a bolt or something into her jaw and I would like to…

YESSSS! Would you like to be on my planning committee?

My island will have separate areas for each (and also horses) with crossover for cats who like barns, dogs who like horses, horses who like both. Also, if I can figure out how be a wombat rescuer, there will be a wombat zone too. It all makes perfect sense to me.

THIS!!! I mean, especially animal prints and bright colors are almost a cliche in my family. It would be weird family event if no one was wearing them.

Also, Saddle River is wealthy town. Median salary is $180,429. This unlikely to cause undue strain on local dog owners.
