I've been waiting for months for the opportunity to leave this somewhere.

My mom once gave some information she was told pertained to being called to jury duty. Then, she was told by a friend that they'd gotten the same call, and that it was a scam. So she freaked out, did some research, made a bunch of phone calls....aaaaaaand it turned out it really was jury duty. Which is not really…

My parents are by far the most liberal, tolerant people in our community, and I actually faced some bullying in school because we didn't go to church and voted Democrat. But that's where our family's farm was, and it would have been prohibitively expensive for us to pick up and buy an organic farm elsewhere. Also,…

Well, for fresh chicken the first night, and then chicken enchiladas the second night, or possibly this poppyseed chicken casserole which is the most delicious thing ever. I usually add some wilted kale or blanched broccoli to it, since my cooking mantra is "always add another vegetable". I know some people are not…

I thought that's what I said? Ripped off for, not ripped off from?

Just plain stowing stuff in your bra only works if you have a certain kind of boobs. If they're small and firm, they're not going to hold anything larger or heavier than a driver's license. Therefore a bra or shirt with boob pockets would be super helpful for those of us whose cups don't runneth over. Just sayin'.

Just this scene? I thought the whole film was ripped off for a Catherine Zeta Jones movie.

I love food, and I love cooking, but I'm pretty sure that if I worked as a chef in a commercial kitchen I would be driven to pull this type of stunt as well. This is just based on the levels of rage I can attain when I am trying to get dinner on the table and there are PEOPLE in my damn KITCHEN. It's gotten to the…

Thanks! I've been up here for a few years now. Christy Clark aside, it's lovely! I'm hoping to stay.

I mean, I'm not a Canadian citizen yet. But the accent is pretty firmly in place now, ha.

I was taken aback by the not tipping in coins thing until I remembered that in America we don't use $1 and $2 coins. Clearly the assimilation process is now complete.

I was going to say. I went to enough high school parties in fields to assume that that's just what farm kids (and town kids who are friends with farm kids) do on weekends.

Has anyone else mentioned the Checkmate Caesar yet? Because someone should mention the Checkmate Caesar.

...What I don't understand is, if this person hates everyone, why is he on OkCupid at all?

Looks like nobody's recommended Broadchurch yet, so I guess it's up to me. Really engaging story and characters, plus (bonus) David Tennant. There's an upcoming US version called Gracepoint that also stars David Tennant, which will hopefully be as good.

Tragicomically, the ban seems to mostly be against wearing headdresses associated with plains tribes. They're certainly present in Canada, but they're pretty different from the tribes that actually live in BC. And yet I don't see anybody ripping off spruce hats or button blankets, which kinda points out the sheer…

My fave is the day after one of the three times they had sex, where she says, "I still feel tender from last time." If he's complaining that she didn't put out when it sounds like it would have been unpleasant and possibly painful for her to do so...probably he's not the most considerate partner. If my choices were…

Exactly! Like all those white people in the Kansas legislature right now. Sigh.

Bless him. I was terrified of it when I was little, and have refused to watch it since. As in, I'm pretty sure I would still refuse to watch it now. Same with ET.

Yeah; the responsible thing for him to do would have been to break up with her completely, rather than string her along like this.

There are certainly people out there who just are not monogamous, which is fine. It's when they date monogamous people that there are problems. And it's very, very hard to go from a…
