If a mature married mother is treated like that, I hate to think how they would treat a young woman. I just don't get it - pharmacies do not act that way when people buy condoms. Why is there such blow back against emergency contraception?

A friend of mine, who is in her 40s and married, was also given the run around at two pharmacies and then given the stink eye at the pharmacy that finally gave her Plan B. She had her pre-schoolers with her. I do NOT know why pharmacies are so shitty.

Does the dad take the ring away if she is raped?

Yeah - I am with you there. The only thing that will make Skye seem "right" is if the backstory is REALLY good when it comes out, and for some reason Coulson has a tie to her that makes it reasonable that she is even allowed to be there. Maybe Coulson will turn out to be her dad, or was in love with her mom or . .…

I have young impressionable children . . . and I still think this is funny.

Yeah, people call me that too.

Because of stories/ posts like this, I now ask people (if I am getting to know them) where they grew up, instead of asking where they are from. For me, if I ask a question it is because I would like to get to know someone better. Where I live, EVERYONE is from somewhere else so it is a common question. I did not…

Extreme photo-shopping makes a beautiful person just look like a "generic human". Real people are more interesting - but I guess they may distract from the product being sold.

After I took I took it the first time, and realized that what I was experiencing was the way everyone else experienced the world I just cried. So many things made sense to me for the first time - and I had been a grown up for many years at that point.

Even worse than evolution-deniers are gravity-deniers. They just keep floating up into the air, even though I tell them "Gravity is the Law!"

AND - I think you have a really good premise for a YA novel - just change the name of the drug to "crunkey" or something. You should totally pitch that!

Three therapists suggested that I had ADD. I completely dismissed the first two. The third one convinced me to take an ADD evaluation home to fill out. I lost it. Then she gave me another one, and I filled it out but forgot to bring it to my next appointment. She tried again, and I left it in her office. Next…

Yeah. I was just remembering that it was the mess last year that made me move my son to a Jewish preschool. They were doing all Christmas in his public pre-school and the teacher asked the kids what the name of their Elf on the Shelf was. Just . . . no

Yeah. I do the same thing. I was an anthropology major so I can go on for a LONG time about the Pagan origins of "Christmas". Surprisingly, people are rarely that interested in hearing about it. So then I start talking to them about securities regulations and the tax code.

The craziest thing about the "war on Christmas" is that "Christmas" is not even a Christian holiday - it is NOT in the Bible. Early Christians - and the Puritans - did not celebrate "Christmas". Nobody know for sure when Jesus was born, but it was likely in the spring.

We all subsidize the Catholic Church with our tax dollars. They do not pay taxes, and their donors get tax deductions (resulting in the rest of us paying higher taxes to offset the deductions they receive). The Catholic church enjoys the protection of police and fire department, usually have access to city water &…

A theory: X is inversely proportional to Y

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

I keep saying - he is a cyborg! He has to be a cyborg! If he is NOT a cyborg, then yeah - you are totally right.

Yes. There HAS to be a good backstory on Skye - or else it makes no sense for her to be there (she sold them out a couple of times, yet they keep her??). I think Melinda May has the most potential for being a really interesting character. I also think Coulson is a Cyborg - if not, he REALLY needs some acting…
