Gaaaahhhhh that would drive me INSANE.

As a Laura, I will say that the only people who ever pronounce my name “Lara” are from the Mid-Atlantic, specifically Maryland in my limited experience. Everyone else, including Brits, pronounces it “Lore-uh”, not “Lah-ra”.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. They’ve poured unfathomable amounts of money into the Tea Party, into climate change denial, into opposing environmental legislation, into opposing the ACA. They’ve intentionally fostered the social climate of suspicion, greed, fear, and hate that leads people to vote for Koch-approved…

This is a MUCH better way to handle Kim Davis. And life in general.

If the Purge were a real thing, I would have a laminated list, and the first name on that list would be Wayne LaPierre. The remaining four spots would be a tough choice between the Koch brothers, Roger Ailes, Rick Snyder, Trump, Cruz...hell, the majority of the GOP at this point. Martin Shkreli would be an alternate.

Yesterday at work, a (white) coworker challenged me when I said that racism in this country has become more overt in the last decade. Am I imagining it? Are we just more aware than we were in the early 2000s? It feels so much worse. If anyone has stats to back me up (or contradict me, I can be open-minded if I’m…

This dino-dragon is the best. I want to eat pizza with him and take a food-coma-nap immediately after.

HIMS LIDDLE EARS!!!!!

Yep to prep! I’m pretty comfortable in L, less so in dolphin and forearm plank just because I get tired. Standing splits I can do all damn day.

“Cosplaying animals” is a google search I didn’t know I needed in my life until now.

Those two are IMPOSSIBLY handsome. They look like they are living their best life! I want to be all up in that hug.

Thanks! I’ve been doing it for 2 years and I’m still on “start with tripod headstand,” which is the frustrating part. I can’t get myself mentally around the fear of falling on my head/neck/breakable bits. But you’re right: it’s the fear. Crow is also my nemesis, but I’ve been working on that. I put a block on the…

Wow, I am impressed with P90X. I only ever hear of people attempting it and at some point collapsing in despair/storming off in a rage. It might be just what I need, though - I’m trying to get in better shape and half-assing it hasn’t been working. Thanks for the advice!

Oooh I will check these out. Thank you!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Likewise! And a big “ugh” to the combination of heartburn and cramps. As if one of those wasn’t enough!

Holy crap, hadn’t considered Belladonna! I’ll look into Bentyl. I’ve been nauseated lately as well, so I’ll consider anything. Like you said, cramps are their own misery, they do not need the company of digestive issues.

I have chronic respiratory stuff, so I sympathize immensely. Bronchitis is a motherfucker.

Former Kaplan tutor here! Look up the instructions for your test center and familiarize yourself with the routine on the day of the test. There can be a lot of surprises - forms to fill out, things you can/can’t have with you in the room, or even in the building, parking, bathroom breaks, etc. Get all that locked down…

I am in much the same boat. About every 2 hours I muster the energy to eat a single raspberry Ghirardelli square (worst/best impulse purchase of the week), then crawl back into bed where I am watching The Flash and burping.
