Really? Yeah, because dogs aren’t emotional or social creatures who form bonds with humans or anything like that.

I say that as a joke (I don’t know her IQ), but she is pretty dense.

Even Catholics threw that one out a while back because the concept is so stupid.

That’s a good point. Although Shepherd has an IQ around 70, so it’s believable that she was misled and not fully informed of the consequences.

Funny, because I was inspecting a townhome complex yesterday and the site manager said she didn’t understand why the place has such a strange design. I told her, “It was the 70’s.” The disease not only infected fashion, it also spread to architecture.

LOLOL...this one is even better!

God, I remember my mom having something resembling that monstrosity on the left.

Yeah, WTF? I didn’t realize it was A-OK to get rid of a puppy because they’re equal to sweaters. That’s messed up.

Yeah, that was might first thought—this woman is an total moron who could easily fall for something like this. On the other hand, you’d think that she would have a decent lawyer or five.

Did she?

It also has a lot of contrast, which works well if you’re standing in front of a green screen. If it’s cheaply made, it doesn’t matter too much for TV because viewers can’t see the fabric or stitching up close. Plus, you need some turnover in your outfits so it doesn’t make sense to spend a lot.

I think the idea is that, for TV, the black panels on the side are slimming and female meteorologists/anchors are under a lot of pressure to be thin, or at least fit. I used to watch my meteorologist friend on TV and she did look bigger on the screen than in person. She was given crap about her weight by her station…

My friend was a meteorologist for a long time and the stories she would tell...you’d be amazed. Of course, half of the mail/email was from perverts. The other half consisted of fans/kids and a ton of crazy people with way too much time on their hands complaining about her hair or clothing. Some people were just flat…

I have friends and family who are conservative, yet still smart and pleasant to be around. Of course all conservatives aren’t all jerks. They still fulfill some of the stereotypes though. We generalize because we’re human and we wouldn’t survive otherwise. No person is completely free of prejudice and stereotypes…

Just goes to show that you have to take advantage of information on the internet (a blessing and a curse) and ask multiple people lots of questions. It’s not a good idea to swallow something without getting more information first. I’m not saying that doctors and pharmacists aren’t trustworthy, but they are busy and…

To clarify, I don’t make fun of random people or acquaintances for eating small portions very slowly. I make fun of close people (like my husband, close friend, or sister-in-law) who I know for a fact do not have eating disorders and it’s usually for speed, not quantity—they’ll eat the same amount that everyone else…

Well there ya go. Your doctors didn’t catch it either. I take Lamictal. Fortunately, I go to a comprehensive epilepsy clinic with decent neurologists now. Still, I’ve learned to research this stuff myself and ask lots of questions.

True. And not just when we’re around men. I got over that a while ago and now I’ll even make fun of people to their face for eating tiny portions at a snail’s pace. My husband has increased his eating speed over the years in order to keep up with my family. Otherwise, he’d be sitting at the table all by himself like a…

I think our heavy reliance on specialists actually makes it difficult to coordinate all this stuff.

Frankly, the pharmacist would probably be more careful about drug interactions than some doctors. My stupid neurologist (don’t see him anymore because he’s stupid) never bothered to tell me that my BC pill interfered with my seizure pills and vice versa. I researched it on my own and he was like “oh yeah...that…
