This is a great idea in theory. However, everyone thinks their homemade ceramic bunny dish is clever, creative, engaging, and fun, or something they just know the bride/groom will totally love.

The flannel, and his interactions with Kira. A hot man who is good with kids... yes please.

I cannot work out without headphones. I cannot stand the fucking inane bro chatter that's going on in my gym most of the time.

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING?????????

for #8, there was that episode in season one (Emancipation) where Sam was kidnapped by the Mongol-esque tribe (such a terrible episode) and had to duel the guy for her freedom with just a knife. She won, of course. But still, horrible episode.

That really is the very best one.

Well, you have to take into account that thrift stores/goodwill/etc do not have unlimited amounts of space. If they still have a ton of old TVs and no one is buying them, they just have those TVs there taking up space. They won't take things that they don't think they have a reasonable chance to move in a reasonable…

Related to #2 - "No" is a complete sentence. Don't feel like you have to justify any reasons for anything to anyone. And don't apologize for saying no ("Oh, I'm so sorry, but I can't.") An agreeable, pleasant tone is enough. Say yes to the things that matter and say no to the rest.

As my dissertation advisor tells me constantly: It doesn't have to be great. It just has to be finished.

I got my masters while I was teaching public school and for most of that time I was a part-time student, but that last semester I wanted to get it over and done so I went full-time. It was so. Fucking. Hard.

Do not go for a graduate degree without funding. Especially a PhD. Funding varies wildly by school, so do some research. I still needed some student loans on top of my funding (I had tuition waiver, health insurance, and a very small stipend), but not nearly as much as if I had to pay for the whole thing myself.

My pills sit right beside my toothbrush and contact lens solution, things I use every night. I don't care that they sit out in the open, (oh no what if someone sees my whore pills?????) I can remember them. I guess it might be more difficult if a teenager is hiding her pill use from her family/keeping them out of…

Everything I learned about MWI I learned from Stargate! Mostly from Sam Carter. Heh.

The "be well" thing annoys me. I am well, thanks, I'm just picking up my whore pills, aka birth control.

I used to be a teacher. Coming into contact with 500+ germy children a week (I taught everyone in the school) means you get sick a lot the first couple of years and then you're immune to nearly everything they can throw at you. My immune system is like iron, lol.

I would never accept a used car seat unless it was from a relative I trust absolutely. You have no idea if it has been in a wreck or not, and car seats are supposed to be replaced after an accident. Using a car seat that has already been in a car crash, even if it looks fine, could kill a child if it doesn't hold up…

Also, those "elderly" elephants are the ones with the most knowledge and they pass this knowledge on to the younger ones. But yeah, let's shoot the leaders of the herd. Makes great sense.

Free anything in the US? ahhaahha. You have to PAY for that shit, and a hospital would be a zillion times more expensive than a clinic setting.

I save teh tissue paper also! I... have a little file of it, sorted by color.
