Graft vs host disease once the graft completely gains control of the host. It’s a harrowing disease that deserves more recognition. Some prominent family somewhere should take up the cause and throw a fundraiser!

I mean it’s racy for PBS but HBO/Showtime has spoiled me: f tasteful, to hell with “suggestive”, and no I will not use my imagination! I second Slut Panic: MORE BUTTS!

I love NC’s “going armed to the terror of the public”. Here’s a great quote from one of the earliest sources of case law on this offense, State v. Huntly (1843):

The Paradise is another good PBS show to binge. It too is about a big store but it takes place in the mid to late 1800s.

I go by my name professionally and socially but our son has his name (like literally, he’s a IV). But the daycare people, doctors office people, husbands professional associates etc all call me Mrs. IV. I’ll respond to either. If we have a boy #2 I want to use my last name as his first name.

Yes, the makeup thing! My husband gets so frustrated because every time we leave the house to go out (even to the grocery store) I’m like wait, I gotta put some makeup on. And one day he finally asked me who was I trying to get to pay attention to me with the makeup and I realized it’s not so much that I was trying to…

Yeah it sounds more like a play on “incriminate” not discriminate. I thought they were upset with men being “incriminated” just for being men or something.

Great PSA though. Well... not too great since it clearly did not work (though who’s to say she didn’t pause before she played, she just didn’t get a condom during the pause). But I liked the concept/execution.

That’s the whole problem though IMO. The people setting the policy are so far removed form the actual “flock” that they get all caught up in doctrinal BS and the power struggles of the Catholic hierarchy. In the meantime, the actual rank and file priests (and esp. nuns) have to deal with the reality of the lives of…

It’s 4 o’clock (thank you cotillion).

I know, me too. It looked super familiar.

I don’t really feel strongly either way, frankly I had never even thought about our flag or it’s history until tonight (though there was something more there than I was expecting). I’m frustrated because I’ve always been so proud of NC’s relatively progressive politics and it seems like in the past few years we’re…

This is an old school tactic.

Dude I too am from NC and was like WTF? our flag is pretty generic and I was all with you until some cursory googling. Our current flag was adopted in 1885 and the bill was introduced by former Confederate soldier and then state Adjutant General, Johnston Jones. Let’s compare the 1861 NC flag (adopted right after…

But... “she started it” ?!?

My then 21yo brother made out with not one, not two, but THREE of my friends over the course of my wedding weekend. One from HS, one from college, and one from work: his contention is that it was a stroke of genius on his part to dabble across all the three groups but I think luck and alcohol likely helped quite a…

They are the “good girls”.

By good quality what do you mean? Does it need to be Greek or can I use just plain, organic yoghurt? Is the fat quantity important? Because I can do that, just need to know some specifics!

Thanks! This is my least favorite class to teach :( Shit’s all over the place and super complicated.

Dude when someone else says it so succinctly! I just read my post, it’s making me dislike my kid. I’m out.
