Like millions of women, Laura Doyle wanted her marriage to be better. But when she tried to get her husband to be more romantic, helpful, and ambitious, he withdrew– and she was lonely and exhausted from controlling everything. Desperate to be in love with her man again, she decided to stop telling him what to do and…

I love both!

lol, fuck you, kirk

At a farm in Preston where actress Emma Thompson is saying no to fracking.

I keep hoping the martial law 3rd term thing COMES TRUE!

You can practically hear the banjos in your head.

Arent they socialites who got lucky?

Yeah, but this one has vengeful spirits which murder people in ironic ways.

A shit load of energy, until they have to clean their rooms. Little shits.

I pay for a pass at a yoga studio so its a bit different BUT the classpass I pay for does allow me to go to ANY of the classes they have. So I am not limited to one type or style which is nice.

I used to work out at Equinox when I lived in the city and the whole “experience” is so much nicer and the classes push you a lot harder than the suburban NYSC I belong to.

You pay extra for that cult-like atmosphere

I have taken really good classes as part of a Y membership, so I definitely don’t think a special place is necessary (maybe if you’re training for something and also can’t bike outside…

They are not much different at all.

I was doing some of those spin studio classes before I switched from my main gym to Equinox. They were good, but not $20-30 good, and they were short. The spin classes at Equinox are really good and overall it’s saving me a lot by doing everything at one place for one price. The classes at my old gym generally were…

I live in New York and have a gym membership that costs $60/month. I can go whenever I like for as long as I like, and can attend any classes* they have. This is not a brag, this is me expressing consternation at the idea that you need to have some expansive rainbow of group exercise options when you can just join the…
