Honestly, at this point they should be thinking seriously about giving Patty the franchise showrunner deal...

They seems to be willfully and precisely manufacturing their own suicide bombers and extremists from otherwise innocent children.

It only now occurs to me that the $billion they’re taking out of Medicare to give to the rich will also not go to the working class care-givers. It’s a double-whammy.

That’s because you’re not amused when you look at them.

I’m ok with Liz, but I don’t want William or Harry on our money. 8-)

Just because no one writes the “one hour of labour, two pushes and I was done” article (because they’re boring) doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen (admittedly, that was #2, #1 took ... 10? 12 hrs?). Stories like Jane’s are important to hear for full disclosure as it were, but look into some statistics before making life…

I’m one of those that never changed her name with marriage. Before we got hitched I suggested we both change change names to something else like a profession name (eg. Cooper, Smith, Wainwright) which in our case could have been Coder or something. As someone with a math background, I’ve never liked the hyphenation…

Just moved to California where Spanish is the default second language being offered at the kids’ schools (Spanish is a requirement at middle school but there are a couple of options in high school, but a second language is needed to graduate). So in that guy’s worldview, you’re required to learn Spanish and then never…

The thing about the cloud storage (with no real download) thing is I see the 9 month limit as a big drawback. Sometimes you fall out of watching something and it’s only the new season that pulls you back sometimes more than a year later. I’ve got 5 episodes of Preacher and similar sitting on my physical PVR, plus tons…

Only if you use a screencap program to record the playback (eg, Nimbus Screenshot)

No!! Travelers is one of my current favourite shows, you can’t have Eric McCormack for some Will & Grace thing if it interferes!

Even being pregnant with my first, before I was an actual new parent, I was finding that regular media was making me apoplectic or completely depressed entirely too often. That’s when I discovered the Food Network, where the biggest scandal was whether or not Bobby Flay standing on a cutting board was an atrocity. 8-)…

Change your name (to protect the eventually literate child) and remove definitively identifying details (like the squat thing if that’s a story you tell all your new acquaintances)? Then publish the story that would make other women feel less alone...

No Pat Benatar, formally trained singer turned rock star?

I saw this tv news magazine type piece once about how coming out as atheist in the United States was worse than coming out as gay for your career and general shunning. Wish I could remember the source.

My question is: will this new release of a massive number of new pokemon and berries come with an expansion of the default number of bag slots or will I finally be forced to pay real money to play the game? 8-)

I remember when Elementary started airing paired with POI. Elementary which is supposed to be about twisty, baffling crimes that could only be solved by uber-genius, Sherlock Holmes. But the writing on POI was so much better, sharper, by a team of clearly smarter people. It was ... ironic?

I recognized Andrea Martin (Good News) even with a big Youtube play button over most of her face. “No one you care about....” 8-P

So, not entirely unlike Weir’s Hermes + ascent/descent vehicle system? Weir did mention someone else who had written a Mars transport system that he borrowed heavily from, but I can’t find the quote at the moment.

Thought it was getting to be time for a new Fluxx. We have almost all of them and play them regularly on games night with the kids. My long time fav is the Monty Python Fluxx ‘cos who doesn’t want to speak in an outrageous accent? 8-)
