That was my first thought. If Cosmo’s nearly-naked covers are too much, so are the covers of a variety of fitness and “lad mags”.

There are some similar stories in my mother’s family. Her great-grandparents disappear from every record I can track down sometime around 1892. They are there in the 1890 census and in a town record in 1891...then poof...by the 1900 census, their sons are listed as orphans living with various relatives. Have not been…

But, isn’t that what Jett’s statement basically says? Other than the part about being “fucked up at the time”? She said she does not remember the incident, politely describes how screwed up the band’s situation was, and wishes peace and healing to Fuchs. If I’m reading this badly please let me know.

My farm-raised Dad and his siblings would name the animals they raised for 4-H, but they used names that reminded them of the animal’s ultimate fate. For instance, one of my uncles won a county fair blue ribbon with a pig named “Bacon”. Dad raised a steer referred to as “Roast”.

As someone who converted to Judaism about 6 years ago, the way they ended Cindy’s storyline in the last ep meant a lot to me. Really, I was crying with her. The rabbis at my beit din asked me the same question, and my answer was pretty close to the one the character gave. Here’s hoping Tova Cindy will fine new ways to…

That was my first question. Ghost is at Castle Black in Jon’s quarters. I find it hard to believe he would not have charged in at the first stab. ITB, if I remember correctly, Ghost is right there, but is attacked to keep him from defending Jon Snow.

Can I just say, I have seen “Testament of Youth” and it is incredible. Kit Harington actually smiled a few times. And I cried a few times. If you see it, bring tissues.

Dear world,

I am a Jew with some close friends who lived Orthodox for a time. Usually, dating is limited to 3 supervised dates before the couple must decide if they want to get married or not. That’s it. Once the marriage is agreed to, they can go on dates in large, well-populated public spaces. These are sometimes called…

I’ve been waiting for someone to bring this up. Honestly, I thought it was going to be some Jewish community pointing out that, under certain circumstances, ultra-restrictive anti-abortion laws can conflict with some interpretations of Jewish law. But, hey, whatever gets the job done. Hail Satan!

I remember seeing a photo of a woman in the British Raj riding sidesaddle...over show jumps...while holding a parasol over her head. Now that is what I call "multi tasking".

Made me cry because that is how I felt after one of my best friends suddenly died last year. After the funeral I sat on the couch in the apartment I shared with him and his wife and said out loud, "He isn't in that cemetery. He is at the doctor or someplace, and he's waiting for me to come pick him up. But I don't…

One of my friends already is referring to my pet birds as my "lap chickens". Wonderful!

I really enjoyed "The Grand Budapest Hotel". It is quirky and helped me laugh at a time I sorely needed it.

My green-cheeked conure purrs all the time. One very contented parrot, he is.

Wonderful. Reminds me of the scene from "The Year Without a Santa Claus" when Heat Miser and Snow Miser get verbally slapped by Mother Nature.

Is it wrong that I like flask bangle and long to add it to my office ensemble?

Are we really sure this guy isn't a rabbi pulling the greatest prank of all time? Because what he stated is pretty much the view of mainstream Judaism.

As an experienced kinkster, I am so glad you wrote this piece. I am a submissive, and I have been approached by fake doms whose approach was similar to that of Mr. Ghomeshi. I send them on their way. A true BDSM relationship is empowering to all the people involved—both the dominant and the submissive. Mr. Ghomeshi…
