@Casquivana: You're secretly talking about Jezebel right?

It's like swinging sixties meets eighties pouffery. Fabulous Darling.

@CherriSpryte: I've never met a Romanian woman who drinks, I've met a lot of Romanian men who drink a lot. Not to say they don't, but it hasn't been my experience working in a bar. Not that I think her drinking habits excuse her views, but if she were teetotaler it might explain them.

@Callipegian: She sounds like a young person who has been taught this view, and hasn't had it challenged yet. Not to excuse her ignorance, but she may be from a country where women do not drink as much as in America. Hopefully, she'll change her views with time.

@Stephan Fenstemaker: Actions do have consequences, and I'm all for personal responsibility, but not too feel sorry for her and state she should have stopped what happened to her is nasty. If someone robs you while you're drunk, it's the thief that's in the wrong regardless of the fact you placed yourself in a…

@rhubarbarin: Yep, I've cured so many problems by altering my diet. I just wish I was better at sticking to it. I figure that now and then won't hurt me as long as I make it a treat and not part of my normal diet. Giving up sugar is the best thing for menstrual cramps in my opinion. I gave up sugar and processed foods…

@rhubarbarin: I found that those things disappear for me when I give up milk, which I'm allergic to, and reappear if I'm being bad with my diet and sneak milk again. I thought I used to have to moisturise my whole body every day my skin was so bad. I gave up milk entirely, and now moisturise about once every few…

@Callipegian: Mine go white/dead grey then blue and kind of bright orange. I shudder to think what that actually means in terms of damage to the extremities.

@msmoneypenny: I have that, it's horrible sometimes. I have found though when I'm really strict about not taking milk (I'm allergic) I can withstand the cold. Lately I've been taking a drop in my coffee again because it's not hurting my stomach, and my circulation is so bad. My hands were killing me for hours after…

@la.donna.pietra: I wonder what Balzac's third piece of advice would be? If cats are not providing you with inspiration throw TVs at them. It could explain a lot.

@MissBuckyC: That reminds me of the time my friend locked herself out of the house when she just popped out to get some creme fraiche. I thought it was hilarious, everyone else gets locked out when they pop out to get milk. She got abuse from me for weeks.

@Glaven: There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

@la.donna.pietra: Oh yeah I know that, I just think the applications of math and the work mathematics isn't well known in our culture. I always wonder if countries that excel in math like India teach the subject differently from the start, or is it that they have such a huge population that geniuses are bound to rear…

@OneBigPear: Hearted for that. The US has crippled Haiti, and the rest of South America, for years. It's disgusting how little coverage issues like this gets. There was little mention in the press that when Hillary Clinton visited Haiti she held up aid deliveries for 3 hours.

@Penny: I am disturbingly interested in hearing about serial killers. I'd love to know what it is, I don't think it's about scaring myself, maybe it's because I like to think of the psychology of it. The odd thing is I really hate graphic violence, on screen or in real life, I was practically crying at my boyfriend to…

@jejune768: It's actually interesting because mathematics seems to be a subject where you can really let loose with your thinking, particularly when combined with physics. It seems more creative than other science subjects (which are definitely creative by the way) because you don't have to put in a hard slog in the…

@MegiEr: I don't know, but I did see someone wearing a "lysis to kill" T shirt in my lab the other day. I'm ashamed to say I wanted it.

That is so unfair. My protective goggles in chem labs were blue. How come she got hot pink? Stupid blonde privilege.

@willwriteforfood: That's exactly what I hope will happen. There needs to be very tight regulation in order to insure what should be a beneficial system isn't abused. I'm not sure I trust many western countries to withstand the lobbying big business engages in. I should know, I'm from a country which basically gave…

@Highsmith: I know, it's a scary figure. I just think it would be awful if people had health insurance, yet still weren't covered for all forms of treatment. I don't trust public/private partnerships to benefit the public.
