In another picture on the Harry Potter story, Ron is looking a little stubbly, too. And all in all it's making me feel like a dirty old woman. But I'm making peace with that.

@NellMood: I'm really looking forward to having an iud. I am so crap at remembering birth control, but I'm not ready to make any permanent decisions about not having another kid. So right now, I'm trying to read only the happy "it pinched a little and then I was done and went and got ice cream" stories.

@oh_desy: Ouch! I'm a little nervous because while I have a kid, she was a c-section. I never actually got dilated more than about a centimeter. (A frustrating tale for another day.) But at least it should mean they'll be more willing to give me one.

@oh_desy: A friend of mine has a paraguard and she loves it. So I'm being a nerd and reading up on them both *again* tonight.

Oh hell yes, my new local Planned Parenthood offers Mirena as well as Paraguard. I've been wanting an IUD, and while I feel like I should be opposed to the hormones in Mirena, I think I like the sound of it better.

@Elak Swindell: I'd say sentence structure-wise they have a younger feel than the rest of Discworld. But it's the mark of a great author who can make YA lit that appeals to adults because it carries the same level of thoughtfulness. I would argue that just because books have adult themes doesn't make them adult books.

@AfroJezeBella: They're fighting aliens. ... Yes, really.

@rodmanstreet: Don't give up! And I turn 30 this year and still need help from my parents. So, not great, but you're not alone.

@wardamneagle: It was Indian. But then Jess brought her stuff from Luke's. And then Paris showed up. So, as long as you can avoid Jess and Paris, sounds like a good weekend.

@linworthnewt: Ha. I share your issues. The entirety of my master's defense was about why scifi and fantasy matter, and I should be allowed to write them in a "serious" programs. I should forward this to my committee.

Michale Bay probably pulled the reward when someone pointed out 4chan would be coming to collect.

@pugmom1212: Hmmm... maybe she went outside of protocol to do so? This bears some googling... I found this: [www.nytimes.com] which has some good info. But I'm not seeing what exactly happens. Ex-Presidents take their personal belongings and gifts to them, linens are done away with (wonder if those could be taken...),…

@Sabriel: As I understand it, the White House as an entity unto itself is a hoarder. Nothing is ever done away with, it all sits in storage, waiting for someone to say "I want to use X."

@Janglesatwest: My plan for if/when I win (assuming we won multiple millions, and I only buy a ticket if it's up past 100 mil), is to get an accountant to set it up so we basically get 50 grand a year, maybe 60, with the rest of the annual payment put into savings and charity donations. Considering we're currently…

@LikeChai: I think what she was saying was that her dad was more okay with her driving underage (most places it's 16) than with her riding with a drunk driver. To that end, he taught her to drive early. *shrug* We lived on 10 acres when I was a kid, and I learned to drive when I was about 13. I would imagine their…

@hotpinklovesofa: I have one friend who was told to drop weight, and she did and it worked. My mom constantly told me I was going to have trouble unless I lost weight. (Me losing weight is possible her favorite thing to talk about.) Yeah. No trouble. A friend of mine has PCOS *and* was on the pill. She got pregnant.…

@knightgee: That was my first thought, as well.

@Russ Cutress: I see you're unaware of how the drug lords work. If they wanted the people off the land, it wouldn't be goats they were killing. The cartels don't mess around.

@Samuel Tecpaocelotl Castillo: Maybe in the opening, as they are all getting on, we'll see Cheech walk up, look inside, shake his head and walk away.

@Walking Eye!:The Business-Casual Gamer: Way back in the day, there was also an SNL skit about a bunch of cobras that got loose on a plane. Obviously since we've run out of tv shows and movies to re-make, and done all the nearly good SNL skits, we're going back to the obscure ones.
