What finally worked for me was the 365 brand toilet bowl cleaner from Whole Foods. I had tried every eco friendly brand at my local natural food stores at that point and a bunch of equally ineffective conventional products and had basically given up. Then about a year after Whole Foods opened I was in their cleaning…

I actually showed off my clean toilet to my husband and my mom after I finally got it completely clean. I don’t know what the previous owners did or didn’t do but it took 10 different cleaning products before I found one that could get all the gunk off.

Isn’t that what happened on the Big Bang Theory? Leonard had asked Penny to marry him a couple of times and she’d said she wasn’t ready so he told her he wasn’t going to ask her again so whenever she was ready she had to ask him.

I had the weirdest experience getting engaged because while my husband is pretty egalitarian about most things he had very retrograde ideas about how getting engaged should work. As a result I did issue a little bit of an ultimatum at one point. He didn’t want to propose until after he returned from a trip he was…

I’m in Howard County in MD. I’ve got lots of teachers in my family and people move into our county because the special education services are so good.

Why are there so many of you who think I’m an idiot? I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years so this is all stuff I’m very familiar with. The vegetarians and vegans I know do not get most of their protein from soy as it’s very problematic especially in large quantities (in Asia they use fermented soy almost exclusively…

I was so angry when they announced that. Literally/figuratively and “I could care less” are two of my biggest language pet peeves.

Since when is saying that you’re confused “very confrontational”? Leon certainly didn’t seem to be offended when s/he responded. I understand perfectly why someone would choose to eat eggs what I didn’t understand was the direct correlation being not being able to eat soy and needing to eat eggs because as it turns…

No, based on Leon’s response to me you’re probably right. The problem is that since hyperbole (like sarcasm) can be tricky to identify on the internet and nutritional deficiencies can lead to medical issue like friable bones it wasn’t obvious. Which is why I asked.

As I recall that was pretty much the reaction these girls had.

Not that many were actually aborted as that requires knowledge of the sex before birth. Some of them were murdered after they were born and some were abandoned and got adopted (mostly by Americans). The Chinese government has actually been inviting them back for a while now. It’s ostensibly to learn about their…

Exactly! I used to work in special education and on multiple occasions had to take all of the other students out of the room because one of them was having a meltdown and throwing things. We were all trained in proper restraint techniques (for the kids whose parents had given permission for that) but they were only to…

Sure, eggs are an easy way to get a complete protein (plus a lot of good vitamins) which is why I feed them to my kids every day. We also eat a lot of quinoa and muffins made with quinoa flour because it’s a complete protein as well. As I said though I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years so I’m pretty well versed in how…

“So as not to have my bones break in half” doesn’t equate with anything that I know about the nutritional content of eggs.

Wow, defensive much?

Ok, so it’s just a personal preference thing. I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years and I avoid soy most of the time (I pretty much only eat soy based products when I’m getting Asian takeout of some kind). I was worried that there was some nutritional thing I was missing because while I do eat eggs it’s almost always…

WTF are you even talking about? While there is a lot of sex most of the nudity has been male and outside of the bedroom scenes the female leads are almost always dressed very conservatively.

You can eat whatever you want of course but I’m confused as to why not being able to eat soy meant you had to eat eggs.

My mom once told a class of middle school kids that they were “ignorant” about something and they promptly proved her right by telling their parents that she had said they were stupid.

Yeah, but it’s always on Kitchenette at the same time, 11 am. You don’t have to wait for it to pop up on the main site.
