Seriously. Just because he was disabled doesn’t mean he didn’t deserve to die, especially since he died because he triggered the PTSD of his victim. I thought it was perfectly acted/directed. The moment when she stopped because she snapped out of it and then deliberately hit him one last time was great.

I was waiting the whole episode for that moment and it did not disappoint.

There are lots of stories about him behaving like an asshole.

I seem to recall reading that the wedding dress was something like 60 yards of fabric which seemed absurd but if a single petticoat is 5+ yards that number starts to make sense.

Well, take for example the picture in the heading. You can actually get their bodies much closer by putting him slightly behind her than if they were standing next to each other because of the width of her skirts. You wouldn’t put him in front because the dress is the star of that shot and it would throw the…

As a devoted fan of the books for 20 years now I really don’t think it has anything to do with the plot. I think it’s just the staging of the pictures.

Nah, they’ll be back in the second half of the season when they get back to Scotland

Bill Clinton was not exactly well to do growing up and his biological father died while his mom was pregnant.

It’s fun and utterly disgusting all at the same time ;)

Do you have any idea how large of a circumference tree roots grow in? If you couldn’t plant trees anywhere their roots might eventually touch a septic line you basically couldn’t plant trees in most neighborhoods. The problem is actually that septic lines used to be made out of clay. Over time they can start to crack…

Because you’re not supposed to flush anything but tp (and in some places in the world the pluming is so old you can’t even do that). Some lines can handle tampons, many cannot. If there’s any small blockage (like a tree root) a tampon can catch on it and cause a huge problem very quickly.

The US has suspended sentences.

It exists, but it’s not safe.

Something that I never see mentioned is that one of the things that makes biomedical solutions and naturopathic medicine so attractive to parents is that there are no traditional medicine choices for little kids a lot of the time. For example while I take a Sudafed and Mucinex I treat my kids’ colds with honey and…

Maybe an affiliation with an MD where there is a PA or NP at every appointment? The idea being that there is someone there trained enough in western medicine that they would know when the kid really needs to see the MD/head straight to the hospital etc.

I was talking to my husband about this the other day in regards to “Legends of Tomorrow”. How long can a show go after a specific bad guy? For the plot to continue the “hero(s)“ have to fail and how long can you do that before it just sucks.

Hopefully they’ll pull them and either donate them or slap a new label on them.

I love being the serious anomaly. Not only do my kids have my last name because my husband changed his when we married (originally suggested by my FIL because my name is just better) but it’s also my mother’s birth name because she’s gay and never married/changed her name.

That’s ultimately what made my step-sister change her name. She basically decided that she didn’t care enough to keep her dad’s name.

The fact that it’s common doesn’t mean it’s not stupid and risky. Short acting hormonal contraceptives (pill, patch, ring) are only about 90% effective under typical use. Sounds pretty good until you realize that means that every year 1 out of every 10 women using them will get pregnant.
