It happens to the best (and worst I guess) of us. My husband and I, in previous lives thought ourselves pretty great, cosmopolitan people-of-the-world types (haha). Now we have conversations like, ‘hey - have you been noticing how many more eastern whip bird calls there have been in the mornings?’ and ‘I think that’s…

Ugh, he’s so embarrassing. And a truly evil potato (it’s the eyes).  

Could not agree more.

Do you do breakdowns by country for your work? I’d be really interesting to see if the trends in this direction are largely OECD/whatever or largely US based... from my completely unscientific pondering on this (and mostly taken from reading someone else’s comment) - I wonder if your (US) health care system has any…

Tulle skirts.. ugh, so itchy.

Have you tried running with no distractions (i.e. no music/podcasts/etc.)? I haven’t run for ages as am up the duff and its the depths of a hideously hot and humid sub-tropical summer where I live but before when I was running regularly I found my groove in the following conditions: running a route that was mostly…

I love this, I’m going to share this with my mother!

It is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, unfortunately!

“...it means no unnecessary chit-chat is needed.”

Definitely line up something else. Those ‘airing of grievance’ type meetings always worry me, I don’t always trust the motivations behind them. I hope you find something in a better environment - we spend so much time at work and life’s so much more pleasant when you enjoy the company of your co-workers, the work…

OMG me too. I had this very conversation with my husband this morning, having had a nightmare last night about our baby coming out the size (and appearance) of an eight year old girl. He’s 6.7 and I have CONCERNS.

I think you probably did end up with the better deal! The dog we had when I was in my teens to my twenties nipped (on the heels as they do) every single one of my friends when they came over. Every one. Being used to heelers I didn’t even think twice about it - and would just laugh and say ‘no, no, she’s not biting…

OMG that face. So majestic, so serene.

I have had blue heelers (cattle dogs) my whole life and they really require much different lifestyles and training than regular dogs. They’re my absolute favourite dog breed, but even I know, on my current 1/3 acre block of land, that it’s not enough - they need twice a day walking AT LEAST in a suburban setting and…

I had to look up who that was, but now that I know, YES YES YES!

I’m not from your country and frankly I find your current political situation quite horrific however it’s nice to see some good come out like this. PLUS, this is completely not important nor relevant to this article but LOOK AT HER HAIR. SO SHINY. That is hair goals, right there.

Seeing the photos of Penny’s reaction had me in tears this morning. At work. It’s been such a fabulous day...

My parents did this for me - tried to expose me to plenty of religious choices in case I was interested, plus I went to a Lutheran school. In hindsight, it was probably the best approach in ensuring I ended up being a pretty strident atheist. Nothing like being told in chapel in grade 8 that ‘all homosexuals are going…

She kind of looks like that pregnant one from the Walking Dead now - that hair looks great on her. They should play sisters in a road movie, I would totally watch that.
