I actually did my post-wisdom tooth extraction with just Tylenol for similar reasons - they prescribed me Lortab and Lortab makes me throw up. I took it with food and everything, but the nausea was so bad that I opted for the pain instead. Everyone was always talking about how awesome post-dentistry pain meds are so I…

And she knew a LEGENDARY TEEN DRUG LORD.

"Marriage is a child-centered institution NOT an adult-centered one."

Ha! The same thing went down on an pop culture/entertainment board I used to read - people were discussing the movie and someone mentioned Anne Boleyn getting beheaded, and this poster was all "THANKS FOR THE SPOILERS GOD. I WAS PLANNING TO SEE THE MOVIE BUT NOW I GUESS I WON'T BOTHER GOD."

Yeah, did you see the statements Rand Paul just made about his fetal personhood act? He uses SO MANY words and is all, "Well I don't think it's fair to pigeonhole and say that I don't believe in discussion between a woman and her physician, obviously every case is different and there will always need to be discussion…

Their rationale is that they do tons of good works on their own and donate tooooons of money to charities and to their church, they just don't want the government ~forcing~ them to do it. They want to be able to bestow charity on the less fortunate on their own terms, and they want it to be very clear that they are…

I also liked The Passage, but I thought The Twelve was kind of a fucking mess. The author spends a large portion of the book - the first third at least - going back in time to the year of the viral outbreak, then coming back to the time period where the last book ended, so that he can tell the stories of a bunch of…

He did it too! Apparently getting guardianship was the statutory-rapist-rock-star go-to move.

Isn't Steven Tyler the one who got guardianship of a 14-year-old girl back in the day so that he could take her around on tour and have sex with her? (And then he got her pregnant, pressured her into getting an abortion and then wrote about how awful the whole thing was FOR HIM?) Mega eww.

Remember ladies, no matter what a man does, you made him do it.

Here's the thing: the more you mainstream something, the less control you have over it. The keep-the-Christ-in-Christmas Christians want everyone to acknowledge Christmas, they want it to be a nationally observed holiday, they want manger scenes at the state capitol and their kids making ornaments at school. But then…

Stephen King wrote something similar in reference to The Stand, that there was an appeal in just wiping everything out and starting over (or going back to that wide-open frontier ideal that's prevalent in American culture) and not having to worry about things like culture wars and pollution and shortage of resources.…

Wow, I had this exact same situation with a guy who is the exact same age. Except I would buy the "I'm so tired from work, I just fell asleep, can I make it up to you?" and give him another chance, so this went on, I'm ashamed to say it, for years. He did work a lot, we had some history, I really liked him, and he was…

I'll go a bit bitchier than the rest of the thread and say that if she hasn't bothered to get you a gift in three years, AND she didn't show up to celebrate with you, she's not putting in as much friend-effort as you are and I would stop putting myself out to that degree. I'm assuming you don't have that fun…

Laura Linney. Lyle Lovett, Lisa Lampanelli...

Seriously. It's a big thing for conservatives to go, "Sex has no place in schools, teaching kids about sex needs to be left up to the PARENTS," and in a great many cases the parents have no idea what they are fucking talking about. Especially if they've grown up in a red state with no sex ed themselves. When a friend…

They think that their attractiveness doesn't matter because they're male and have been gifted with a penis by God Himself. We're all supposed to adore and revere them regardless of how ugly and stupid they are. I'm guessing that some of their anger at women is due to the world not actually working this way.

What about them? I love when men bring up non-working wives like that's a reason that no woman is allowed to not want a deadbeat. The OP wasn't requiring support from a man or saying that men should carry wives instead, so why should the unrelated fact of some random men "carrying" wives have any bearing on her life…

YOU CAN BE TOPLESS IN BARTON SPRINGS? I have been seriously considering moving to Austin and I think that just sealed it.

I see that the consensus is that it looks like Jennifer Aniston, but my first thought was Linda Blair in The Exorcist. It's something about the nose/upper lip area.
