I may or may not have responded exactly like this back when my parents got us an original NES.

For me, 'age years' and 'calendar years' are the same thing, since my birthday is on New Year's day. I've decided that 28 was terrible but that 29 had damned well better be awesome because it's the last year of my 20s and I would very much like to enjoy it!!

I'm very sorry to hear about your horrible year. There's nothing worse than watching someone you love go through something like that; it can leave you with a terribly helpless feeling. I'd almost rather suffer through harassment myself than watch someone I care for endure it because at least, then, I can feel like I…

Oh, wow. I'm so sorry to hear about your year; that's absolutely horrible. I'm furious on your behalf. My thoughts are with you and I hope that 2012 is better for you.

2011 can roll over and die already. Grandmother diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, stepmother diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer. Became a witness in a murder investigation by inadvertently being the last person to see a young woman alive (a tragedy that everyone in our town is still reeling from. Bless her…

My husband's 'man cave' is the kitchen.

As someone from BC, I totally understood what you were going for there in your original comment, with regards to stereotypes. At least, I think I understood. My mind might be a little hazy thanks to all the pot smoke and tear gas.

I don't really care for either of them as performers, but if this is true, I'm sad for them. They did seem genuinely in love and sweet together.

I wondered that, too. Could it have been possible that the fetuses were being saved to be used for scientific/learning purposes? That's the only explanation I can think of, other than maybe they were being stored on a short-term basis in order to be buried- but, wouldn't it be unusual to bury aborted fetal remains?…

Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree with you completely about viability. The problem with the concept of 'viability', too, is it varies so much from baby to baby. I gave birth to a preemie born five weeks early, who weighed almost a full six pounds and had absolutely zero medical complications. My cousin recently gave…

Thanks for the clarification. I think the reason why I consider it a 'remake' is because the American film came about so recently after the Swedish one. Also, without giving away spoilers, from what I've seen/heard of the American version so far, there are a few things that happen in the new version that also happen…

As I understand it, the most premature baby to ever survive was born at about 21w5d pregnancy. With that in mind, I am personally uncomfortable with abortion after 20 weeks. If I found myself unexpectedly pregnant with no opportunity for an abortion before 20 weeks pregnancy, I would likely not choose to terminate…

I don't see how it isn't a remake. The movie has already been made, and now it's been made again. Isn't that the very definition of a remake?

I'm pro-choice, but the thought of an abortion on a healthy late-term fetus breaks my heart. That said, I think this is a perfect example of why abortions need to be affordable and easily accessible to women.

I have every intention of seeing this movie in theatres. I haven't been to a show in about two years, but I'm going to this come hell or high water. The holidays have kept me from making it out yet, though, and childcare is always an issue for us.

I was a little late getting on the Millennium Series train, and just recently watched the original movies. I'm halfway through the second book, and really looking forward to the new American remake. Can I just say, though, that Liz Salander is officially my new favorite superhero? I can't remember the last time…

Anecdotal, maybe; however, my experience has been the same. I have spoken to several people in the service about their opinions about DADT and I've yet to come across anyone who opposes the repeal. Most supported the repeal, the rest felt 'meh' about it.

Oh, I agree with you about the gender-specific toys. I've got some weird looks from friends and family when I told them I bought my three-year-old son a doll for Christmas. When he saw me holding my niece, he said he wanted a baby, too. He LOVES babies- so I got him one. I also got him some monster trucks,…

Am I completely crazy, or is this not the first time Whoopi's farted on air? I seem to remember it happening a year or two ago, too.

Nobody warned me about it, either- that's how I got pregnant with my oldest son. I'd taken the same pills for seven years without so much as a scare and then, boom, I was pregnant. Found out afterwards about the antibiotics and thought, "Hrm, that explains a lot."
