There are no words.

Okay, maybe one: Perfection.

I had kids before I got married (married their dad, though). He was abandoned by his dad as an infant and still carried his name, but didn’t want to pass it onto the kids, so we gave them his mother’s maiden name. Then husband decided he didn’t want to change his name, after all (he was planning on adopting his mom’s…

UGH, the old last name thing. See, I’d always said I wanted to keep my last name (because it’s mine). I married someone who carried their dad’s last name, though he’d never met the guy (he bailed when the husband was a baby), and who was hoping at some point to change it to his mother’s maiden name. When we had kids,…

Agreed. That’s what I thought she was talking about.

Seriously. It seems like most of the people saying “You don’t know about autistic kids...” are basing their opinion off of personal experience instead of actual knowledge. I work with children on the autism spectrum (I effing HATE the term “autistic”) and have two boys with the diagnosis as well. Not only have I seen…

I’m a Behavior Interventionist, which means I work with children and youths with autism. I also have two children with autism. I can agree that *some* children with autism can experience severe and violent episodes of dysregulation. *Some* of these “meltdowns” can be fairly frightening. That said, these individuals…

I think people get how it “works”. The general consensus, however, is that it shouldn’t work that way. Just because a rule is in place doesn’t make it right.

I had the same thought, thank god.

She was, and forever will be, the best.

What does that have to do with this?

Because Egypt is in Northern Africa, and there’s a lot more genetic diversity the further up you go. Additionally, Ancient Egyptians frequently took foreign brides (when they didn’t interbreed). There were a couple of times in Egyptian history where Pharoah’s throne was taken by other peoples (such as the Asiatics),…

I completely agree. Nefertiti’s body, if it’s still intact (and not destroyed the way almost all depictions of her were), would likely still be in Ahketaten/Amarna- especially considering the fact that it seems she died before Akhenaten. If it were Nefertiti’s tomb, you’d also have to expect that Akhenaten would be…

I am not so sure about that, personally. I think they definitely weren’t white, but I’ve always pictured ancient Egyptians as being various shades of brown. Like, in terms of coloration, there’s a very clear difference from the way they depict your average Egyptian pharaoh and a Nubian (which are consistently depicted…

I had a (necessary) c-section and the one long-term “complication” I seem to constantly be dealing with isn’t serious, but it’s a pain in the ass. I find I constantly get ingrown hairs right around the scar that can’t break through and so wind up abscessed and making more ugly scars. It’s a real pain in the ass. :(

This, basically.

He'll be there. In fact, I believe he was telling people recently that he's been contacted AND the series is going to be filmed in Vancouver again. Woohoo!

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that. It’s one thing to know it rationally, but sometimes you can’t control the irrational thoughts/emotions that go along with something like this. I do feel that I was in the “wrong” in that I allowed myself to be the basket that he put all of his emotional eggs in. I spent…

To me, I think the biggest thing I'd like to see is M&S reunited with William.

Bah, humbug. I don't think the first movie (which happened during the show and not after it ended) was lackluster at all. I LOVED it.

....no comment on the second.

I absolutely love Spike, and I when I am reminded of the attempted rape, I always ask myself "why?" Because I SHOULDN'T like Spike, but he's my favorite character. I guess my main reasons for liking him are because of the steps he took to atone for the attempted rape (which happened while he didn't have a soul,…
