so the pope enjoys bodily autonomy and doesn’t like being touched without consent...and I thought they only slapped pedo priests on the wrist...

why spend $3000/year to do this when they could just work from home for free (and wear non work clothes)?

I also attended CC for 2 years prior to Univ. I had a work study job that I mostly worked alone and quit because of a very creepy stalker-y co worker. There are plenty of creeps at CC.

if Charles has his mother’s and grandmother’s longevity on his side, she’ll be waiting a long time to die...

but they never think that maybe just maybe they passed something genetic onto their kids...

My sister had epilepsy she blames on being vaccinated (not likely the case; the more likely cause was she was born not breathing and hit her head hard enough to bruise on the way out of the birth canal). She also claims her kids are “vaccine-injured” along with a host of other rare diseases she seems to think they…

why aren’t the spouses on the hook for any of this?

I went to community college and public univ after, was poor enough for pell grant scraps, but not enough to cover it all. I took out loans, as did my folks, I worked. I paid my debt off about 8 years ago (almost 40 now). I recently got accepted into grad school at NYU, but it was gonna cost me $60k so I decided not to…

she is a terrible negotiator with everyone but Ben, who she steamrolls into marriage and mortgages...

If I had a friend that treated me as badly as my sister treats me, my mom would say to get rid of that friend; but because my sister treats me (and everyone) like shit, it’s acceptable? No thanks. The only reason my mom has anything to do with her is because she has kids and she wants a relationship with the…

I haven’t used Uber/Lyft often, usually only when I’ve travelled without a vehicle. Just to use LA drivers as an example: one guy engaged in road rage on the freeway, then a tire blew, leaving us stranded off a freeway waiting for another car to pick us up. Another guy was very disgruntled and talked about how drivers…

Video does not solve crimes or prove guilt. Many times, crimes are recorded and the perps (and cops) are not found guilty. CCTV is typically for the benefit of the businesses, i.e., insurance and liability, not for the safety of the general public. Whether or not they help in criminal investigations is an afterthought.

I agree, and yet, Gere engaged in a fist fight with the goon...

sounds like roid rage

Henri Paul, Princess Diana’s driver, was also drunk: Paul’s blood alcohol content level was subsequently found to be between 1.73 g/L and 1.75 g/L (⪆0.17% mass/vol.), a figure more than three times the threshold for drunk driving as defined under French law.  

my father in law said his grandfather hit him in the face with a wooden spoon for talking too much...

my grandmother hit me in the face with a belt as a young child, oh silly granny

I inherited antique dining room furniture and while I look the look of it, the functionality is to be desired. The furniture also needs refinishing and repairs that will be costly.

My husband is terribly allergic to everything, including pets, and he has had pets all his life. He takes a drug regimen that helps and we have hepa filters and clean a lot, also. We have a low allergen mutt.

I know a couple that had two golden retrievers, nice dogs, but one was completely and utterly OCD. These were pure breed dogs. I have had mutts and pure breeds, the mutts seem to have longer, healthier lives in general.
