Ironic that all these comments are so hateful. This Pope is taking the Catholic Church and Catholics to places they've never dreamed of going - places that many of them have been fighting for literally centuries, and it's not enough. All evidence of his short papacy indicates that he comes from a place of compassion,…

Wait. So you have to take multiple leaves from work, at least some of which will be unpaid, for the stupid "counseling sessions", set aside at least 2-3 hours (probably a lot more if you live in a rural area) pay for the gas it takes for the multiple trips, and then pay the insurance copay/premiums for those…

I think this little girl is pretty damn impressive (albeit, memorization is not necessarily a yard stick for intelligence). If the girl can also read and comprehend said reading then I'd be even more impressed with her.

OMFG when those break as you're slapping it on and you end up slitting your own wrist and your teacher calls your parents because they think you're "troubled".

Slap watches, even. My cousin, who is a grown-ass woman, wears one regularly.

I'm 57. I am NOT afraid of death. I'm afraid of what's going to happen between now and my demise. YIKES! And being older, I don't give a flying fuck about things that used to piss me off. I just don't care anymore. Religion? Gone. Atheism is very freeing. Money? I'll survive. Family? Good. Politics? Vote and move on.…

I'm planning to live forever and so far, that's working out for me. Still, if I could find a way to stop getting older that didn't involve dying, I'd certainly like to learn more about it.

I just watch this

Yes, I drool in unison. Not so much a fan of beading, but the embroidery is stellar.

There's a royal school of needlework that's been in existence at least since the early 20th century. (I didn't capitalize it because I'm sure of it and too lazy to google). I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they had something to do with embroidering the dress, possibly having students and/or instructors design and…

Yes— wouldn't it be great to know the details. Each one was an first rate craftsperson so to know their names, how they got so good, what they felt like seeing the Queen wear their work, if they developed friendships, were they in the Abbey or did they have to watch TV? Who made the designs and who supervised their…

But they run ads for sex shops. That's not divisive at all.

Do you think she spent all of her spare type writing their names together in her notebook, dreaming of when they could be together?

This whole thing just makes me so confused. Because...this is not an attractive man, by most standards. Is it a power thing? Like, is that a real thing that women are attracted to men in power even when they're unattractive jerks? Even when they don't actually have much power anymore? Beauty, beholder, blahblahblah I…

Sydney Leathers and Carlos Danger sound like the protagonists of a certain type of movie...

That is sexist. If being a woman isn't as cool as being a man to you, that is sexism. Superiority in your own eyes is a very big deal.

I'd love to think that this is the result of a nationwide re-education on the effects of drinking soda, and that the decline in consumption in diet versions is because people are finally wising up to the idea that aspartame is just the devil. Every time I see someone buy a Diet Coke (and with a friend that's truly…

I have always felt alien to this country of mine because I do not like sodas. I'll drink watered down ginger ale when I'm hung over but really do not like. Too sweet and too many bubbles. Especially coke and diet coke. I think it's 'cause I'm broken.

Maybe it's a lazy weight-loss thing?

I like how the picture is of imported Coke and Fanta, made with real sugar rather than corn syrup. In the last year, I got off my one-a-day Dr Pepper habit. But I do sneak a Mexicoke every once in awhile, or once a week, or more.
