My step son had a a rough time in grade 12 (nothing like these poor kids, of course), and we really encouraged him to take a year off. Just take.it.off. He ended up deciding to do some upgrading (which is free here), worked some, played a lot of video games, and started university last September more mature and,…

Wow. That rate is crazy. My parents’ home care worker is paid $17.21/hr (I just looked up the job postings). Most is covered by the government and I pay the difference.

Saw Dodai’s name, made a squee sound inappropriate for my age, and then came out to say I squeed inappropriately.

I prefer chickadee for people I don’t know very well. Chickadees are adorable. Never an insult :D

I can see her going to kill Jaime and saying she needs his face. And him saying, dude, I’ll just go kill Cersei for you. Give me 10 minutes and a dagger.

I can’t handle either Tyrion or Jaime dying, so Arya’s going to need to be someone else.

/shrug I get that it bothers people, but honestly I am over 40 and still refer to myself as a girl most of the time. I refer to women as girls. Or dudes. Or chickadee. Or chicklettes.

I used to massive tit ornaments and always had to do the spin. I envied anyone who could reach back because I knew I was ruining my elastic. But damn my rotator cuff was like “hard no” every time I tried.

I was thinking meth, too. I used to work at a drop in centre and people on meth, especially, acted pretty much like this.

Midwives where I live are full RNs who have completed the midwife training. They are regulated by the provincial government and are paid for by them to help provide better care to high risk patients who need specialized care by not having those doctors’ time taken up by low risk patients.

I’m pronouncing it Surell, like Purell because I’m a 7 year old boy in my soul :D

My youngest had sex organ related issues as a toddler.

My MIL worried a lot about our youngest getting some girl knocked up. Me? I’m like, fuck, he’d have to talk to a girl first for that to happen, and he’s way too busy calling his friends “fucking morons from hell” over voice chat during WoW raids to do that...

Alden Ehrenreich is the moody-looking one and Ansel Elgort is the doofy-looking one. That’s how I tell them apart.

I agree: Harvey’s has the best veggie burger in Canada. And excellent onion rings.

Damn. Now I want homemade tempura.

Agreed. 50 Shades Darker works *so* much better if you pretend you’re watching a paranormal romance thriller...
