That's right, NBC, there ARE OTHER SHOWS, and I WATCH THEM. I watch them, and I like it. Does that hurt? Does it hurt you to know that I like those other shows on other networks? It's not just you and your one show in my life anymore. *runs from room sobbing*

BOO on those gross pricks! I hate that you were not respected and valued in those early experiences.

But experiential learning programs are all the rage right now! How will Tennessee stay on the cutting edge of education without this immersion curriculum?

I was once present at the "Three-hole Revelation" of a seventeen-year-old, sexually active young lady who honestly believed that tampons were selectively absorbent. Blood gets stopped, pee gets out. She literally thought that.

Well, let me begin by saying that if I was offering an assertion to the Senate for their use as a policy guideline, I wouldn't do it without a citation on point. What I'm finding is that the particular scenario in question—an attacker taking a gun intended to be used defensively, and using it offensively—does not…

Can you recommend a source about victim's capability with the weapon and having it turned on them? I know I've seen that. Someone in my post is being a dick about me asserting that that happens without a citation. I've found several studies showing that guns in homes are more likely to be used in criminal assaults…

YES. There have been some academic studies on guns in the home, and they are more likely to be used in criminal assaults, suicides, accidental shootings, and domestic violence than in defense against a home invader. This includes a number of incidences in which an inexperienced, freaked out crime victim had their…

Ah—bigger on the inside, like the TARDIS?

Wait, how are you gonna attract a rapist in a skirt big enough to conceal an AR-15? Everyone knows modesty is the best defense...

And everyone has a story about someone who would have died in that car accident if they hadn't been thrown from the car, which they wouldn't have been if they had a seatbelt on.

She's the evil bitch I strive to be each day!

WOW! No, I hadn't. If mine were that blue, I would go to the doctor! My fingers are pink, except for the nail beds. I'm pretty pale and veiny, and under my nails is the same bluish color as under my eyes, except when I'm exercising, playing the piano, or doing something where I'm squeezing/really using my hands,…

This is why we need tiny lady-pistols strapped to our legs at all times. The risk of shooting her foot off is miniscule compared to the shame she would bring upon her family if she allowed herself to get raped.

And the (significant) likelihood of having your gun taken away and used against you is nowhere in this very scientific "balance of power" equation. No surprise there. The stereotype of the Bad Stranger lives on, now to justify women buying massive military style weapons, which are sure to be helpful in moments of…

Is your resting blood pressure generally low? Not danger-zone low, but consistently low? Mine is, and I'm usually cold to the touch as well—especially my hands and feet. My fingers are usually kind of blue under the fingernails too. It goes away with any meaningful amount of physical movement, but if I've been at…

Agree. It gave a lot of women a starting point for talking about sex, say in a long-term relationship where both partners stopped putting in an effort for several years. "I would totally/never do THAT!" is a great opener.

I am NEVER going to get all the coffee out of my keyboard! OMG laughing so hard.

Haha! True that.

My guess, given the nature of her career as a "personality," is she picked the underwear first, and then the dress. I feel like there should be a cover on the stool though. She looks like she could fall from that perched position any minute, but if she scoots back, some freshly waxed skin is going to be in contact…

OMG how horrible! The "soft hands" talk is so important. Have you seen "Buck," the documentary about Buck Brannaman, the "Horse Whisperer"? There's a section where he has his workshop students practice communicating by having a person at each end of a rope. He demonstrates how the other person will start to brace…
