My dad, a fervent climate change denier, has been forced to admit that maybe there's something to it.

...except your children might be genetically predisposed to confuse “you’re” and “your.”

Overwhelming lust outweighed by the ‘your/you’re’ issue.

Making chocolate is extremely hard. That’s why so few companies do it but instead get already made chocolate from elsewhere. Here’s a little knowledge, if the place you are buying your chocolate from calls themselves “chocolatiers” they didn’t make their own chocolate. Only bean to bar companies can legally call…

Heh. The awareness of cultural mores in days past is fairly important in interpreting the way our immediate ancestors went about their daily lives, I think. Sometimes it’s a little absent in current discussions, to the detriment of clarity.

It’s true. Girl rockers are still seen as a novelty. It sucks. I’m learning to play guitar right now and I feel like I have very few women to look up to or emulate.

I guess that’s why it’s important to have even numbers of them.

I can only hope my husband and I are as civilized about splitting up the Picassos when and if we split.

Not only did I read the article, but I also understand how Weight Watchers works and the basic addition necessary to keep track of points. I’m also aware of the fact that WW has been around long before apps and having WW keep track of your points is a new thing - it used to be your responsibility. My mother was a…

While I agree that rape and sex are fundamentally different, the whole “rape is always about power and control, and never about sexual desire” thing that has been accepted as a truism really goes too far.

As you can see, Easternly winds will bring some rain and cloud cover.....into my pelvis here..

I mean, the mom is clearly an ass, but I don’t think I want my kids taught by someone who doesn’t know affect from effect and mixes up their/they’re/there.
