Shuping claims to have found a psychologist willing to help fulfill her dream in 2006. After a couple of weeks, they decided Shuping was ready to lose her eyesight. The psychologist poured drain cleaner in her eyes.

I have ever been there, but the lip-curling description reminds me of a few places I've been. Are they fast food?

I just love your screen name. That’s all. :)

That’s so constructive! Impromptu life-changing club was likely worth the puffy dress. And cheers to Honours English!

I guess you were never hurt the way I was hurt...

The other side of that might be that because the movie is about wonen’s rights, it was pointless to ask it at all.

That seems fair. And legitimate.

Not entirely true. In the picture above, she is practicing (albeit involuntarily) the same look Michelle Duggar has in coitus. The way her hair is thrown over her turtleneck...I think she’s rather convincing.

The only restaurant on earth where you leave reeking as badly and for as long as if you fucking worked there all day, and all you did was walk in and exit. I swear, that stuff permeates your clothes for days.

It’s depressing, isn’t it? My PhD is sooooooo expensive. But I’ve never wanted anything so badly in my life. An honorary degree seems like such a blessing if it’s bestowed to someone ‘honourable’. When more than one university had to start revoking degrees for this dummy, my eyebrows began to furrow.

Totally a lab thing. My friend is a vet. One year, we went out for dinner, and she refused to order a chocolate dessert. She explained that a lab had come in after eating a wholesale bag of chocolates, and was shitting pure chocolate for days. Everyone in the clinic was turned off of chocolate for weeks.

Exactly. That's the art of true friendship. Gentle truths.

I once went to dinner with a group of friends. One of them was married to a bit of a dumdum. One of our friends suggested a great Indian restaurant called the Taj Mahal, and the dummy spouse said, “I dunno. I don’t really like bannock.”

At home, everyone who orders water typically gets it cold. It’s how we roll in North America. But just about everywhere else I’ve lived, they’ll ask if you want room temperature or cold. I now much prefer room temperature!

Shut the front door! I teach in the Middle East, but home is Cranbrook Hill. I shit you not!!!!!

I've got to ask. Are you in BC? I'm a teacher and you've basically describe my work environment, right down to the brutal, underserved kids who need EAs and don't have them.

“It’s like, why did you travel to see me in the first place? Was it really to see me, or was it to get that moment to see me so that you could tell people about it.”

I had......’one of those days’ at work today. This really helped cheer me up.
