Ahh thank you! I was skimming over the pictures and all of a sudden my brain just shut down. I literally read that sentence out loud a few times trying to make it work in my head.

I think Amy was a fan of Carole. I've been playing this song over and over again. Carole King posted it on her FB a couple of days ago with a little memorial message.

I'm sorry, you're still not getting the point. Only girls that look like Megan Fox get raped (and even then they're probably asking for it by being so damn sexy all the time, really they should be flattered) the rest of us should just be thankful their dicks aren't repulsed by our hideous mugs.

I sat and thought about not promoting this for a while but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say while commenters often do get snarky with each other on different threads, it is not really ever okay to call another commenter a "snarky jealous bitch". No one likes to feel attacked and you really negate the point…

Commenting to promote. Love TED talks!

I think you sound lovely. Neither side should keep score. It kind of kills the romance factor and makes it more of a business transaction. I've been with a guy for a while now and it really just depends on who can get to their wallet first. We don't keep track of how many times the other has paid. It's definitely a…

I am too. Like it doesn't need to be a show, just the little things. Also, usually a person with manners is a person with a good mama! And that goes a long way as well.

haha I was so nervous it was going to come across strange. But now I want an invented-on-the-spot family crest!! Maybe something with a lion?

I don't know if this is a manners thing, a Southern thing, or just a donjuansrecklessdaughter thing but, while I don't mind splitting a bill or treating my man at all, I do expect (and judge) when men don't do things like open the door for me. I've always prided myself on being independent and having the means to…

My first couple of weeks here I had some trouble getting around my city and if I walked up to a person and started with "Perdona" and then asked my question in Spanish I would get a helpful answer. Honestly I wouldn't worry about putting yourself out there and people not being receptive. People here love to talk,…

Hi! I´m currently living in Spain and for the love of God don´t bring jeans or heavy pants. I´m in the north and we´ve already hit the 100´s. You should be fine with some good lightweight skirts and shorts. We´re in a ridiculous drought so other than maybe a tiny umbrella don´t pack for harsh weather.

I'm reading it right now too. While I'm really enjoying learning the backstory of her cells and what they have contributed too, you are so right about her "voice". I just got to the part where she drove into Lackstown and the entire part read like "Oh look at me this little white lady just fitting in with the black…

I'm loving the fact that your username is an absolute perfect end to your comment.

I´m getting my graduate degree in stem cell biology and every week we have a lab meeting to discuss papers/projects/etc... One week one of our lab´s biggest supporters came in to speak to us. She had already buried one child with Huntington´s and was currently caring for her son who came with her who was in the latter…

Ahh I came to say the exact same thing. I guess I am officially concave.

Thanks and yes she is! I have a almost unhealthy obsession with her.

Meh. Say what you want about her but she's in what appears to be a good relationship with a partner that adores her, feels damn good about herself, and has enough money to create pet projects (no matter how successful they will or won't be). I'd dare say almost every commenter wants at least 2 of those 3 things. Get…

I just finished my undergrad and there's a degree program that let's you get "certificates". It's basically a minor but with fewer classes required. Most of the certificates at my school are offered through the College of Agriculture of which I'm a part. The certificate I chose is in International Agriculture. I…

OMG! Second (original) Lindsey Buckingham coming in to show out!

No worries! I totally sympathize with your anecdote. Girls in science are made fun of for looking like girls or looking like scientists. Might as well have a little fun if you're screwed either way!
