I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with concept of 'leftover wine.' Why would anyone DO such a thing?

While your comment normally wouldn't deserve a civil response, I'll do my best for those that aren't homophobic. The term 'roommate' often, but not exclusively, refers to a person with whom you share an apartment or house. In more expensive cities, it's not unheard of for people to actually sleep in the same room…

Actually, having been pregnant will stretch your uterus, making it easier to accept an IUD. They had to stretch mine a bit, and it was...unpleasant, but it was done. I've since had my Mirena taken out after too many side effects.

Ha! Monosyllabic girl wins again.

My concern in all of this is how are all these chemicals they tell us to slather all over our bodies affecting our bodies? Some believe that if you wouldn't eat it, you shouldn't put it on your skin, as it'll soak in and still affect you. I use it*, but what are the drawbacks for excessive sunscreen use?

Exactly. If you're going to get content from another blog, at least read the comments and do a little research of your own. Not only is it a safety issue, but very few people will actually save money this way.

For me, I need to have a job that I can perform well, take pride in, respect the company and my co-workers and continue to learn from. Being passionate about your work doesn't mean it's your one true passion, just that you can be enthusiastic and maintain that enthusiasm even through the inevitable crap parts of the…

Agreed, I had to do this to combat ridiculous a/c bills in an old house. 72 degrees became a luxury item. I now run it a 82 when I'm not there (for the animals), 78 the rest of the time. Occasionally I"ll drop it down to 76 if I'm sick or something, but rarely. It made a huge difference in the bill. Plus, keeping…

Spot on, for me, as well. But, rather negative. Guess it's still better than the axe-murder route.

I've also heard that there is marketing component at work. The more expensive the brand, the lower the size. A cheap 12 = expensive 6.

Would love to see this for Firefox. I've tried Helvetical, but it was too subtle for my needs. Helvetireader is perfect, though.

Try Elizabeth Moon. Her books have the double sins of being written by a female, with female protagonists, yet aren't coated with gooey girl cooties. The author has a strong military background, and it shows in her writing. She has series in both the sci-fi and the fantasy arenas.

No, she's not wearing it happily or easily. Remember that bit about being dropped into a male-dominated society? However, conceding the smaller battle on costuming can help you win the bigger war. Kinda hard to absorb an entire plot line from a cover.

We have a number of 6'2"+ people at our office, and one of the biggest things for them is to follow the monitor guidelines. That can improve posture, which reduces pain for the entire body.
