Well, of course it’s not Josh’s fault. It’s Satan’s fault for tempting Josh into his fortress, remember?

Does anyone else suspect that perhaps Anna isn’t allowed to leave, even if she’d like to? That is, she’s staying with some of the rest of the Duggar family who are possibly preventing her from leaving and tarnishing the family’s good Christian image even more?

When he was younger, I’d tell him before his shower to:

#notallwhitewomen

Another mother of a seventh grader here. My son still asks almost daily why he needs to shower, brush his teeth, and change his clothes every day. How this is still a mystery to him is beyond me.

Maybe not, and certainly not everyone does. But plenty do feel super comfortable with letting it all out with total strangers. I don’t get it.

I have heard this my entire life. Several people have said to me, “When we first met I thought you were a real bitch, but once I got to know you I thought you were awesome!” Um, thanks? I’m a dedicated introvert and I try to be as welcoming and friendly as possible, but it just not in my personality to vomit out my…

Worse things have probably happened at a human frat party, believe it or not.

Is it just me, or have bears everywhere been having a blast this summer? A bear in Georgia broke into a work van and ate the workers’ lunches. There was a bear in Florida who gorged on a bag of dog food in a garage and later slept it off in the backyard. Now there are these bears and their pool party. This summer has…

Oh, I get what you’re saying.

He? They’re both women.

Did the couple get their shilling?

Holy shit, that sounds awesome. A friend of mine and I wanted to take a cross country road trip across the US when we graduated from high school, but our parents weren’t especially enthused.

While Elizabeth’s life will probably plenty of amazing material, I think it’s unusual that Netflix is undertaking a rather beloved and still-living queen. I do wonder if the script will touch on some palace gossip, namely supposed extramarital affairs taken on by both Elizabeth and Philip.

I’m honestly shocked that this wasn’t proposed already by Iowa Representative (and cause of most horrified facepalms among Iowa residents) Steve King. I’ll bet he’s kicking himself for not coming up with this.

Good question, and I don’t have an answer. I just put forth this bit as it related to the story and it was an interesting discussion point.

There’s a building on the campus of my alma mater (Iowa State) named after Carrie Chapman Catt, a very famous suffragist and herself an ISU grad. The building itself is very old, one of the oldest on campus. Originally known as Botany Hall, it was remodeled in the mid 1990s, when I was a student. When the news came…

I really do think variety is the spice of life when it comes to guys’ looks. But if I *had* to choose all men on earth sporting one look for the rest of time and eternity, it would be this guy’s look. Soulful eyes, playful curly hair, not-too-shaggy beard...yes, please.

I remember that episode of M*A*S*H*. My mom probably does too, as she had to explain to a confused little girl the meaning of “hysterectomy” and how a rabbit would be able to tell if Margaret was pregnant.

I consider myself weirdly fortunate to have come of age in the early to mid 90s when AIDS awareness and prevention was at its zenith. The “use a condom EVERY TIME or you’ll definitely get pregnant or a horrible disease!!!!!!!” message was really hammered into the heads of people my age. Abstinence-only education was…
