In the books Jamie came across (to me, though it's been many years since I read it) as a muscle bound wall of intensity and charisma. His gentleness is endearing, surprising and really erotic in the package in which it's presented. The show portrayal of him, while not bad, lacks the intensity and magnetic charisma I…

Detroit, Charlotte, Columbus and Indianapolis are all larger than DC. It's only 23 on the top 50 largest US cities, so not knowing it's heavily populated if you've never been there doesn't seem that bizarre. Certainly doesn't require insults.

It's possible she needs counseling. This isn't a reflection of your parenting at all. Some people are prone to things like generalized anxiety disorders and it can manifest really young in ways that aren't always recognized by parents. Fixating on something and worrying excessively about it sometimes is a symptom of…

Why bother drinking a lot of wine if carrots up the butthole will be off the table?

Why bother if carrots up the butthole will be off the table?

The problem with this series being turned into TV is not that it's about bondage and D/s. It's a story about non-consensual sex, slavery, and mutilation. That is not BDSM by any stretch of the imagination.

No, Southerners say "did you get your pictured made," instead of "did you get your picture taken." (Or "Bobby-Joe got his school pictures made today," or "I got pictures made for our wedding that were awful, I wish we'd hired a different guy," etc.) I've never heard "make a picture" in Tennessee.

But he's not doing the actual singing for the movie, right? Right? Just acting in it and hopefully lip-syncing?

Agree 100% on all of it. Give me long sleeves shirts. So frustrated now that I'd even pay a premium for them.

Yes. It's supposed to be safe because all they have is your picture, first name and that you are in their geographic area (I think with in x miles or something). They don't get more info unless you agree to match, but I have a very distinctive, unusual first name so I deleted it right away, since it doesn't even…

Saves manufacturers money. Cheaper fabric, plus you buy more. It's gross.

Honestly, I think they look unattractive on most people and it feels like a way for manufacturers to get away with using less fabric to save money. I think they are fine on like nice 1960s style sheath dress or something, but I want my dress shirts and t-shirts to actually cover me in the cold season, and if it's hot…

Tinder matches you through letting you "swipe" through Facebook profiles of other members. It's just pics and names until you "match" and then depending on your privacy settings you're pretty much sharing everything. Tinder uses Facebook chat as it's communication method once you match.

I do as well, but I still end up with $25 sweaters that last a decade (granted I bought hem a decade ago, so not equal to today's $25 sweaters) and $90 sweaters that pill terribly after a couple wearings. I can usually judge shirts and blazers, but jeans are just as hit and miss for me as all kinds of knits. I wish…

And it is so hit and miss. Much of the higher end stuff is just terrible as the cheap stuff, so you never completely know what you're getting.

It's paper and it's edible, but bleh, I always remove it. This says it's okay to eat: http://www.creminelli.com/storing-salami…

My reading comprehension is very bad today apparently. Ugh.

Kimberly Clark recently bought Scott, so maybe they are pushing it?

Yes, I've been saying since the beginning of this that whether or not Egan was abused (and I have no reason to believe he wasn't) the way he handled and presented this case was doing disservice to victims all along. Because we know some things he said weren't true (picking a state that takes a minimum of 6 hours to…

As I understand it there was previously no one to hold him accountable, but they've restructured the entire church organization, and now there's some board that he has to answer to and they aren't interested in keeping him as the face of the church since he keeps fucking up.
