I know many of my friends with wider hips tend to order from US online retailers and have it delivered to Korea, since the size fits better.

I hear ya. My mom went through hell during menopause and her doctors weren't very well equipped to deal with it. She was going through it before hormonal treatment was the norm, so it was not a great ride for her (pretty much debilitating symptoms for a few years before it got sorted out). I'm glad science has…

People are more upset that you don't say "Merry Christmas". I have yet to hear anyone be upset for "Merry Christmas" but I've heard people getting really upset about someone saying "happy holidays". Case in point, lady who got punched for saying "happy holidays":

Like LesterSue said, they often claim "no budget" being the problem for the supposed backlog. But often times rape kits are just forgotten or deemed unnecessary (for good or bad reasons) by whichever law enforcement official deems it so. It's a very subjective way of dealing with rape cases and although getting a…

This is pretty much what my partner and I do. We decide which day of the week we will clean and divvy up the chores equally. That way it's no longer a "who is more tolerant of this mess" and more of a routine thing we do together.

I know... Poor Jimmy. He wishes he could be a pop star.

Haha, that's awesome. Btw, it took me the longest time to realize that "patient Sickasshit" was just an alias. I thought "wow, what an unfortunate name!"

Thank you. I'm glad you think so. :)

I went to a high school in which I (Korean-American) and a Chinese exchange student were the only Asians in the school. Was referred to as "china girl" and everyone thought that me and exchange student were siblings for pretty much the entire time I was there. We didn't even have the same last name nor did we take…

In general, for a PoC, the "where you are from" question is almost always followed up with "No, I mean, where are you really from?" It becomes racist when people don't take your answer at face value and alienate you as an outsider, even if you were born and raised in that country, even if several generations of your…

And no one is calling you evil for that. I think what people are trying to point out is that, in general, PoC tend to be wary of being asked "where are you from" because of the treatment they receive after the answer. It's great that you are willing to get to know people and reach out to them and no one is calling…

You are a good person and I wish all people were like you in regards to this issue.

I think what SillyF means that if you ask a white person where they are from, it is taken at face value but for a PoC, it is often followed up with skepticism and the most annoying question, "No, where are you really from?"

Someone who is a 2nd generation immigrant who is not a PoC would never be asked the follow up question of "No, where are you really from?". It's not as insidious as assuming someone is an evil racist. But regardless of the harmless intentions, when one emphasizes on "really", it feels like I'm being accused of lying…

My partner and I do this too. We watch it on Sunday morning over coffee.

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes! They got their hoppy feet and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? Why do they need such good eye sight anyway?!!!!

Thanks for the link! (although wishing I hadn't read the comments. UGH)

My dog was a really picky eater too. We switched brands for her food and tried mixing it in with the old stuff and she would grab a mouthful, spit it out on the ground and just pick out the old food.

Haha, you're welcome. I can't remember the greenhouse, but there was a functioning garage and dance floor! And some kind of balcony pavilion thingy. Lord, good times. At the time, I thought that dance floor was so technologically impressive. lol
