Agreed. Game of Thrones is about politics and power. The Sansa rape is about politics and power. The Duggars and the agenda of their Church is about political power.

I’m a little confused? Wouldn’t the kettle also boil at a lower temperature?

Nope, we have always cooked our rice in this way, with the exception of risotto.

Interesting. I have never put anything in the rice except water. What type of cuisine do you typically cook?

That’s funny. I manage to make the rice just fine. Who adds rice to the water? Rinse rice, add water to knuckle, gently bring to rolling boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 20 minutes ( lid on). You do have to keep an eye that there is sufficient water and that it doesn’t boil dry or boil over but that is not…

I’m going to guess that you just told an asian to eat less rice? That’s kinda funny.

Your snark loses it's snark when it reads as if you think WS is selling an apron made by Jacquard. It just means it is a fabric made with a jacquard pattern. "Listen, I can't have my apron woven with regular, peasant cotton. I need Jacquard to do it. Jacquard understands what I need from my cotton. There's a…

True that. On the other hand, celiacs get more than an irritable bowel.

what?

America is a joke because of the way it insists on being stupid despite having a decent President.

I've had 3 kids. I have no idea what a contraction even feels like. You most certainly do not have to wait for contractions to begin before having an epidural in the case of an induced labor. I have a very low pain threshold and the idea of a cesarean is abhorrent to me. I consider myself incredibly fortunate - I've…

Ill keep a close eye on the one that lives on milk ! She's already "Most Likely to Cast Shame on the Family".

This is all sorts of wonderful. I'm going to share it with my eldest. I gave my daughter the American Girl Book. She found it VERY interesting. When she was about 10 I overheard her telling her best friend who was reading the same book, on the phone " yada yada yada giggle yada OMG we have to use TAMPONS!!!!!". I cut…

8 years old ..nooooooooooooo. I thought 11 was early. i have 8 year old twins..they still believe in the tooth fairy. And Santa. And the Esater Bunny.

"But how often when plastic surgery is lampooned in pop culture are people making fun of huge fake asses? Is that a thing? No. It's not. " I'm not going to disagree with your argument except to say despite the publicity given to the terrible outcomes of illegal butt injections, the non stop media attention given…

First words out of one daughter after the show.." I want to be Malificent for halloween". My reply " Sorry, you are going be a box troll ". Why? Because "whims" that change with the wind and each visit to the cinema...and box trolls are easier to make. I can get behind the crafting of an unreleased movie character.…

Don't agree with everything but those fairies were just annoying! No wonder Aurora wanted to move out ASAP.

I'm usually attuned to this kind of thing but it honestly did not occur to me when watching the film, that the cutting off of her wings was a metaphorical rape. I watched with three 8 year old girls and I guess I was watching through their eyes. Of course I can see how it it is being interpreted this way. There had…

Awesome cat! My cat went for my less than awesome father once. He was beating up on my mother and myself and siblings. Docile ol' Boo Boo went ballistic at him..fur,teeth and claws. I loved that cat to bits. Excuse me whilst I have a little cry .

Came over here from a discussion about Lorde & the paps- Here's a "sweet" FB page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bratty-S… I reported this over a year ago for the upskirt photos of a child … but is it harrassment to call out a (then) 7 year old, as a slut, a bitch and tell her to screw herself? The photos of…
