However much doctors and nurses in West Africa know about Ebola, they're still limited by lack of resources. All the knowledge in the world can't help you if you don't have proper protective gear in which to do your work.

If it were actually airborne, a fuck ton more people than these two health care workers would be symptomatic by now, including Duncan's family. The two people who ended up sick are about the two people you'd expect: health care workers who would have been in close proximity to a symptomatic person's bodily fluids,…

She's pretty obviously referring to the next time (or a future time) she gets pregnant and is able/willing to carry it to term, not anything to do with the afterlife or lack thereof. I'm also not seeing anything in the letter that warrants your over-the-top, downright vicious vitriol.

In the evening at my parents' house, my dad will have a soda and a snack of nuts, usually peanuts or cashews. Their dog hears him opening the can of soda and goes right to his lap, because she associates the soda can opening with immediate nuttage.

Not to mention a woman who has the personality of a piece of driftwood with some kelp stuck to it. And I say that as someone who's about 95% sure the Robsten thing was a publicity stunt and not an actual relationship.

So because you see her films for whatever reason, I'm not allowed to see them for a different reason, including admiration for different cast members? (I actually did see Welcome to the Rileys for Leo and Gandolfini.) What am I supposed to be "getting over," exactly? I'm well within my right to say I think she's a…

I've seen all but a few of her films, yeah. I didn't realize that seeing every single one of them was necessary to conclude that she's a terrible actress. And no one held a gun to my head; rather, I wanted to see the film for other actors (Adventureland, Into the Wild, Snow White and the Huntsman, Panic Room, Welcome…

It's not the smiling, it's emoting at all. Namely in roles where she's being paid to emote.

And in my experience, they're not even THAT cheap, unless you're going to a few specific cities during a very specific time frame.

Have you ever had a proper Sunday roast? :-(

Super cute until it claws your fucking arm into ribbon.

This was the experience in our family when my grandmother was infirm. My uncles were fawned over whenever they deigned to visit, but my mother (with whom my grandmother lived for the final six months of her life) was subject to armchair quarterbacking and nagging.

I think this is what it actually is. It's not that the marriages are better, necessarily. It's that the "sunk cost" is so great that people would rather stick it out than admit that the $30K party was all for naught.

The restaurant should have had a changing table in the loo. The woman should not have changed the diaper in the dining area. There are no winners here, although I think the sanitation and hygiene of everyone else in the restaurant probably supersedes the pain in the ass it'd be to go out and do it in the car.

In the UK, if there's a swan on the river, they'll postpone rowing events until the bird leaves. They don't fuck around.

True story. My friend and I were cooking fajitas for dinner once in a dorm in Wales of all places. And the seasoning packet we'd gotten at Sainsbury had the actual pronunciation of "fajitas" on the back. Classic.

Canadians def talk like that. And the Brits use "year," not "grade."

I actually think it's B. I'm guessing he likes the idea of some lady seeing him as a "challenge," and messaging him to beg him to give her a chance because of how "unattainable" he seems. If that makes sense.

Unless I'm misreading, the photos were of a male teacher. "Mr. Rosa ..."

We'd never opt out. We both definitely want kids!
