My hubs bought me a used luxury car for the same price as all of O's favorite things, give or take a couple hundred bucks. I'll take my car over all those things.

Know what would hurt these companies more than knowing what's in their products? Stop accepting the "beauty" industry's attacks on your self esteem. Develop the confidence to go make-up free every day. You're already beautiful. Make-up is just "false advertising" and a lousy stand-in for self-confidence.

You can't have it both ways. Women and teenage girls are smart enough to decide what they want for their bodies, but too dumb to figure out that a crisis pregnancy center does not offer medical care?! Yes, we need laws to hold these places accountable, but the mental gymnastics astound me.

I so love that dress on the left that I still possess this very page, ripped from a Delia's catalog back in the day.

Having worked many a thankless retail job myself, I can say with 98% certainty that the reason the item couldn't be located in the first place was because an employee was too lazy to put something where it belonged, or couldn't wait for one of those inventory scanning devices to find the SKU#, so they just shoved it…

About 750 Oregonians have chosen to end their lives this year. ETA: *through physician assisted euthanasia.

If you need further education on why blackface isn't ok, you could start educating yourself by searching "Al Jolson blackface" on an image search engine. Blackface is not ok. Ever. Read up about the history of blackface, the civil rights movement, lynchings, etc. I live in a state that is still fighting to integrate…

For a moment, I thought that was a condom, not a cracker.

I read today that 750 Oregonians with terminal illnesses have ended their lives on their own terms this year. Why is Brittany Maynard getting so much shit, and not the other 750 Oregonians?

Thank you for an **intelligent** response to this. Yelling, "Blackface= racist!! Shut up racist!!" does absolutely nothing to educate the people who think it's cute or harmless to wear blackface. (This "yelling" is what most commenters seem to be doing tonight. Eh, it's Halloween, they're probably drunk...) Thank…

This year, I saw a little girl from India dressed as Elsa from Frozen, a black boy dressed as Harry Potter, and a girl of Asian descent dressed as some other Disney princess. None of these kids tried to whiten their faces. I could clearly tell who all these kids were dressed as without the kids being the race of the…

If these people say God decides when you die your "natural" death, then why do they seek medical treatment at all? Western medicine is pretty darn unnatural. I'm trying really hard to follow their logic, but it's all about as logical as a screen door on a submarine.

Her mother was the one who encouraged the sea sponge thing. *cringe*

But those embryos are Christian until corrupted by their godless heathen parents!!!

We treat our pets with more mercy than our families in regard to dying. People with terminal illnesses should be able to make the choice for themselves how they want to die— without being forced to suffer until the end. I respect both choices, and it is no one's business but the ill person and possibly their family.

Saying hello to passersby boils down to a cultural and geographic difference. If we were living in NYC or LA, or heck, even Tucson or Kansas City, I would not teach her to say hi to people on the streets.

Gross! I keep my "dirties" in a bucket full of water with a lid so no one has to see or smell my bloody rags. I dump it at the end of the day in the sink, then proceed to wash the pads in the laundry. Tampons get slightly different treatment as far as laundering goes, to ensure I don't introduce any funky bacteria…

I will bleed around anything except non-applicator tampons. Every woman has a different shape. I will proudly continue to finger myself to put in a tampon.

Recovering Catholic here. I left around the same time Kat did.

Hoarding. That's how. Have you ever set foot in a hoarder's home? The smell is enough to make anyone gag.
