However, negotiating on sanctions before the election I believe *is* illegal. Which Don essentially confessed to, as he said they discussed adoptions by US parents of Russian children, which refers to the Magnitsky Act which imposed sanctions on Russia, with Russia responding by suspending adoptions.

I’m confused by this. I’ve not tried Halo Top, but good ice cream has no “artificial ingredients”. It’s just milk, sugar, cream, flavorings, etc. Sugar free or low sugar ice cream tends to have stabilizers b/c there’s no sugar to stabilize. Sugar is hygroscopic and thus doesn’t freeze as easily. Without sugar or…

WOW that is. intense.

YAS. so much yas. When I discovered this column in the stack of magazines at the bottom of my sister’s closet, I snuck them out in 2s and 3s to devour them all. Schadenfreude...

I’m totally with you. And I agree, the garb for leading women in films in general (and especially action movies, hello running in heels in Jurassic World?!?!) is always ridiculous. I just tend to have a streak of devil’s advocate that I can’t always suppress.

yeah, the title gave me a bad taste. That said, I’ll prolly still go see it; a solid 50% of movie titles are utter shite.

I mean, I don’t totally disagree, but then again, James Bond is always in his custom made very fitted tuxedo or something similar. So it’s not as if the male versions are fighting in sweats.

um... seriously? Do you also think that the cultural practice of FGM merits respect?

“for some reason”

... don’t think Napoleon wore heels. Are you thinking of Louis XIV? Napoleon was actually reasonably tall for the day.

i think it was a vacation time cash out. A lot of companies offer that, the amount sounds high, but maybe he never took vacation ever? Regardless, it’s pretty fucked up that he’s eligible for cash out, but I don’t know what the official policies are...

probably in comparison to other countries in Africa, though, I’d wager.

WUT

lol, yeah, too much fluoride can cause discoloration. Sorry to hear about your disfigurement. :(

thank you thank you thank you

right, but the fact that the NHS ultimately foots the bill gives them the right to weigh in on whether or not it’s a wise choice.

I think it’s because the UK is a single payer healthcare system. They’re petitioning because the parents won’t be the ones paying for the treatment, the NHS will. This is one of the downsides of single payer (not to say it’s not a great system) it just means, if the patients isn’t the one footing the bill, they…

it’s cool that your experience with a shelter dog went great. It does not, however, give you the right to tell others that this is the only way it can ever go. Obviously, the person quoted here is an expert, you, are not.

my issue with the concept of “aging gracefully” is that people who look their age and show it aren’t “graceless”, they might just have genes that mean their skin wrinkles more. It seems like a value judgement which strikes me as unkind.

I will NOT fight you as I too prefer cake, as I am human. Anyone who claims to prefer pie is clearly outing themselves as a pod person and must be destroyed.
