The makeup job/lighting seems to wash her out. She is much more attractive then this cover photo would suggest.

Even non-plus sizing is generally like that. A friend of mine is 5’7 and a size 8, her torso is very long so she has trouble finding things that fit right as well. I think it’s so many clothing designers designing for what they want women’s bodies to look like versus what is really happening.

The professor types- bah. My husband is an actual practicing engineer and he has the ability to fix his truck himself. And if he can’t do it, he hires a professional and watches them out of interest.

Ahme, I fucking LOVE Andales. It is the best people watching in PV. I mean, where else can I go to watch people my parents’ age make out on a dancefloor? Also, who goes there to eat (food)?

Am I remembering correctly isn’t the character Jack Reacher supposed to be like a giant of a man? Tom Cruise is the wrong actor for that role.

I concur...I know it’s not saying much (anything important) but I had never heard of her before this so...it worked? I am sure there are many of us plebs out there who know Jay-Z and now his name is linked to hers (even negatively) and now I’m like, “What does she do? Let’s look her up” and she is gaining exposure,…

We have the same fantasy.

I won’t use anything less than 0.7mm. I love a thick line.

I work Downtown Calgary, within 3 minutes walk from my office, there are no less than 4 Starbucks. It’s insane. I came here from Edmonton, where Tim Horton’s is even more ubiquitous.

My friend got that a lot when he was a sahd - in 2007! People are weird.

I stayed home for 11 years. It was great. I am back at work now, and get to have those chats with the other working moms. I don’t see my “stay-at-home-mom” friends ever. I don’t know if it’s a because they do almost all of their socializing M-F during the day, or if they cut me out. My friends who worked while I was…

The numbers are kind of iffy. I read an Irish Times article that said a lot of the ‘no” supporters are polling as ‘undecided’ because they don’t want to be public about their vote. Fingers crossed!

OMG, was it 1945?

Waht about that time we tried to have an Asian-looking woman represent scientists inthe bills and everyone was ll “no way! that’s racist and we had to change the appearance of the woman on the bill? Canada, we’re so fucked up.

Ahhh, I knew there had been mention of a Circus. Is it weird that I know the theoretical wedding plans of a couple I have never met IRL? I feel like I read so much of Mark’s work that I know all these little tidbits. I need to get out more.

We used to fly 3-4 times a year between Western Canada and London, Heathrow (so only about 9 hours flight), when my son was between 0-4 yrs. The other two have gone transatlantic a couple of times, between the ages of 1-7. And yes, when they are just learning to walk they don’t necessarily “want” to stay seated, but…

Maybe this sting inspired the Red Wedding - it happened in 1990, and he wrote the series in 1991...

I thought it was a French Circus theme? I am so confused.

I agree. I think this is a case of “look at that bitch over there eating crackers.”

I replied to another person re: this. I have flown transatlantic with the kids, and we do remain seated and buckled most of the time. I should have clarified - seatbelts are fastened the entire time we are seated. We do make quick trips to the lav to pee, of course. And the other poster asked about poop- we have been…
