Jajajaja made my day! I saw what you did there!

This. Thank you. People are getting up in arms about an ad that clearly is being fun and doesn't take itself seriously. It's whole point is to emphasize the absurdity of the whole "I AM MANLY CAVEMAN ::beats chest::" thing.

When I was growing up, my mom swore by this stuff, and still does. It's like magic and I always thought it smelled nice — not harsh or chemically, but not obnoxiously sweet either. Love it.

The sad part about the political processes here in America is that we really believe that we are super duper free, but people can't — or don't wish to — see the way our liberties are being slowly chipped at every day. I so desperately wished that our government processes were revamped so that the greater good for the…

I have a friend who has 2 adorable sons, Jacob and Liam. Jacob is almost 2 1/2, Liam is almost 1 1/2, and JJ does not like sharing. If Liam picks something up, even if JJ wasn't using he, he freaks out and says, "NO!!! /Mooooom/Daaaaad/Kisteeeema, I want Liam to have this one!" Basically, he actively tries to cover…

Agreed. And even in Mexico, everything varies regionally. When I studied abroad in the Yucatan (southern Mexico) most of my food revolved around fish/seafood and a lot of fruit. The city I lived in wasn't far from the coast, so fresh fish, etc was always easy to come by and super cheap. A fruit stand was a few blocks…

I'm sorry you get that... I've never had that experience, but then again, I never wear make-up. not even liner or mascara. It's just never been my thing. I do agree, though that it's a shame and really obnoxious that you feel almost obligated to wear it so as not to have to deal with the haranguing about how "sickly"…

Thanks for the advice!!! That's why I was trying to stick to the more widely known arts, because I'd hate to relocate and I not be able to find somewhere to train within an hour of where I live. I'm pretty happy with what I have found though, thankfully.

Thank you!! I hadn't actually considered the angle advantages, actually. You are making me be all wishy-washy again (in a good way!)!!!

I SAW THAT EPISODE!!! That was a great show that didn't last long enough. It's how I found out about KM and have been researching and considering learning it since then.

Yeah, right now I'm not sure what I want to do because I don't know if I want more striking or grappling... However, I do know that my top four choices right now are: Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-jutsu, Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai. I also know that whatever I do learn I definitely want to pair it with boxing.

I've heard that Judo is a ton of fun and super awesome.

I wanna do a martial art. I don't know what to pick, and I need money obviously... Hopefully I get a job soon.

This. I just finished my MA and I too am a black woman... From one no-longer-hurt-by-this-shit woman to another, go girl!

I feel good today. This is kind of a new thing since the past couple of months have been really rough. BUT! Tonight is a good night, and I am so thankful for it. It feels nice to feel nice. :-)

You know, the sad part is that it still isn't as bad as what I heard suggested on the radio today. I'm from Cleveland, and WTAM 1100 is a local news-talk station, and also a subsidiary of FOX News and ClearChannel Communications (read: it oozes conservativism). My father listens to it all the time, and he leans pretty…

Awesome! Thanks!! I don't know the first thing about what makes a dojo (or any other martial arts practice space) reputable. I'll take you up on that!

Modern Family is sooooo great. I love the entire cast. So hard! lol

Her rationale is the exact reason why I don't want to have biological children — seriously every word. I want children, but not my own offspring, as it were. Like she said, there are enough people on the planet. Besides that, I feel like there are plenty of children already here who deserve as much love and affection…

I know!! That's actually what prompted me to seriously consider learning it. I love UFC (thanks to the bf, again) and it seems so many of the fighters have at least some rudimentary knowledge of MT, so that means something is going right with it...
