Not that I advocate genocide, but I swear that the only way to stop fighting in that particular part of the world is to just nuke everyone from orbit. Of course, then you'd probably still have a Palestinian cockroach throwing rocks at an Israeli cockroach in the middle of a nuclear wasteland.

I think it's about picking your battles. Don't start a fight and set off a tantrum over things that don't matter. Kids need an outlet, and if all they ever hear is "No!" they will misbehave like crazy. If you allow them to run and scream outside in the yard where it is appropriate, they won't (usually) choose to do…

I used to love them too, but once they started giving me issues, I was done with contacts permanently. I've tried multiple brands and types, but they all feel like having a rock in my eye now.

If you include turtleneck sweater dresses:

I don't know, the right turtleneck can be pretty sexy.

No, it is saying "don't have unprotected sex." There is no slut-shaming involved whatsoever. There are so many places to get free condoms and even free testing these days that there really is no excuse not to use them. I don't normally use the term, but since you brought it up, even the world's biggest "slut" is…

Yes, but it's significantly more preventable than most chronic health problems. Generally, ignoring things like accidental needle sticks or sexual assault, if someone has HIV, it is because someone was irresponsible. If you aren't doing anything risky (unprotected sex, sharing needles, etc.) there is a very low…

Fortunately, it is a very preventable virus. It sure sucks for those who manage to get infected though.

This is my wife. Once a year, Kohls may have some clothes in their junior's section that look professional enough for her to wear to work and that fit her. Otherwise, she pretty much just has to sew them herself.

I prefer bottom freezers. With my height and normal top freezers, the freezer blocks my line of sight of the top 2 1/2 shelves. Unless I get on my knees, I can't see most of the top shelf. I'm in the fresh food section much more often, so it is way more convenient for me to have that on top.

I bought one. I wasn't impressed.

Two (semi)relevant points:

I wouldn't do this to a mattress that is still under warranty. You could potentially void the warranty.

Not saying I agree/disagree, but aren't we over-sensationalizing this just a tad? Last time I checked, Plan B was like $50. Most people have at least a $15 Rx co-pay anyway, so we're talking an extra $35. That is a small price to pay for a night of indiscretion.

Russian girls are pretty good at running in heels. I've seen them sprint after the bus in stilettos that most American girls could hardly walk in.

They will wear skirts as a dress uniform for people working in the police station, or for parades. You'd never see someone on duty on the streets in a skirt though. In fact, I don't think I ever even saw any female officers on the street. Most cities are so dangerous that the guys go out in groups of three.

Nope. I've stood on that exact spot. It is most definitely in Russia.

I posted elsewhere, but this is really close to the university. That might explain the picture. There is also a police academy nearby with young college students.

Seeing that picture makes me miss Yekaterinburg. Of course, I don't think I ever saw any police officers dressed like that. This is most likely a bunch of college girls dressing up in costumes. This picture was taken close enough to campus for that to be a reasonable explanation. The crime rate in Yekat isn't bad…
