I'm reading Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses.

Do you live near a large university? I got my bike from a university bike program for $50 (and the bike was fully functional and less than three years old) because the university wanted to get rid of the bikes people left on campus and did not claim within a certain time period. Ask around.

Yep! Nice to see everyone living up to a trope...hopefully this is better than it appears to be.

Ugly Americans is on Netflix, too!

Oh! I tried to delete that comment because it was what the author wrote and I was going to explain it but didn't have time. When I read her colonic story I was like "RUN! RUN! RUN!" the entire time I was reading it.

"Often when I get overwhelmed like this, I become very sleepy and my impulses to fight or flee become dopey and hard to tell apart, and then I just end up sleepwalking through whatever the situation is and waiting for it to be over."

Right. The subtle racism is harder to document than the blatant kind.

I had people make up information from work that I had never said or did and then it was used against me in said professional setting so...watch your back/don't be naive. At the time, I couldn't think of a reason why the two people who made up the stuff would do so...I know a few reasons now. So I see what Willa…

Also be aware of this everywhere including the workplace: [mentalhealth.about.com]

I'm thinking of taking up hoodoo. Anyone know of any great books and/or practitioners?

a little bit dark, but definitely cute?

I like both of the faces!

I hate that faux concern bullshit that only pops up when someone disagrees with someone else in "power." It's really just a combination of a way to ignore your contribution/ideas and distract/undermine someone else. Yuck.

How about using a size based color coded hanger system? You can put tags or use different color rubber bands to signal similarly sized items, and then add signs to describe the sizes/colors.

Congrats on your results! Maybe try a plastic car covering to place over your car when you get home and shove it into a plastic bag when you leave. Enjoy your weekend.

I used to get heartburn when I smelled it in the coffee aisle. I now drink dark roast coffees made with a coffee press. I make large batches of coffee and store them in the fridge to heat up before work in the morning. I also add cinnamon to the coffee grounds or the warmed up coffee to keep it from making my stomach…

I've got some ideas. How are your ethics and/or morals?

Sometimes boring is the most wonderful thing in the world.

Thank you younger self for buying almost 2 liters of lime rum weeks ago.

I'm sorry this happened, but I glad you posted this. I have been reading jezebel for a while but the last two weeks it seems like people are having the same problem: a male putting his penis in a female's vagina either without explicit permission or explicitly against her verbally stated boundary.
