I turned it on around 8:15 just to look for a minute... did not plan on watching because I love the Mary Martin version and hate re-makes in general... and my sweet sleeping dog got up, un-curled himself, moved to a spot on the bed where he could see better, and sat there staring at the TV as though he was watching…

this case is going to determine what is interpreted as an actual threat

Yeah. Ravens fan here, and this made my blood boil. Not okay. Beyond ashamed to call this my team. Big problem here. They announced a partnership with the House of Ruth in August, I believe - before the footage actually came out - and I really hope there is some *real* education going on in that organization. …

That was exactly the part that just made me stop. I read it back to myself again and then realized I'd been holding my breath. That was the most upsetting part of it all.

You and Chattygal mentioned that this was done just before the holiday, possibly in the hope of it getting buried because of the holiday... my guess is that they knew it would be unsealed at this point, given the increased scrutiny as of late and the passage of time (plus, it seems a different judge can unseal the…

Her job must take her forever to do. You know, her job. On the Hill. As Communications Director for a congressman. The kind of thing where it's your job to realize that nobody in the White House walks into a televised public event without someone approving what you're wearing. (And also, where you're supposed to…

Seriously. Isn't this woman a Communications Director for a US Representative? Does she really think that Sasha and Malia Obama go to public events - televised events - without someone, somewhere, approving what they wear? Regardless of whether they choose their own clothes, use a stylist, etc., if they were…

Me too - especially now that I've upgraded to iphone 6 and I still find it to feel too big to me (even after over a month of use). Way more comfortable to hold it vertically, which is the way I usually hold my phone.

Yup, completely violates the rules of phonetics. I know they probably care a WHOLE LOT about this, but it's making me mad that these people are homeschooling and therefore in charge of teaching basic literacy skills.

Ridiculous.

Whoa. Okay, my feeling like an idiot has now given way to a feeling of horror. Why would they do that to a child???? (I mean, I suppose I could ask why they do any number of the things they do to a child, or children, really. But UGH - was that really necessary?)

I'm going to ask a really stupid question... I don't watch the show, but... I keep reading the stories on them, and this whole time, um... that's how I've been pronouncing her name in my head. Jinger, like it rhymes with "ringer." So... I take it, it doesn't rhyme with "ringer?" How is it pronounced, then? I feel…

This is awesome - will have to look into them. Thanks!

Cool, I've never seen those before! Do they melt and "disappear" when they're done, or are you left with a puddle of wax? I've burned essential oils in those oil burners over tealights before but this looks like it could be more manageable (although the trick would be to find scents that my husband doesn't find "too…

So you posted a link to research without even checking to see if the research you posted backed up what you meant for it to illustrate?

Or these.

What's a wax warmer? How does it work? (I mean, I assume it, um, warms wax, but... for those of us who know nothing about these sorts of things... help a girl out?)

Apparently a magnesium deficiency contributes to restless legs (also to muscle cramping? I sometimes get weird intense random foot cramps at night). One of my docs recommended taking a magnesium supplement before bed (he likes the "Magnesium Calcium +" by Rainbow Light, though I can't remember why at this point -…

Hate to admit this but I'm not nearly as good about cleaning it as I should be... how often do you do it? Do you just use vinegar/water?

I'm not sure what this is saying, really, except that the research is entirely inconclusive...
