This is so damn crazy not least of which is that almost all of these people grew up in a world where they didn't have to deal with these diseases because everyone was fucking vaccinated. They have no clue. Like the other day, my 2 yo nephew was sick and complaining that his eyes hurt. My mom gave me an ominous look,…

I had dinner with my parents last night, and my mom and I were clearing plates while my dad was still eating, so I guess we're weird.

No idea. Dain is almost like young Gerard Depardieu, but they would probably cast someone more conventionally handsome, and it just wouldn't work.

Or Loretta Chase's Carsington books, or really any of Loretta Chase's books

Or a "Who Is Lady Whistledown?" theme for comic effect. They can even forget the later books (because I have), but the first four? I would be so excited for that.

I somehow missed it, and I'm kind of glad because the first paragraph of this article is going to give me nightmares.

I have/ had this, and I really hope you find the trigger for you because its awful. My hair still sheds a lot , probably because I also have psoriasis, but not like when it was falling out in clumps, which was fucking terrifying, and everyone was like,, "eliminate stress," and I was like, "You fucking try not to…

I would even be okay with the basic premise if it weren't meant to be an appealing relationship. Like a Twilight send up with a similar plot that was meant to show how fucking awful that relationship was when you took away the sparkly vampires could have been interesting. Instead, it's just the same terrible…

It's so sad. I actually had a world-class chem teacher who told me I was her best student and saw that I got the Chem award at awards night. Sadly, she left and I was stuck taking Advanced Chem with a man who understood less than we did and constantly called me a, "whiner" because I would ask questions, which he…

Yikes! I just looked at the picture of that huge baby, looked at my cat, who weighs 16 lbs, and imagined something with a head the size of that baby's and nearly the weight of giant cat coming out of my body and yeesh.... I just cannot even wrap my brain around it.

No kidding. I'm a veterinarian with a literature degree. The two are not mutually exclusive. And cultural literacy is nothing to sneeze at. I was seriously the only one in a large elective class who knew which countries fought in the Crimean War and origin of the name Bast.

I don't think it's wrong to feel uncomfortable, but I try not to let my own beliefs trample on the rights of others if possible. While I can and will defend the principle, I find the thought of aborting a healthy pregnancy at a point when delivery is possible morally repugnant. I just don't feel qualified to push my…

Yup, getting pregnant is just like buying a Porsche. I'm totally sure the rates of accidental Porsche buying are the same as the rates of unplanned pregnancy. Horrible.

I now understand why my cat is always stealing my eyeliner pencil. He's pissed off about appropriation.

It works best when coupled with the aspirin birth control package. For less than two dollars, you have comprehensive birth control and maternity care.

Actually they aren't even really concerned then or they'd cover prenatal care. Mainly, they are interested in forcing women who have sex to "face the consequences" of their actions. This just adds increased financial consequence.

I never read the books either, but I did read Jenny Trout's recaps: http://jennytrout.com/?page_id=5720 which I found a recommendation for on Jez a long time ago and found hilarious. I think if you're even thinking about seeing the movie or if you hate read/watched Twilight, they are definitely worth a read.

Or guess weight... gah. I've overhead young guys talk about how anything over like 120 is gross unless she's like really tall and looked around to see that most of the women in view, including quite a few of the ones they'd been eyeing, absolutely weighed more than 120, some quite a bit more.

That's what I was thinking. I pretty much always have a tampon with me just in case, and a lot of times, there's a pad in my bag too. I guess maybe then they'd just confiscate it? Or make you prove you weren't menstruating? IDK.

Great thought :). Make sure to ask first, though. Some shelters build really cool hidey boxes out of PVC so don't need disposable ones.
