I spent a large amount of time during my brother’s wedding weekend preventing my sister and one of the bride’s childhood best friends from coming to blows (it was totally instigated by the bride though). I’m all for no drama, but sometimes, you can’t avoid it, and you have to hope people can act like grown ups or at…

I always forget it’s just the one person. For some reason. in my head Sarah and Rachel are played by the same person, but the other clones are just different people. I have no good reason for this feeling though.

No, it’s the same amount of school time: 4 years after college, and sadly, I’m not kidding. Some people think, I don’t know, it’s a learn-on-the-job thing. More often, though, people think it’s a two-year community college degree because they mix up vet and vet tech. I smile and explain, and inside, I think about my…

I have childhood trauma from this. Like when I was thirteen, I just wanted my slightly longer than shoulder-length hair trimmed, and I walked out sobbing with chin-length hair.

7. Please don’t ask me, “Did you go to school for this this?”

At least that would be ideologically consistent. As it stands, the only nanny state that conservatives seem to be on board with is the one that micromanages women’s sexuality and reproductive choices.

It has an emergency exemption, but what constitutes said emergency is not spelled out. T

I’m sure they also have a waiting/ cooling off period between firearm purchase and transfer....oh wait.

When you get your period, and you’re doubled over with cramps and generally hating life, do you ever look at the toilet before flushing your ‘pon and think about how beautiful your menstrual cycle is?

I think that’s true. He definitely message someone and offered to kidnap a woman for a sum of money, and there was info about her on his computer, and I think it was the same woman he met with or planned to meet. I also thought there was a little more to the story than chatting about supremely creepy fantasies.

I’ve been so curious about these, and I think this has just convinced me to give it a try. I tweeze the area, but it is a PITA. I’ve tried threading, but I can’t quite get the hand of the technique when doing it on my own face.

After a few times, tweezing it does not hurt that much. I have fairly awful reactions to most depilatory creams, and I was never brave enough to shave it, so I’ve been tweezing mine for years. It’s kind of a PITA, but it’s not especially painful (and I’m kind of a wimp).

No kidding. My niece loathes baby dolls. My nephew loves them, but when he plays with the, his father, my father and everyone else mocks him. He’s three. His favorite dress up outfit was a pink sparkly tutu that his sister outgrew. One day, he dressed in it, huge sunglasses and a bunch of play necklaces, and I laughed…

Another girl told my niece that when she was 4 and wore a hockey jersey to school. What followed was a nightmare year in which she screamed if she wasn’t allowed to wear a dress and looked at any piece of clothing that was not pink or purple or pale yellow with open suspicion. Sadly, my mother and my sister encouraged…

That disturbed me too, and then I thought about a friend of the family. He is a Catholic, and probably would have said abortion is never okay to a pollster as a knee-jerk response right up until two years ago when his daughter had a life-threatening pregnancy, and he pretty much begged her to terminate once he…

I agree. I think talking about scenarios is, in and of itself, an anti-choice position because you are deciding what is and is not a “legitimate abortion.” It’s one thing to ask, “Would you personally consider an abortion ethical if xyz?” and another to ask “Should the government ban or criminalize abortion in the…

I’m saying that that’s a tough question without a clear cut answer. Do you mean some possibility of survival if you spend 6 figures plus and have a good NICU or high likliehood of survival if you just gave birth and provided no extraordinary measures or something in between?

20 weeks? No, that’s before there’s even the real potential for lung function. I think with intensive care, it’s more like 24 weeks (the record is, I think, just over 21 weeks), and you’re still looking at terrifyingly long odds and a decent chance of profound health problems even if you manage to get survival at that…

Yeah, like maybe, what he said when she ignored him was, “Excuse me ma’am, but your shirt seems to be on fire,” and then, he spit on her to put out the fire, and when that didn’t work, he thought maybe blood would help. I’m sure it was all totally rational.

It’s also surprisingly effective with dissection images, especially if those images happen to be penis or testicle dissection pictures. I learned this in vet school when I was on a train, and this guy would not stop reading over my shoulder, criticizing my reading material and refusing to take a hint or an outright…
