Well, there are cats, chocolate and alcohol, so a few anyway.

I love longhaired cats so much. She’s adorable.

I refuse to click to look at more of them, but unless they usually include more, the only tumor anyone is going to notice from a picture like that is going to be pretty fucking huge already. I guess maybe like skin cancer if there was a lesion there. IDK. All of my medical interactions with testicles is on animals,…

I am wearing athleisure attire and about to eat eggplant parm with wine. Also, Google spellcheck tells me athleisure is a real word, and I am ridiculously amused by that.

Bootcut yoga pants are my favorite pieces of clothing, but I’m with you otherwise. Also, buying new pants is cheaper and safer than surgery, butt I guess if it bothers someone that much and they have the money, it’s not my business. I also am not any example of body acceptance and did awful things to myself when in…

Seriously, changing diapers on babies with leggiings or tights is awful. I swear my sister used to put my niece in tights when I’d watch her just to fuck with me.

You aren’t supposed to fake it so much as cultivate a thankful heart and suppress all your unhappiness. Sometimes, you are just supposed to force a smile and bring your appropriate feelings to the forefront. The person who explained it to me was on about how cultivating a right expression can help you find your right…

You’re supposed to smile with your face, but if you’re a foul-tempered shrew, just your vagina will suffice. Your husband just won’t look at your ungrateful face. Shudder.

I missed that part too, but it is definitely in some awful fundamentalist book or other, possibly more. I think maybe, I had this explained during a discussion of Michael and Debbie Pearl’s abhorrent books on child raising and being a good wife.

No because Eve was made from Adam’s rib clearly. You are supposed to enthusiastically submit to sex and intuit when your husband wants it. When he doesn’t, your desires should just turn off. If they don’t, you need to pray more.

I don’t know about this guy in particular, but he seems to fit with the school of thought espoused by some prominent conservative Christians that it is a sin not t appear joyful when doing your duty. Like, they punish their kids for doing what they are told if the kids don’t seem sufficiently happy about it. I think…

I can sympathize with a lot of that until the tip part. My preschool nephew is currently wretched, impossible to placate and is likely to have that sort of tantrum, but you can bet that anyone who put up with that would get a better-than-5-percent tip.

Ugh. Sorry. That kind of conversation would have come from my dad for whom a 98 or a class rank of 2 meant you weren’t applying yourself.

No, the bacteria make the brows stick together better.

My mom once told me (when I went from a 0/2 to a 4/6) that I had “gained a disturbing amount of weight and people(???) were concerned.” She now denies ever saying this. Interestingly, she is not skinny, and she also decided I had an eating disorder in college (I did), and her solution was to send me boxes of cookies…

I am old enough to have watched Jem as a kid, and if this movie had been more true to the goofy cartoon I loved as a kid, I would have dragged my 6 yo niece to it, and she’s all about bright hair, sugary pop music, crazy plots and glitter. I think it could have worked, but they just made a movie that had no real…

IDK, but the father of of a fiend owns an orthopedic practice and owns a boat and a vacation house in Nantucket. I, on the other hand, am currently putting a timing belt in a 16 yo Honda (well paying for someone to do it) to coax more life out of it. Vet school seemed like a great idea at one point.

Shudder. And your landlord has refunded or discounted your rent for the duration of the dead rodent smell? Did they do what most people do and set out poison and then become shocked when the poisoned rodents did not evaporate or die in convenient locations?

Normally, yes, and if they expected gifts especially from people not in the family, big yes. These people, though, probably throw themed parties because it’s Thursday, so I guess a new baby is as good a reason as any.

Becoming a doctor requires academic ability, the development of a number of skills and a fair amount of determination. Being a gifted neurosurgeon means just that, you are good at operating on brains and nerves and spinal cords and have the nerves of steel and the confidence/ arrogance to do it day in and day out. You…
