Ooh I feel just the same. Eph was so awful I flat out despised him the whole trilogy. Vasily was the only reason I read past book one.

He's doing it as an internship before starting grad school, so he'll probably be in the field for a lot of grunt work.

My brother is a geologist who will be on this project for the rest of summer!

She had a navigator, Fred Noonan, on her final flight.

Yeah, I have a 6.5" wrist so I'm guessing unless/until they come out with a small size, it would make me look like a kid wearing her parent's watch.

I get lots of ear infections and even just the dampness in my ears from wearing headphones can set it off. That alcohol/hydrogen peroxide mix just knocks it right out before I have to resort to the doctor's office and antibiotics. But yes, if things are already a little inflamed, it's like sticking a red-hot poker…

I frequently sleep on our couch. It's a recliner style one, and I sleep like a baby on it when I'm having allergy/asthma/breathing troubles. Much easier than trying to prop a bunch of pillows under my head. Sometimes my husband comes out to sleep with me on the couch and sometimes he stays in bed. We've always been…

The City of Ember movie on HBO on demand. I'd read the book some time ago but had no idea they'd made a movie. I suspect I'll be asleep before it's over.

I have no words. I'm going to go make a petite ecolier s'more RIGHT NOW.

I bet orange or orange-red would look great. Like http://www.overstock.com/Main-Street-Re…

The folks at immigration think they're living in a shitty Dan Brown novel.

It would be especially difficult since that etymology is complete bullshit.

Well you just inspired me to send out some letters to FIFA sponsors. Not that anyone at some big company is going to listen to me, but I don't suppose it can make anything worse.

I got "poop" four times in a row!

I don't think I'm pronouncing the title correctly.

Oh yes wide calf/extra wide calf is definitely a thing. You aren't alone! Glad I could help.

Have you tried Zappos.com? If you search "extra wide calf" there are a bunch of options, depending on how you feel about buying shoes online.

Thank you for the considerate response. The "gross" was a little physical from a bloaty feeling and a little emotional from overeating. I don't feel I'm in a crisis or anything drastic. I've just never induced myself to vomit before and then I went and did it again a couple days later.

Might a person develop an eating disorder in their 30s?
