"right to work" has nothing to do with at-will employment; it just means you cant be required to join a union as a condition of your employment.

mmm, no. You are confusing right to work with at-will. Two separate concepts. At-will means you can be fired for any reason, even a bad one, even one that is arbitrary and capricious, so long as it isn't in violation of any other law, like anti-discrimination and whistle-blower acts, or constitutional rights. Right to…

I am a 911 operator/dispatcher in SW Florida and the thing that I wish people knew is that location is the most important thing. If u can't call then text all u need is a piece of mail or a cross street. Also if u can't talk nor text the location, dial 911 and leave the line open and periodically whisper help send…

As a "Health Professional," you should know that there are many underlying causes to being overweight that must be addressed first and individually. Coming here to just say 'well duh just exercise!' Is arrogant, condescending and patronizing. Also, just being thin is not necessarily healthy either. If you were a…

If you're goal is to make fewer fat people, helping them love their bodies is more effective than shaming. Loving your body is the first step towards treating it well. Disordered eating patterns (like overeating) are not born from loving oneself too much.

I'm sorry, but that's actually incorrect. Languages don't get watered down to a dumber level, they change and evolve. It's not always in a way you'd prefer, but it's not up to you or me. If you read about the evolution of language, you'll see this. Proscriptivism isn't the way to go, it's classist and ultimately…

"as a society we could move past the idea of your physical appearance being connected to your personal worth"

You're just saying that because you have three hands!

It's not just the bathroom — though that's the most noticeable. Go downstairs to do the laundry and there is a kitty yelling down the stairs to check on me. Try to hack my way through the disorganized file cabinet in the rarely used guest room and I have enough feline paperweights to assure I can't read any files I…

When was it ever not a soap opera? I mean, really.

The other thing is now that I am pregnant, there is a certain schadenfreude in the way people like to warn me about how my life will never be the same and I'll never get any sleep or have a clean house again.

Read this:

I'm glad that your first time was made as special and comfortable as possible due to the fact that you waited until you were with someone that you truly cared for and who was able to support you through some of the less pleasant aspects of loosing your virginity (pain, emotions, etc.). I don't understand the people…

This was an excellent read.

Ahh, yes. My ex-boyfriend was thin and looked great in clothes. But naked, he sort of resembled a droopy stick figure. His butt was bizarrely flat without any muscle or fat in it, so touching it was like grabbing at pudding. When he ate a large meal, it gave him a potbelly until it was properly digested so you could…

I like the later sunlight that DST brings, but I just don't understand why we need STANDARD time anymore. Why can't we just spring forward one last time and then stop jacking with the clock forever?

As owners of both, let me be the first to say:

I've been on at least two sides of this. I got my dog at 5 months from a private rescue, and it was, not lying, more involved than getting my security clearance. (The guy who did my security clearance called zero of my references. The rescue called all of them.) I lived in an apartment at the time but worked nearby…

Maybe it's just me, but I don't have as much of a problem with the 'weddings and pinterest' ad when it's in the context of the larger ad campaign. It's less "haha women and weddings" and more "obsessing over weddings is ONE of the things that women can do with our product."

India Indian food is usually heavily vegetarian too:)

Sure. :-) I'd been in America for a while and I was just coming back home. We hadn't seen each other in months. I was very bad at asking the question, but I managed, with great awkwardness. I handed him the ring box, said, 'Do you want to?' and we kissed. Then we took the train home. It wasn't a long journey, we live…
