Well-said. It is never just one thing. And there are only so many hours in a day, and only so many things we can control.

Important article. Too many people think they can dictate what poor people “should do”, with no understanding AT ALL about how hard it is to live on so little. The grinding depression also hits when you are also trying to take care of your kids, but are faced every single day with how you are falling short.

I was just there in August. It is not scary or creepy - just a castle that people actually lived in up until the 1960s or so. The town tries to cash in on the fame of the novel (I don’t blame them - why not?) but it is not scary. If you are in to the original literature, cool.

Exactly. The baker may be blissfully ignorant of these terms, but other are not.

What the Actual F. After these men get their balls squeezed in a vice, at alternating pressures, for 12-36 hours, then they are allowed to have an opinion on any matters of reproduction/birth.

She somehow manages to be more Gwyneth Paltrow than Gwyneth Paltrow. It is sad her friend is dying, but Gilbert pretty clearly can’t be “committed”. At last, a relationship she won’t be directly responsible for ending...

I know a lot of people, including me, who would love to just show up to a professional-grade kitchen with all the ingredients and cook. Many people don’t have the room, or the skills, or all the fiddly little supplies to host a dinner in their own homes. Yes, restaurants are wonderful - but if you want to cook and use…

This is a pet-peeve. Everyone got so comfortable with using the word “vagina” instead of “privates” or “down there”, that now a LOT of people don’t know that the pubic region is a collection of many parts. So many stupid articles about shaving the vagina, waxing it, etc. - dummies don’t even know their own body parts.

Yes, one of the main characters got pregnant in the 1st season, and gave the child up for adoption.

They need to sue those f*ckers for a lot more. I travel a lot, mainly internationally. It is very normal for someone to be traveling who has a hearing deficit, language barrier, or any other issue that may cause misunderstanding at a security check. Mostly, the agents outside of the US handle it gracefully and with…

Jockey brand “Skimmies”. They are like little shorts that wick moisture away. Or Bandalettes.

Yeah, I kind of have to agree. I see an ad similar to this every morning and it makes me hate myself. I used to look like this, and get lot of compliments, but what people didn’t know is that I was barely eating anything, feeling like I had no worth except for being thin. All the compliments kept coming in. “You look…

Yes - additionally, it is quite common for parents in both Japan and China to use temporary “shunning” to discipline. A child might be told to go sit outside the house for a couple of hours, or made to sit in a closet to be separated from the family for bad behavior. These parents seem to have done the same thing -…

Exactly. He can be a puppy with other people who enjoy the whole thing, but you cannot assault people.

Depends on the person. I “kept it up”, as Captain Janeway suggested, for 3 years. For me, it meant endless spotting. No real periods, but no days when I could expect no blood at all. After all that, I elected to have my 4 days of predictable bleeding all at one go, rather than random red and brown at any intervals.

Very exclusive and very expensive women’s college. Only the uber elite/rich can attend.

Sounds about time to report him to the police...

Not my place to judge - just curious about the procedure - I assume they had to use a donor egg? Even women in their 40s sometimes have to use a donor egg(s).

There are almost no wild tigers left due to habitat destruction and human interference. Zoos are responsible for maintaining a captive population and running breeding programs. Is it the best option? No. But the other options include letting tigers completely die out (not acceptable to many) or clearing out all humans…

Sounds like a planned rape.
