If she was on medication for depression, it may not have been enough under the new circumstances. It doesn’t work as well if there is a sudden change to diet, sleep patterns, or stress levels.

Sandra was looking at surviving a media shit-show as soon as she left the building, she’s done enough advocacy to know what would happen. People making accusations about her behavior, extra scrutiny from police, family and friends having to handle cruel questions. Figuring out how to keep her job, figuring out what…

There should be no way to commit suicide in custody. Even if she was a bridge jumper they’d arrested who made it clear that she only and absolutely intended to end her life there should be no way for that to happen.

Saying that the existence of LGBTQ people somehow infringes on your religion makes even less sense than saying the marriage of LGBTQ people will somehow ruin marriage.

Totally understandable. Personally, I don’t think one should have children unless it’s something they absolutely have always wanted to do. I figure it’s like skydiving — great for people who do it, but really not something you want to find out you are bad at half-way through.

When is the family planning to watch that video? I’m pretty sure Mom has no desire to see herself screaming and sweat covered. Dad wants to relive the night he got stuck in traffic and put everyone’s life in danger by choosing to drive distracted? Maybe it’s incase the kid ever misbehaves, instant video guilt: “You…

I’m 6’1”, with the famous wide, child-bearing hips — no risk factors. I don’t plan to ever have a kid, but if I did I’d want someone there who had seen so many births that mine looked boring by comparison. Doctor, midwife, voodoo priestess, I don’t care. Just someone to tell me it’s all normal.

My mother was so relaxed about birth number three (my little brother) that he was almost born with a different citizenship than the rest of us. Who wouldn’t zip across the border (when you already know you are in labor) for a nice dinner and a glass of wine?

I’ve never done it myself, but I kinda think that if you are giving birth you don’t need an excuse to be screaming. Pain, fear, sudden anger over the finale of Lost . . . whatever. Go ahead, let it out.

I lived in a town with no animal control, the only option was to catch the dog yourself and take it to the police station. The police would not come out for a loose dog call (or an animal cruelty call). I’m pretty sure not everyone is idiot enough to convince an unknown, loose rottweiler to walk over to see the cops…

“Wow, you’re tall.”

I’m so jealous that you didn’t develop the tall-person-slouch. I’ve been fighting the reflex since I first noticed it and I just can’t get rid of it.

I’m 6’1”, my husband is . . . significantly shorter. His eye level is my bust level. I used to tell people that I didn’t want to start a race of giants, so I found a shorter guy.

Especially since he was mixing illegal drugs with alcohol, and wasn’t exactly running bloodwork ahead of time? I’m guessing there were a few nonfatal cases of seizure or hypoxia but it would be pretty nearly impossible to prove. There is no statue of limitations on murder, but I’m sure sufficient funds and time could…

Is this the rule for all evidence collected or just those related to sexual assault?

Given the recent popularity of giving kids androgynous names, this issue is likely to get worse.

Well, I read a truly unholy number of cat behavior books and talked to my vet. Probably not the most efficient way to go about it. This website has the basics, but personally I think changing foods is less helpful than environmental changes like food dispensing toys or distributing food on various perches around the…

No one will be looking at you. They will be looking at the greyhounds. I like to think the elegance rubs off, but mostly I think the supermodel’s escort is just ignored.

Well, my greyhound liked to lie around, or run really fast, or snuggle. Eating was kinda optional, as far as he was concerned. Only dog I’ve ever known that had no interest in picking up random stuff on the sidewalk and eating it.

Caring is hard to measure in a cat, but my two overweight rescues (one was just under three times his correct weight, the other only about double) underwent a significant personality change when they lost the weight. More cuddly, more playful, much more active.
