Gotta say, a 'red room of pain" doesn't sound even kind of sexy to me. Why not just call it a dungeon like everyone else does? And why the hell is it red? Can't this dude afford an interior decorator?!

The irony is, there's a part where C Grey is all like "oh, I don't make love. I fuck. hard." or something like that... my eyes rolled across the floor, so I'm not sure exactly how she worded it.

And, here's the kicker, it's common knowledge in the BDSM community that "contracts" are not enforceable. Some people still like to draft and sign them to kind of make their arrangement and discussion of limits/etc. feel more official... but everyone knows that a slave contract (or whatever you want to call it) is not…

I hear stuff like this all the time.

I would seriously love to know more about the flora. Specifically, I'd like to know if it's capable of protecting preemies from developing Necrotizing Enterocolitis. But I'm not a scientist and I'm pretty sure I can't study this myself. I tried to find articles two years ago, but didn't have any luck. And I wonder…

Exactly. If they'd said in the beginning that keeping communal areas clean and organized was part of my job, that would be a different matter. But they didn't, so I felt justified in refusing to do it. It also kind of put up a flag for me regarding different standards for men and women - cleaning is typically a job…

Thanks! I felt like I was the bravest person ever because, y'know, a month in I wasn't exactly assimilated or anything!

I was hired as an office manager for a company, long ago. I read the job description carefully, of course, when I applied for the job in the first place. So color me surprised when, about a month in, I'm being asked to clean the office.

See, I got the best of both. My husband wanted to have a wedding, and I wanted to elope.

Right? Plus, it's yet another example of a complete lack of subtlety. He could have just sneered, "I don't make love." But no, she's got to make it really clear that he's so very bad. So bad that he uses the F word!?!?! (which, btw, if you're into "rough" romance, that's not at all unique)

Hi, I'm a Christian and I 100% agree with you. I also studied history a lot and it's one of my favorite subjects - you can't deny the fact that some truly horrific things were done in Christ's name and when Christians try to brush it under the rug, they're doing a disservice to themselves and to others.

The scary thing I usually hear is that vaccination = autism.... but I'd rather have a living autistic child than a dead not-autistic child.

You nailed it, for me. She's her own person, but she's always been "Whitney Houston's daughter" and even in death, she can't escape that.

Ugh, that's a distinction that idiot teenagers make because they want to be soooo bad. (ref to the "I don't make love" quote)

My skin has never been better since I discovered kind of washing my face.

Same here- when I'm wearing contacts, my gigantic eyes are totally invincible.

I mentioned Kushiel's Dart! I think it would be fantastic on-screen. Especially (ONLY) if it were taken seriously.

Can Outlander be back yet? I want Outlander back :(
