I had a class full of frat bros, and there were two blond guys I could not tell apart to save my soul. In the course management system I had access to all their ID pics, and I seriously tried to figure it out from looking at their ID pics... but I just couldn’t do it.

I think I read on twitter that her real age is closer to around 34-35 in real age, as opposed to “Hollywood” age. But clearly, she doesn’t have too many issues with fudging the truth...

Hi, other Lyanna! Never been divorced, so I can’t offer concrete advice about that. However, it sounds like you feel guilty/defensive about bringing it up, because he’s “nice”—it’s unclear whether you think he’s going to try to talk you out of it, or if you’re worried about what others will think. But it doesn’t sound…

Cheryl Strayed is definitely relevant here. Both are examples are people running away to the wilderness to avoid dealing with shit in their life, and doing it in stupid/reckless/unprepared ways. McCandless paid for it with his life, Strayed was more lucky. But for some reason both seem to inspire other people to…

His younger sister wrote a memoir which describes their parents’ abuse. Knowing that context, I think his behavior is a bit more understandable. That said, it’s still absolutely horrible for his sister, and he wasn’t really prepared to survive in the wild.

Oh wow, that was under the 2400 scoring system? I was just automatically thinking it was out of 1600... damn, out 2400, that’s pretty low.

I love Biles, but I wish I could find more discussion of who’s going to be on the rest of the team! Douglas was 4th—it seems both days, she wasn’t at her best. However, I think it’s still pretty likely that she’ll be on the team—I’m hoping she performs better at the trials in two weeks so she can have a shot at the…

I’m currently having a glass of wine with purr-y kitties and Netflix, and I think that’s the way to go. I’m having slight FOMO after seeing pics of friends at a bar... but honestly, this is way more relaxing to me.

Dogs were domesticated 18,000-32,000 years ago, in a co-evolutionary process with humans. That predates the development of agriculture, and the domestication of animals (about 10.000-12,000 years ag0). So by the time humans started planting and harvesting grains, or raising herds of animals for meat, wool, or milk,…

I remember seeing him when I traveled to Skye, and I felt the same way (obviously not knowing how he felt about cats). I assumed that it was the heavily tattoo faced that gave me the heebie jeebies, but it was partially his expression and the look in his eye. It wasn’t exactly “creepy” but more... “unsettling.”

Dogs aren’t obligate carnivores like cats. They are omnivores, and benefit from a more varied diet. Yogurt is very helpful for their digestive systems (just as it is for us), and it’s also health for them to get veggies. So while yogurt with spirulina powder sounds kinda new age-y, it’s not that odd. I know…

Glad to hear their are others with this problem! I also usually go with fit-and-flare dresses and cardigans, or black/grey pants with a flowy top.

Perhaps the best way to respond to “polite” sexual harassment from a 15-year-old is to have a talk about why it’s inappropriate and unacceptable? It seems like we put so much emphasis on girls/women’s efforts to dress and behave in ways to discourage it... but perhaps instead we need to focus on educating boys to why…

I usually use either Band-aid Friction Block or Aquaphor. But I think with thigh chafing, finding clothes that cover the spot you chafe are the best option (which thus far, means not running in shorts for over 3-4 miles—I have some great running skirts that have built in shorts that work, but have yet to find…

I think the issue with compression is that even when you squash them as much as human possible—it’s hard to get them completely immobile. It reduces bounce, but it’s hard to completely stop it (see Bu-band video, though I suspect that she could be wearing a better sports bar). Panache supports from the bottom like a…

I know Panache is pricey, but it’s worth it! Before my Panache bras, I had to rely on double-layering my sports bras.

I used to, but then I got a Panache sports bra and my life changed :) If you’re larger-chested, encapsulation works a lot better than compression to keep everything in place.

As an apple shape, I’ve always though that that was the cursed shape. I was very envious of a pear-shaped friend who could wear a bikini because she had a tiny flat stomach, whereas my boobs and belly demanded the “full-figure” coverage.

Sounds similar to my department in graduate school!

I’m going to say nope to this one. I use to swear by this stuff, but it’s not sweatproof and it does wear off. The 12 hour ultrathon cream is better lasting (especially when you are really sweaty), and is less likely to melt your watch or the plastic on your water bottle.
