As I told a friend who shared this with me: all those people who wish they lived in a simpler time just may see that wish come true. I, on the other hand, would rather not go back to life before germ theory. I'm not really interested in having to send someone on horseback for a doctor with leeches (who doesn't wash…

It's all the will of the invisible poopy hand.

Tillis is, of course, a proponent of small government and limited interference right up until he reaches your vagina, which he would like to see vigorously probed with an ultrasound wand if you need to get an abortion, which of course he'd like to see banned altogether. Of course.

My daughter died in 2011 when she was five from a malignant brain tumor.

It's pronounced "Fronkensteen."

So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. 'cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was…

All I see when I try to read your articles is your boyfriend's face as he watches the movie you tricked him into seeing. :(

Not surprising, considering her background:

~~Before she started writing historical romance, Courtney got a graduate degree in theoretical physical chemistry from UC Berkeley. After that, just to shake things up, she went to law school at the University of Michigan and graduated summa cum laude. Then she did a handful…

It takes a lot for me to get into a contemporary too. Apart from Jennifer Cruisie, I can't think of any that I truly love off the top of my head. I just finished the latest in Sarina Bowen's The Ivy Years series (my first foray into New Adult) and they're pretty great, if you're into feeling all the feels.

I love this post. I don't care about "being cool." And more than that, I don't believe in this idea of "guilty pleasures." Or that something is "so bad it's good." I love Outlander. I don't feel bad about it. I don't feel guilty about it. Is it cheesy? I honestly don't know what that means. Does it make me happy every…

The very best thing about getting older is the zero fucks I now give about being cool. I just like what I like, and I like this.

OH SNAP

Did anyone notice Claire reaction to Rupert's "that's what she said" joke?

I mentioned this on an earlier recap. What happens in the show is hard. Hard but realistic.

Basically, I put the book down with this scene as a pre-teen. It was too hard for me as a modern girl/woman to read and deal with, as I was just coming into my own understanding of what can happen to women.

But, DG basically…

What the fans don't seem to realize is that there are only two people who have sex with Claire in Outlander: Jamie and Frank.

(Spoiler)

ALL of 1940s Claire looks amazing. And her Jacobite knitware.

I'd love to try on just about every costume Vivien Leigh wore as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, but the apple green party dress holds a special place in my heart. Yes, the infamous Curtain Dress says everything you need to know about Scarlett. And yes, the garish and fabulous Red Dress she and Rhett fight over…

Another Manitoban here. I can remember once in 10-15 years my city having a snow day. This morning we woke up to -50 C windchills so out of town school buses were cancelled, but school was open. I drove my kids to school when they usually walk (I needed them OUT OF MY HOUSE after two weeks of family togetherness…
