Right?! Being high contrast is great for once!

You can feel it, but it's sort of like a tiny and very quick… pinch, or something. It's hard to describe. It's not a nice feeling, but it doesn't really hurt. It doesn't bother me at all. I'm really glad I got it done, because I HATED shaving and waxing is so expensive, plus the times when I had an impromptu beach

I got a Groupon! I have a few friends who did the same. It cost about £100 for six sessions and it was fantastically effective for me (it doesn't work so well for some people, but I've got super dark hair and super pale skin and apparently that's optimal).

1) THANK YOU.

I remove leg and underarm and pubic hair because I don't like it… it wasn't anything to do with porn for me, and my husband had no preference at all (he actually doesn't care if I shave my legs or underarms at all, and I'm sure wouldn't mind a bit if I had more pubic hair but I had it lasered to save time and money

Yep. Mine's all lazered off forever! (Or, until it grows back, as I'm told sometimes happens.) If anyone else doesn't like that, there's nothing I can do about it.

Bassist boyfriend #1: ecstasy-dealing meth-and-porn addict who convinced me I was crazy for four years.

I'm English and my American friends make me try to do their accents all the time. I'm rubbish; they love it.

Subtitles are great for language learning, too. I love them.

I know a toddler who went through a phase of calling me "mummy". I am definitely not anyone's mother and I can't stand the word "mummy" but it was quite funny. She didn't act as though I was her mother, but she just always called me "mummy" instead of my name, I think because I looked roughly similar to her mum.

You just reminded me of the time my nan told me about the first time she ever saw anyone black, as a 20-something during the war (the man in question was a US soldier), and said she had to force herself to stop staring. I'm now envisioning her having an expression like a fascinated toddler. (She asked me if I

I know in the grand scheme of boobs D isn't technically, officially giant, but I was an A for a long while and now I'm a D – multiple times each day I wonder at the relative enormity of my own boobs. To someone else they might not seem that big at all, but to me it's like my own body has grown some super duper new

Absolutely! That's when I use them. I just don't use them if there's no ambiguity.

I work in an editorial department and now we all have our headphones in and are surreptitiously chair dancing.

I love semicolons but hate Oxford commas most of the time! I'm so excited to be talking about punctuation that I'm compelled to use exclamation marks!

When someone makes a song about dangling modifiers, let me know.

I was stunned to find so many US people who loved Benny Hill… I gleefully reported back to my friends and family in the UK every time. We were all mystified.

Yep. I spent so much money and paid so many taxes in the US, as did my friends and family who kept visiting me… I even went back there to get married, and will probably be going back there forever now I'm married to an American. I'm California's one-woman stimulus plan.

Good luck!

I sorted out my own H1B and it was bloody hard with no help from anyone (other than an employer willing to sponsor me, etc). The company didn't advertise my job at all – I really didn't think they had to (if they were supposed to, it's my fault that they didn't). And, it cost much less than $5,000, which I think
