Oh god, that hit home. I too was chronically ill last year, for over a year. When I finally recovered after surgery I had lost almost 30 kilos, and everyone was congratulating me! I couldn't physically eat food bigger than half a palm amount, I still can't and probably never will, and I spend all my days trying to…

Apparently, and I don't have the actual studies at the moment to link to, it seems to be both. This is based on studies of various primates who use it as a way to display nonaggression. Since it crosses species lies it suggests a biological basis, ad as humans have advanced the expression beyond just nonaggression,…

That's it! This whole break-up, transition-or-not thing is a Kris Jenner dream made real, only to be followed by her 'stealing her model daughters hunk' for a perfect hat trick of publicity storms.

If I was Bruce Jenner, I would use these rumors as a way to drum up publicity, and then have the whole interview avoid the topic entirely. Trolling at its least harmful, most hilarious.

Thank you thank you thank you for all of your wonderful comments and articles over the years!!! You're one of the reasons I got brave enough to go from lurker to commenter. And as an Aussie, your night blogging meant I got updates during the day, on the weekend, from one of my favorite sites, what could be better?

Your first comment was great, but your reply was outstanding. Such oblivious outrage..

I don't know if they sell them in stores in America/Canada etc., but I have a couple pairs of Spanx brand control top pantyhose. I bought them in the next size up, and that bit of extra material around the waist area (no torso person as well) goes up to my bra line. I pair it with a bra that has a thick band so that…

I'm an everyday shaver (pale with dark hair, plus I'm a girl) after a decade of shaving every day, I only need to exfoliate and lotion once a week and I use a liquid soap as shaving cream, which cuts down on the time you spend shaving.

The supermarket I work at sells glow in the dark lube..

I'm all for highlighting the effects of climate change, but you've got to realise that Australia has had bushfires for longer than wee had people. Koalas need eucalyptus trees to survive, as eucalyptus is of course one of the driest types of vegetation. bushfires are the way our may of our native plats reproduce; wipe…

I know people hate him, and he is a ass, still, if a girl was treated like that By older men in the industry and turned out like him I'd cut her a little slack, so now I find myself sympathizing with him. Oh no.

Not defending ol' Igloo, but the Aussie accent (as a holder of one) is bloody difficult to perform with for some of us. We don't enunciate as much with our speech, and we have longer vowel sounds, and those of us who got singing instructors who favoured American songs have found that to get the rhymes to match…

I have tried so hard as a foreigner to understand the gun culture of Americans, and I acknowledge the argument for freedom and protection. In saying that, there are many things countries curtail because freedom to do those things increases deaths or negative outcomes; such as drink driving, many white collar crimes,…

If I'd seen the Jeremy split announcement two weeks ago my 'golddigger' (I don't really like that term but nothing better comes to mind) alert would start going off, because I've dated guys for longer than 10 months and never got past the dating stage. It just doesn't seem long enough for anyone to have made a proper…

That's what I came down to say! Her eyeshadow/liner shapes are two different shapes. One is winged, the other rounded. One extends to the corner, the other is more blended.

Mark, I love you. I mean, neither of us is the others type, so to speak, yet I still feel an almost stalkerish love for your posts.

Australia suffers from really bad overt and casual racism, it's awful. For large parts of the country, White people are considered the default and in all the major cities you can ask a local and they'll tell you where 'not' to go; the part where indigenous, or immigrants live. As an Australian it is frankly awful and…

Keep in mind a situation like this has never happened in our country before. Our hostage situations are usually domestic incidents, which need to be dealt with completely differently than religiously motivated terrorism.

The magistrate thought the case was 'too weak' to hold them in custody. According to our news media.

We have massive overcrowding in our jails. They would have taken his passport away as part of his bail conditions, and had parole like conditions where he has to check in at a police station and stay in the state. Apparently the case was thought to be 'too weak' to hold them. Unfortunately innocent until proven guilty…
