Jennifer Friedman, a legal expert on domestic violence, says that she cannot square Schneiderman’s public and private behavior. Anyone knowledgeable about intimate-partner violence, she says, knows that choking is “a known lethality indicator.” She adds, “I cannot fathom that someone who drafted the legislation on…

He is such a dog turd. I am furious.

Turner Syndrome (which of course, I learned about from an episode of L&O:SVU)? It’s a chromosomal disorder on the X chromosome where women who have it basically don’t develop secondary sex characteristics and remain very short.

It was one of those graduated flights of stairs outside of a student union on a college campus where there’s like...several steps then a flat part then several more steps then another flat part. I missed the very last step, which was all by itself and only about 4" high. I just didn’t see it. I rolled my ankle when I…

I too have fractured my foot performing the act of walking down stairs. But in my case, no one cared other than the kind stranger who carted my ass to the emergency clinic and my parents who continue to marvel at my clumsiness.

I’m technically a 10 1/2 wide, which basically doesn’t exist. I usually just wear an 11 regular, and put those sticky heel grips around the back if it’s too long and rubbing. Why do all the small and average size-foot ladies get half sizes and not us??

Dansko clogs are really good for standing and walking all day, which is why a lot of nurses wear them. One caveat is that the’re not so awesome for lots of stairs - I sometimes feel like they’re going to fall off.

Guardians doesn’t even need a top Chris to be an amazing franchise.

At first glance, I thought this was Jeremy Renner wearing Tom Hiddleston’s Loki wig.

Honestly, it’s everything.

Honeysuckle does suck, but multiflora rose has it beat. MF rose, as I like to call it, has all the evil traits of honeysuckle plus huge hooked thorns that shred clothing like wet paper. It is evil, EVIL I TELL YOU!

Nice! This recipe was very good. I think it was the garam masala that had been missing from my previous attempts.

That lasagna looks amazingly cheesily delicious!

What...did I just watch...?

Ugh, I hate that kind of thing so much. I had to go to a party for my in-laws with my arm sling because I woke up one morning a few days before with horrendous nerve pain in my shoulder. I hadn’t had an MRI yet, so there was still a possibility it could be an injury, and the docs me wear the sling until they could get…

I’m self employed, so I love my boss! (lol) No, really, what happened is that I got hired to coordinate a non-profit that doesn’t have 501(c)(3) so it puts all its money through a fiscal partner. The fiscal partner was like “no way are we hiring your people as staff” so they make me, the sole employee of the…

A blistering angle? She really ought to go get that checked by a doctor...

Thanks! My mom still struggles. I waiver between acceptance and trying to help her. I turned out surprisingly okay though :) 

A stay-at-home mom who was a maniac would have been awful.

I am so excited that Lauren Underwood (a WOC) won the nomination for my district (IL 14th). She didn’t just win it - she smashed it. It was a deep field, and she took more votes than the rest of the candidates combined. It won’t be an easy district to win. It’s about half rural and about half very well-to-do very…
