And hopefully this reminds people that there are a TON of refugees from Syria (and a shit load of other places) that need help. So many refugees get forgotten that a couple doing this and making the news might just help. I can’t see the bad here.

We had a nice trail behind our school that our gym teacher used for walks sometimes. Hiking as gym class where it’s possible would be awesome!

I’ve always been glad I didn’t have asthma, my brother did and was just miserable a lot. The short thing just killed me for sports like basketball and volleyball, and then we did badmiton for a good long time and that was a disaster. I also had a classmate who is a professional basketball player, and while I adore her…

I loved to exercise and hated gym class too. I have hip issues from ballet (which I was doing at the level of a three season varsity athlete, plus some) and running murders it, so being forced to distance run in gym was literally painful beyond belief. I’m glad that was only a brief period of gym, the rest of the time…

Thank you! I was an infant when I got the chickenpox (pre vaccine era) and had crazy complications too. Not as bad as yours, but “normal childhood diseases” my ass.

My husband’s hair that fit that description when it was long was referred to as “Sideshow-Bob-esque.”

Is that how this is done? My mom used to do rag curls on me as a kid, but the result was much more Shirley Temple than that picture.

The sheer amount of energy required to keep it that cold and then need a space heater alone should be an argument to keep temperatures in the comfortable 70s range. Jesus, your office must have insane electrical bills.

I have this same rant about cowboy boots and urbanites too.

And I flashback to being told, directly, by my AP Calculus teacher, that girls “aren’t wired for math” when I came in for extra help (that I needed as a result of bad teaching more than my femininity). This was in 2006. This is extreme, but after years of similar, more subtle bombardment, I was pissed, but bought into…

Can we also bring up the fact that at the same time, this was the common arm gesture during the American Pledge of Allegiance? It was changed well after WWII began. Context is so important.

Born in 88 and my parents let me walk several blocks away (with friends) at 6. Totally busted.

Yeah, the moving cars thing doesn’t seem safe. Like, she takes off her seatbelt and they’re in traffic. What if they had been rear ended? What if he had been a bit too distracted by the very distracting event that was going on and missed someone in front of him slamming the breaks?

Even if that is the case, a size 6, even in vanity sizing, can be really thin on some people or really not. I am a size 6 and look heavier than Amy Schumer. I’m also several inches shorter. You can’t tell a whole lot about how someone looks/should look based on clothing size alone.

There is a reason I never even considered going into medicine and it is because it’s all super gross. If my gag reflex banned things, no one would be allowed to ever have accidents that lead to broken anything or internal injuries or cuts, throw up, or basically any surgery ever. My husband had skin cancer removed and…

Anti-vaxxing- where super liberals and super conservatives come together.

Yes, kids still get the polio vaccine, in the US it’s given about the same time as everything else, I’m guessing Canada is similar. Smallpox was declared eradicated worldwide in 1979 and most places in the world stopped including it in the normal vaccines in the 80s. If some bit of smallpox virus escapes the labs that…

The oral vaccine isn’t used in the US anymore (they stopped in 2000) and was being phased out when I was a kid. I had the oral version, my brother had the shot. We’re in our mid to late 20s.

Lays with champagne you say? This sounds like an abomination I need to try.

Please tell me this is a real quote. I don’t watch a ton of food network, but I’ll change my ways if that’s legit. I do love her recipes though.
