Yes, “lets make peace,” indeed... but maybe use an apostrophe next time?!

I did the same. Those songs were circa 8th grade for me. I was so afraid that all that great music would be lost to time, so I recorded my favorites to “preserve” them. My friend and I planned to start an 80's radio station with them someday. (I still have some of the cassette tapes.)

I had Bach’s Air in C in my head every moment of every day for a few years, because I have a throat problem and when I inhale it reminds me of the long first note. Then it suddenly and inexplicably changed to “I’m a little teapot.”

Is that Marla Maples next to the red baseball cap?

One thing you can do, beyond reducing your own carbon footprint, is look around your workplace and think of ways to reduce those, too. And then bring them up with management. Get support from fellow employees and push to make things happen. Lighting, for instance... waste/recycling... purchasing recycled products...…

I hope that doctor doesn’t have PTSD. He sounded more terrified than angry when he shouted “no!” My heart goes out to him and his wife.

I’m white and female. I’ll take this one for you. Maybe I’ll wear a hijab, too; I have bad hair and look good in hats.

To those who have eye abnormalities and reading the comments about his “creepy” eyes, I just want you to know that there was a girl at my high school who had a similar eye condition, and she was very pretty and popular and was a cheerleader and her eyes just seemed to add to her mystique.

I got my body image hang-ups from teen magazines. Those impossibly-shaped, perfectly smooth, tanned, hairless, poreless teen models on smooth, glossy paper. I would stare and stare at those photos, trying to find a bump, a wrinkle, an ingrown hair or razor burn at the bikini line... hating myself for being the…

Mmm, yes! Continuous birth control, in fact, so we don’t get periods while we’re in the trenches!

It makes me think about animals that live indoors as pets... all of the sounds (and smells) that might be driving them crazy but we can’t detect. If my husband eats while he’s out, I can tell as soon as he walks in the door what restaurant he went to and what he ate (and whether anyone near him that day was a smoker).…

That is possibly the sweetest and coolest thing I’ve ever heard. Talk about thoughtful gift-giving! And the fact that it was a group of young men and women, not just one person, who gave the gifts... just wow!

That photo is from a few years ago.

They look very heavy.

I just want you to know I have enjoyed reading this thread and your measured responses to those defending the overconsumption of meat. I’ve read a lot on both sides, from both industry and environmental standpoints, and I know that you are right about pretty much everything you’ve said so far, but it’s really, really…

I think you mean “holistic” instead of “homeopathic.” Homeopathy is a very specific type of alternative medicine... you would have been giving your dog water that had once touched a microscopic fleck of arnica. Seriously, google it — it’s crazy! But it sounds like the pills you gave her actually contained arnica, so…

For all we know, the Barbie jeep and all of those other toys were very old, broken, free, etc. Plastic toys DO NOT DIE.

I haven’t finished scrolling, but so far you’re the only one who’s mentioned that aspect of it. There must have been water for the adults and children, but none for the dogs? No adult or older child had the compassion to at least keep a water bowl filled? I honestly don’t understand what conditions could prevent this.

A couple months have gone by since this article was posted, so you may be the only person to ever see my comment, but I too was thrown by the comment about frogs’ reflexes. It seemed like such an antiquated idea, that animals are robots with programmed instincts and reflexes, rather than being sentient beings that…

My family does that to me, too, but I wouldn’t really mind seeing them jailed.
