About ten years ago I was planning a trip to Madagascar just to look at lemurs and chameleons and aye-ayes and and all the other crazy wildlife that’s endemic to the island. But then I got laid off and haven’t had the disposable income since. Someday.

It must be the damn goats killing all those elephants in Africa!

I’m sorry, that really sucks {hugs}

It baffles me that she was once married to Gavin Newsom.

Can’t spell ‘angst’ without an A.

Even after staring at it for several seconds, I still don’t get the “tube top” thing. Looks more like those things you zip around the tops of your shoes so snow and slush don’t get in.

I also have a history of getting rid of something I haven’t used in 2 years, only to need it desperately 6 months later and buy new to replace.

Years ago, even before HIPAA, I was prescribed a common med for high blood pressure not for hbp but because it also helped with my particular case of Meniere’s-related vertigo. During the consult, the pharmacist simply stated that I should be aware of certain side effects in the event I was not taking it for hbp. She…

Truth, though entertainment directed at men tends to be seen as more valid. When a man reads a James Patterson novel on a plane, no one gives it a second thought, but a woman reading a romance novel elicits judgement and an eyeroll, even though both are similar flavors of entertainment.

Unfortunately easier said than done :(

I’ve had some very tense conversations lately with a very close guy friend because he always falls back on his favorite argument that men are biologically wired to be horndogs and that’s not going to change anytime soon. It’s freaking exhausting and some days I just can’t.

Same. I finally taught myself to swallow pills by taking a piece of very soft bread and pinching off tiny pieces squished into pill shape until I got used to the sensation.

We each had to rescue a wet book for my preservation class in library school but I don’t remember the freezer part coming up. Great tip!

I am more bothered by the no-show socks in that Las Vegas example.

These are some excellent fluffy tummies!

I also read somewhere recently that every plastic toothbrush ever made still exists, so that guilt is weighing heavily on my soul as well.

Bats are awesome. I even bought the special edition stamps with interesting bats a few years back.

The psychological manipulation and abuse perpetuated by this franchise is astounding. I already hated it just based on the misogynistic tropes it shoves at viewers, but then I read the recent book from the LA Times reporter who does recaps of the show and was disgusted at how the participants are treated. The whole…
