I lived there for a few years; my ex is a doctor in NZ. Women have to jump through many hoops to get an abortion. Two doctors’ approvals, and they have to see a psychologist or therapist too, if I recall correctly. Then they have to wait weeks to get the procedure. At least that is how it was when I lived there.

He is intense. He is so, so talented. He scares the piss out of me. Did you know he improvises most of his scenes? I believe I read that both the hand-spitting and the thing he did with his hair were improvised. The hair thing was especially horrible. I was watching through my hands.

Yes, that exactly.

I agree. I think it was important to include the scene. I’ll go against the majority to say that.

Iwan Rheon is hot as fuck and I’d do him. As Ramsay he creeps me out but I would so hit that. Littlefinger is also quite handsome, in a very creepy way.

I agree with everyone else though. Tormund is hotttt. Something about that red beard contrasting with all that snow. Every scene he’s in, everything is gray and black…

I find this to be true, too. I have tons of women friends and less and less guy friends as I get older. But the quality of the friendships has dwindled. Usually you have one or two “besties” and if something happens, like a falling out or they move away or whatever, it is damn hard to find someone else to replace…

When I was a junior in high school, a guy I grew up with got into some trouble and robbed a bank with a buddy of his. They were only 16 and their plan was totally half baked (unloaded guns, no getaway car, they robbed a bank here in our small town where everyone knew everyone else and the teller recognized them even…

My husband loves to watch that show as he’s falling asleep. I make so much fun of him. Every day. “Oh, you’re finding out about how Aliens sunk the Titanic? Oh, they’re talking about how Aliens were responsible for the Holocaust? Did Aliens cause Lucifer to fall this episode?”

Loved it. Hilarious and cute.

Oh, I see. I’ve never watched any of them. For some reason I assumed Duck Dynasty was TLC as well.

Fuck her in her ugly denim jumpsuit dress.

Ok, TLC, are you ready to stop with your bullshit “reality” tv now? That’s three for three isn’t it? You’ve got Mama June and co with their connection to a child molester, the homophobic and racist Duck Dynasty fuckers, and now this. You’re just scraping the bottom of the barrel and giving some truly heinous people…

I dunno, I’m probably wrong, but what if more celebs/wealthy people get diagnosed with it because they actually go see a doctor when they have symptoms? The rest of us poors may have it without knowing because we can’t just go see a doctor when we start to feel the symptoms.

I don’t know if it’s comparable or not, but every time I read about this I think of my own experiences with my ex partner, who was physically and emotionally abusive. I was with him for six years. When I finally got out I went through several years’ worth of guilt - any time I’d talk to him or have to have contact…

It’s okay. I like her, too. I’ll brave the haters with you.

Well, he might be a sadist, but he’s a gentleman above all! Yars, yars. ;)

Tobias is a force to be reckoned with. He is an insanely talented actor. Watch him on Game of Thrones as Edmure Tully and he is literally a totally different person. He is a method actor to the extreme. He needs to segue into movies and win all the Oscars.

I feel like they are different.

The problem with Game of Thrones is that the writers seemingly have a huge boner for using mistreatment of women as a plot device.

I’ll take this opportunity to reply and tell the few of you who are fellow NMH obsessives about my encounter with Julian Koster last weekend. I dunno if he’d really be considered a “celebrity” but among hippies who are stuck in the 90s I guess he is.
