Hey, if you want to see someone set the track on fire, I'll email you a video of my next 400m workout.

I feel like this article could have been written without the "Elizabeth Smart is awesome, in contrast to Jaycee Duggard" angle.

There are times when I feel ethically questionable about supporting Anonymous.

Y'know what? I'll take the tone. They actually acted. That's what matters, IMO. A really well-written and contrite apology ain't shit if the offender stays employed or unpunished.

Yeah, I know. It's even with the old stone house and the fruit garden. Don't think we don't feel very fortunate.

We have wild hedgehogs here in France, and I delight every time I see them buffling and hustling along towards some hedgie destination. We usually end up stopping the car in the middle of the road, hazard lights flashing, at least twice per season to pull them from the road. They have a bad habit of getting flattened…

OK, In reading some other comments, I see that I don't know what happened in this particular situation at all. When I read the words sexually assaulted I made some assumptions I shouldn't have, but, I do still think the legal system is probably the best venue to address alleged crimes, instead of the institution…

Yes, when reading this I was saying, "This company sucks, but why are the police not involved? Especially since this is on camera" As a society we do this all the time- with the church, in schools, in the military, and now with gyms??! Why does a gym manager get to decide on the appropriate punishment for a…

Maybe it's because we as a society don't have a police force who consistently take women seriously and investigate complaints to the best of their ability.

I dunno...it's a toughy. On the one hand, yes mystical pregnancy is a trope. But on the other hand, are we to steer completely clear of reproduction in sci fi, fantasy and horror?

:-) Is a "fillion" the number of years it would take for Nathan Fillion to come to his senses, notice my existence, and ask me out?

That is seriously THE MOST FUCKED UP THING, EVER!!! How could anyone (unless they were a) blind or b) in a persistant vegetative state) allow something like that to stay on their body for more than a second? Jaysus, I'd be whaling on that thing with knitting needles to get it gone. Oh. Mah. Gawd. Side note: I'm…

That truly sucks. We got married last year, and two good friends (ten year friends, spent holidays together friends, traveled together friends) said they would attend, then didn't show without explanation. I am still too angry to call them, neither called me, so it is this open wound. Still. I get your pain. Have a…

Same deal for me. Had abnormal paps for about 5 years, had colposcopies (3 of them I think?). It's uncomfortable and unnerving, but much safer and healthier than sticking your head in the sand like an ostrich. Eventually, it cleared my system and that was it. Just follow up and stick to your appointments.

I just found out that my latest pap was abnormal and I need to go back in for a colposcopy (cervix biopsy). I know that there are tons of false positives, that the majority of women actually have HPV, etc etc, but... any anecdotes about having an abnormal pap and not having cervical cancer would be wonderful and…

CREATIONISM. Everyone stop what you are doing and pay attention to me, Virginia. Last night I took the kids and dragged the husband (he hates the outdoors) to a city-sponsored family campout. They have entertainment like storytime and puppet shows, hayrides, etc. Well this year's entertainment was a science…

She was the worst. I blasted her on Yelp the next day. There were a lot of other people on Yelp who had similar experiences, which made me feel like my reaction was normal.

Sounds like he's not that into it and that this is a convenient thing. It could be he's not that into you, or he could have an overall thing where he isn't interested in a serious relationship right now.

I am! But it's actually an Obsessive Compulsive trait and when I get out of control I leave my face a bloody, scarred mess. :(

This thread is vile but I can't look away.
