@TopLevelExecutive: cosigned. I also wanted to point out that Oprah looked smoking at the Oscars! that dress was perfect for her!

@LazyHippo: This Canadian is 3/4ths human thank you very much!

I second the calling in the local police. During my time as head of my residence association I worked with the residence coordinator and the RAs dealing with a case of a resident who was starting to escalate up the sexual assault spectrum (stalking behaviours, attempting to corner women residents in their rooms.)…

"I'm not fat, I'm pregnant.....with a licorice baby. mmmm...licorice." she says while partaking of twizzlers.

f*ck. I'm sitting here, looking at my almost complete grad school application for a school I decided on once healthcare was passed down there. I'm feeling incredibly sick to my stomach at the thought of sending it in now. The only positive thing I can think now is that come September I'll have a US address so I can…

[www.youtube.com] You know, guys, Gaston was the VILLIAN. Sorry to break it to you...

we watched that video in grade 8 health class immediatly followed by a super graphic sex and childbirth from the inside out. We were all a bit thrown by first watching the "cats rubbing necks" and "then holy hell I really didn't need to see a movie shot inside the vagina as the guy comes." That video finished with a…

*snorts* You put that way better than i was going to. I was going to say he looks lumpy.

"only redheads should wear green." <- most recent admiring comment to come my way from a random guy. I tend to give off a don't talk to me vibe that drastically cuts down on sexualized comments though.

"blue punchbuggy all no returns!!!!" *Kim Pearson punches the collective Iowa Supreme court in the face* "What do you mean it doesn't work like that? Playground logic is unassailable!"

It's much harder for parents to get back into the workforce after parental leave, in my expereince. Especially in the last couple of years with the economy being crap, many parents don't have a job to return to anymore and have to take less secure, lower paying work.

I have a couple of friends who married women they met in Japan, so I'll ask next time I talk to one of them. I do wonder how much of this is changing though. when I lived in Japan in 2005-2006 it was becoming more well known. There was a show that played after the Hana Yori Dango drama every wendesday called "my wife…

Are you sure you want to make that offer? I think I can see the Taliban in the distance waving their hands saying yes! yes! pick me! We'll take them! while huming the pinky and the brain theme song. ;)

Sorry, what? I don't think fracking means what you think it means. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, you're doing a disservice to both the oil and gas industry and the environmental lobby when criticisms you bring against a process are untrue; its an uncalled for smear to the process, which may have…

I'm not quite sure how to say this without being insensitive but here goes: I'm reminded of the mental illness aspects of anorexia. The ill person sees fat regardless of the true state of their body. I wonder if the racism the creators of this "comic" have so distorted their minds that they can't look at a black woman…

I'm torn on this. FSD encompasses more than just low libido / inability to orgasm. I'm really sympathetic to people in these situations but at the same time all the focus on "female viagra" takes away research on the more serious side of FSD - the sexual pain disorders. SPDs are ciminally under-researched in my…

I'm in Canada too, and I'm counting on nitrous to get me through labour as well when I have kids. Seeing as I completely flipped out simply being in the same room as the epidural needle during my godson's birth, yeah that'll never be an option for me. (phobia, who me?) I'm so glad to hear that your experience was a…

*rolls eyes* I've always thought if God meant for fasting to be healthy S/He would not have made us with metabolisms with a "famine mode." Rather S/He gave us that so that we could recover from food shoratges or illness.

I'd say U of A is better, at least during my time there. They managed to kick the (%R&*^$&*) "genocide awareness project" off campus and onto the far side of sask. dr. whereas U of C had to go to court to try and do the same. I think they were back again last spring too. At least at U of A it just meant not looking…
