@SarahHeartburn: Oh and keeping said phrase book on you at ALL TIMES. It does you no good back in the room when you're lost in an unfamiliar city.

@GalaxyGlued: Not that our society has a great track record on biracial parenting either. My (fair, mennonite background) piano teacher had nurses freak out about switched babies for each of her four kids who all resemble their Trinidadian father. It took a lot of convincing for the nurses to belive such a fair woman…

I first read that as "formaldehyde health benefits" and was thinking not my tea!!

@Princess Leela: I wonder if they controlled for the age of the adoptees? Kids adopted in the 50s or the era of the "unwed mother homes" may be more likely to consider adoption evil when they were adopted in a forced adoption society. It wasn't nessesarily a matter of their mother being unable or unwilling to parent…

Thanks, this is an awesome piece to link to when discussing LGBT issues with people who consider a gender binary to be a universal truth.

@prestocaro: I'm leaning towards the agriculture correlation myself as having more to do with things than genetics.

That makes a lot of sense but I think the researchers might be surprised if they had done the study with boys as well. There is a lot of social pressure on them too.

That explains why the packaging has to change on several makeup products between the US and Canada! Many of the foundations that say SPF15 in the US can't make that claim in Canada becuase they are based on the idea that a layer of makeup between your skin and the sun acts as a physical barier sunscreen. The canadian…

@Jan74: will they hunt her from helicopters?

@SuperMeels urban cookie collective:

@cookie monstress: Toronto is the city (in Canada) that I associate catcalling with. Though I haven't been to Montreal yet.

@Jan74: Wow. Just....wow. That is some passive agressive false helplessness. I'm not sure if it would be better to do the tough luck mom thing or just dump his ass. Still if he's so 'imcompetent' that there's baby shit everywhere it certainly wouldn't be me doing the scrubbing.

@Nimnyn: According to Readers Digest, the most recent studies show that it's if they take out the uterus and leave the fallopian tubes that problems are likely. My aunt had a hysterectomy earlier this year and they took both fallopian tubes and uterus.

That cheetah looks just like a human baby in that solomn "I am taking in everyone and everything with my big infant eyes and you can just see my sponge brain just sucking up information" way. Too cute!

@HuckleberryFriend: Do you have any signs of skin sensitivity? Allergic rashes or itchiness or redness? Most acne treatments are too harsh in those cases and you might be better served by a sensitive skin line.

@Tirannie: Or the joy of being told "you're too fat* to get a tubal"

@toosnook: well, perhaps not articulate. Other than that, you're spot on.

"Female's you need to realize you wanted equal rights (voting and such) but you don't want men to have equal rights on sex? That is a little hypocritical.

@Overide Silex: I haven't seen this mentioned in the debate so far but there's a problem with your bar scenario.

@nashiitashiI: if your butt catches up it just hastens the migration of clothes past the waist, up the rib cage and colldies with breasts.
