Not to be pedantic or anything but the name Nanako doesn't actually mean seven. It is a homophone for seven and child (七子) but isn't actually written as such.

Perhaps they thought the next generation of harpers wouldn't be so bad? Daughter Harper was at the opening of the Stampede parade on Friday and was nearly vibrating her excitement at shaking Duchess Catherine's hand.

Calgary didn't come off too well last time he visited, since the british tabloids hounded the woman he hooked up with at Cowboys until she relented and gave a tell-all.

That would be wonderful. Also it would be great if stores kept stock of all/most of them not just nude/black/hint o' black. (I'm looking at you Costco....)

or if you have "abnormal" body proportions. I finally figured out that I have to add 4-5 inches to my height to get a properly fitting pantyhose/tight. The joys of being short waisted.

And he wore the same shirt again this morning to open the Stampede Parade!

Many sex workers themselves say the same thing. Two years ago I read "Brothel: Mustang Ranch and its Women" [www.bookcrossing.com] and I highly reccomend it.

Good for you! For your miscarriage argument, I've seen the statistic that one in three conceptions ends in natural miscarriage (some before a woman would have any indication of pregnancy.) That's a lot of people who can be triggered.

Wait... I thought the stereotype was about crazy cat LADIES?

When I was quite young my parents used to take us camping with family friends down in Kallispell Montana (for canada Day, I think) and we'd get permission to do our own fireworks at the campground. One year one of the fireworks designed to float on the pond and explode out there went off prematurely as my dad went to…

Pets named by commitee tend to be all over the place. So our dog is myth /hobby(x2)/literary: Lyra the chocolate lab named for the constellation -itself named for the myth about a musical instrument. Also shows up in a few books too.

Your comment demanded this clip.

Is it just me, or did they try to take too literal an inspiration from Mozart?

I'm an Albertan and support 18. If you have to have a cut off then 18 makes perfect sense - if you're old enough to vote, sign a contract and serve your country in the armed forces should you choose, you're also old enough to take responsibilty for your vices.

I used to do the movies and tub thing when I lived in Japan. I tried it once or twice back home but I got spoilt by my deep tub there, where I could sit upright and the water was still up around my armpits. mmm... so warm.

You are in the Army, so it's a safety issue. I work for a company that drug tests certain employees but not all of them for the same reason. Someone who works exclusivly on the office side can't cause too much damage to themselves or others or property but someone who works in the shop or drives to client locations in…

"That said, the "War on Drugs" is a complete crock of shit which does nothing but cost Americans BILLIONS of dollars a year while violent crime and drug use are on the rise."

Sounds like it's probably diluted quite a bit or something different entirely. Whew, I was worried that maybe some people are allergic to it or something. The thought of the sort of reaction I suffered on already abused /torn /episiotomy stiched tissue is just too awful to comprehend.

It is a little gross but speaking from the experience of someone who was moral support during labour it is very easy to forget the earthy parts of the experience (smells like a slaughterhouse, possible diarhhea etc) and remember really only the joyous, life affirming parts. Labour amnesia is not limited to new mothers!

Seriously!?!?!? Do you remember what percent? My OBGYN gave me a prescription for the 5% ointment and IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ACID EATING AWAY MY VAGINA.
