*laughs* I wonder how fast this numbskull will backpedal when it's turned against him. I find height, shoulders and jawlines sexually alluring in men and sometimes hair too, so he should wear a burka and slouch so as not to let a sister in Christ trip up.

My aunt really enjoyed going - hence how I saw the video.

Thank you! I can't find an online version of the "sloth ballet" video in return but here's a link describing someone's trip to the rescue centre! [www.enrichmentvoyages.com]

Yes!! I read a detailed essay before book 7 came out that made a complete analysis of the Harry develops feelings for Ginny plot and made a DAMN FINE argument for Hermione dosing Harry with love potion keyed to Ginny. All the evidence was there. I was shocked when JK Rowling continued with the pairing. (Then again I…

There was that consideration too - what if I had to give my mother that mental image and I didn't get reimbursed? I really like to think that my mom has no idea about my sex toy / accessories stash. She did a decent enough job with the birds and the bees and the birth control prescription and I'd rather not ruin that.

Seconded! I hated whenever I had to use them when I was in Taiwan too. I used to have to take one leg completely out of mt clothes to be sure I was hygenic. And good luck trying to use it in heels! When my school had an outdoor dance one evening and only had squat porta-potties I had to ask my friend to ask the…

The world isn't as insular as it was when polio was still rampant in north America. I'm in my 20s and one of my classmates in grad school uses a wheelchair due to polio. It isn't smallpox where it's completely eradicated, (and if there was ever a leak of smallpox from the labs back into the population my generation…

The extreme awkwardness of discussing my owning a dildo (medically required or not) out weighed the cost associated with it, so I paid out of pocket. My relationship with my mother does not stretch quite that far.

You may also really like the Maisie Dobbs mystery series by Jacqueline Winspear. She does an amazing job of depicting how an entire generation of British people were psychologically damaged by WWI - on top of how veterns left with injuries were dealt with too. It also has a really good examination on how the English…

I love how kids try and parrot things that have unintentional but totally true meanings!

Not so crazy as you think. Physiotherapy clinics that specialise in pelvic floor rehabilitation sell (very basic) dildos to patients to do at home exercises between appointments.

I feel your pain. And costco doesn't even have the decency to carry anything but black, hint-o black and "nude." if women have to pay up the wazoo for (essentially single use) panyhose, it would be nice if costco would have the decency to stock a variety of skin tones.

...I have now just realised that government cheese is an actual thing. I'm not sure if my ignorance is due to the fact I'm Canadian or my middle class background. I used to write zany stories with an internet friend from Florida and thought she made it up. (In the story I assasinated my grade 10 physics teacher with…

Is she 18 then? (I couldn't watch it with sound because I'm at work) if she stays in Russia, then no problem but if she wants to work professionally in North America she has to be 18. One of my childhood friends went to study in Russia for a year after high school because she wasn't allowed to audition for a…

Alright, for the people downthread who are saying it's not as bad as it seems, you have a point. But I'm not going to hate on Jezebel for posting about it. Giving it coverage before it become a problem means that Canadians like myself can contact their MPs and the transportation minister and point out that the…

That sounds a lot like my childhood. My poor mom probably didn't get much decent sleep when I was young since usually she was up and ushering me to the bathroom by the time I'd managed to quaver out "Mommy? I think I'm gonna.." The one time she slept through it, I went around to try my luck with dad and only got as…

I love Emily Blunt's dress - amazing colour which suited her perfectly!!!

I'm pretty sure there was a site for every fandom. There was one I used to read that was for harry potter fanfiction that had something to do with "sporking" - ie MST3King truly bad fanfics for reader's sarcastic pleasure.

It's not just the police with cute mascots - I have a Prince Pickles and Miss Parsley of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force cellphone strap on my phone. When I studied at Meiji, it was a gift from an OB* in my international relations zemi** when he came to our class to talk about working for the army. (he also didn't…
