"Haha, well yeah, I just can't imagine a good way of saying "in case this condom and your birth control fails, what are your feelings on abortion?"

Yes, I think there is someone in military uniform behind him since you can see from his sleeve that he's wearing a suit. It sure looks odd though doesn't it?

Maybe she did as well, but it was Slate's other advice column "Friend or Foe" that didn't believe the woman who got roofied and was hung out to dry by the commenters.

Although that photo isn't the best example, this Danish-Canadian will give you three guesses as to which is more popular with the hormones. The first two don't count.

Study Abroad reigions do tend to be broad: Australasia (or Australia/NZ seperate from Aisa), Europe, MENA, Latin America are common ways to break out a portfolio. But sometimes odd countries get put in, so it's always interesting to hear from citizens if they feel if it's an appropriate grouping. That and things can…

For one she was asked to clarify so she did. And two, many people taste their blood non-sexually. Your own saliva is excellent at clotting your blood, which is why people often put a papercut finger in their mouth before going for a bandaid or a tissue.

In the international education field, we use MENA (Middle East & North Africa) to denote the region, seperate from Sub Saharan Africa. Since study abroad or ISS is so culturally based, we try to create portfolios of countries that are similar. Is MENA a classification you might use?

It's not even the swears - I love the rough and dirty language she's created for the lower city in that trilogy - I don't think she would have been able to get away with it in the Alanna series!

I just described it to a friend on facebook as "wannabe BDSM except for middle aged church ladies" which is to say really really vanilla "BDSM" not worth the money if you buy the book or the time to read it if you can get ahold of the original pdf of the fanfic floating arounnd the net.

I should have know this was coming when they started teaching creationism as a viable counter theory to evolution. There is a huge difference between two opposite and equally viable ideas and one good one and one based soley on bad science and special snowflake syndrome. It'd be like telling a parent, good job on…

(sings) One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong!

Hmmm... I'm guessing a fellow Tamora Pierce fan? (if not please share who else uses that great curse!) Tammy uses great sayings in her books that I've integrated into my vocabulary, even when they aren't curses.

You would love my dog. She goes rock diving in the local river almost every trip to the dog park when the river isn't frozen and proudly brings home a treasure. We have a lovely little rock garden in the back yard made entirely of her finds.

Go ahead and blame Jenny McCartney for it. Her idiocy is causing our herd immunity to fail. When people aren't vaccinated it gives a disease a foothold in the population it wouldn't normally have.

The story is that I nearly became one of those names - my parents debated for months over which was a better choice of the two. Once they finally made a decision though, my Dad could never remember which one so he came home with a totally different name that he saw on some paperwork at the office and they decided to…

Absolutely - Alanna of Trebond tops my list only by virtue of being read first but really she shares it with Hermione. Then Kel and Aly and Eponine....
