Agreed. I would happily take two dads or two mommies over belittling, uninterested, uninvolved hetero parents (not unlike my own) any day of the week. And I agree with Lady Coren, too - Albert and Armand would have been the awesomest parents ever. :D

Ditto. If it was inspected and regulated, I'd eat it. I'm not keen on eating something covered in plague from a sewer either.

Hurrah! I'm so glad to hear they are doing well! Thank you for letting me know! :D

How did your friend stop herself from smacking that idiot upside her empty head? What a callous and thoughtless thing to say to any woman, but esp. one in your friend's position who is just hoping for her children to be OK. (And, were they OK? I'm curious to know how they're doing!).

That was pretty much my thought on seeing that magazine cover. She looks confused as to what she's doing there in that costume and extremely uncomfortable.

We had a going away party for a woman who had been fired for not doing her job - for nearly a year! - and almost scuttling a very expensive project in the process. The Powers That Be at the office bought her a cake, and made us all sign a card for her, and pool our money to buy her a present. The fired woman? She…

I appreciate being able to see the models nipples because it's an accurate picture of what the lingerie is actually like (i.e., sheer), but then, I'm not a puritanical nutjob, and if my boobs looked as good as hers do, I'd show them off six ways from Sunday.

I'm really, really tired of these "for a limited time only", "this is a limited run, get 'em while they're hot", and "before they go back in the vault" marketing schemes. I waited ages to get the books on Kindle (they had to finish/perfect the games on Pottermore before they'd release anything) and now I will have to…

Ha ha!! I like this - it's not only an awesomely nerdy game reference, but it gives Jupiter a sense of purposeful meaning. "Hey, you there, thingy hurtling through space at a billion miles an hour, why don't you come tango with me, you mofo?" :D

Nope, you're not alone.

I'm a technical writer too, and those manuals are also not what I really had in mind when I decided I wanted to write (though, those manuals do pay the bills...).

I think I'll go nerd out to my Symphonies of the Planets mp3s - then I can listen to Saturn while looking at it. :D

I agree - and so long as formula is still an option if requested/needed, then I'm OK with companies that make formula not using the hospital as an advertising space for their wares.

I definitely don't mean to imply that a stranger touching you on a plane is the same as having your seat kicked (though, I can see how it looks like that's exactly what I'm implying). But, I also can't think of how to explain myself, so am shutting up now while I have the chance.

My worst catcall (if you can call it that) was when I was about 15 or so and on my first ever date. We were walking back to his car after a movie, just talking and holding hands - you know, normal first date stuff - and some guy and his friend drove by and the friend leaned out the window and yelled, "Fuck her buddy,…

If we have to warn off potential perverts/rapists on planes, then I would also like the following warnings to passengers announced on planes:

I went to school in Ontario, too - I think you could buy an apple or a banana in the cafeteria at my high school, but mostly it was fries and gravy, or potato chips and Coke.

Hear hear!! Where can I vote for you?

Exactly. When will this sink into people's brains??

I was able to see as the satire/spoof it was, but that's just me. I can see why others might not be able to watch that without feeling triggered and sick.
