I like kids generally, and I don't have a problem with kids in most places (if they have highchairs, it's a kid friendly place imo). But I really, really don't like parents who let their kids run wild, tripping up servers, spilling shit all over the place, bothering other patrons, screaming etc. without doing anything…

Maybe she doesn't poo? What a waste though, to throw it away. She should have just given it back or something.

This stuff is magical. My husband has colitis and poops A LOT, and normally the bathroom smells like we've got rotting corpses under the floor boards when he's done in there. Now it smells like Poo-Pourri and hand soap. :D

I'd really hope so! But after seeing patients in the ER who say things like, "I've had chest pains off and on for three days; it didn't seem that serious." - and then ended up having to be hospitalised with serious heart issues - I would still be a bit worried about people not taking the quarantine seriously enough or…

I hope somewhere there is a publisher reading these comments and taking notes!

I like this idea if the person can be absolutely trusted to actually self-quarantine and monitor themselves. I'd be worried about people promising to do exactly as their told and then deciding they do feel a bit feverish and popping down to the drug store for something. Even if they head to the predetermined health…

This should be printed on little cards we can hand out to people like Englehard so they can consult them before speaking.

How so? I consider myself pretty reasonable most of the time. If someone asks a genuine question, even if it's badly phrased or whatever, I'd answer it as well and reasonably as I could as opposed to saying, "Shut up you moron." and not considering it at all.

It makes me wonder if they would fire a male teacher for once having posted nude photos of his then teenage girlfriend online... I mean, some of these crappy boyfriends may grow up to be teachers, so will they get the same treatment as women do now?

I don't think it was roofies - but I went from sober to incoherent and hallucinating in about a 45 mins. I was lucky that nothing bad happened to me after that. My b/f and the two women who hosted the party sat with me until I was OK enough to go home, and they tracked down the asshole who did it. Mr. Asshole…

The real questions is, will the guys listen to any of our reasonable answers and actually take them to heart and learn something, or will they mansplain about how we don't really understand what we want and we're just being silly because we're female.

I wish more people would do that. I do it on the rare occasion that I want to recline my seat a little (red-eye flights, mostly) and I think the people behind me appreciate having the option of saying something without worrying I'll turn into a bitch-faced monster about it.

I agree. Is the problem of having no best friend greater than having no friends, or being unable to make friends at all? No, perhaps not. But she's still allowed her own issues and complaints without having to think "Oh, well someone else has it worse, I should keep whatever pain/sadness etc. I feel to myself."

And you're being a bitter and nasty jerk, but lets all keep acting as if you have a valid point.

HA HA HA!!!! Best. Reply. Ever. Hurrah for Mummy porn!

Definitely meant in jest - they are no Paul and Linda. Sorry if I made you ill.

Oh no! The Paul and Linda of the current generation is no more? What will I do? How will I go on? [insert theatrical sigh here].

I didn't vote for that bloated, lying, windbag - but like madvie said, our "first past the post" system and vote-splitting got him his office. I can't wait to see him booted out of it before he sells Canada to China.

I thought the same thing. Girls have hormones and urges too, we're just told to repress ours so as not to be offensive or needy. Maybe we need to work more on demystifying and de-vilifying our bodies in general - male and female - so all this concern about pervy co-ed toilets will be a thing of the past. Besides, if…

Great article - I am also getting to the stage now where diets and the constant fight to be whatever the current version of "thin enough" is, is a fight I no longer want to be part of. I just want to be happy and not have every meal be a battle of wills where the less fun and enjoyment I get out of it the better I…
