Agreed. There were even funnier ways to do it than the Avengers just being dumb. For example, sometimes the instructions aren’t 100% clear and you cold have had two members arguing over what they were to do next if hammy superheroic fashion. Or even someone didn’t figure out which screws the pictures indicated and…

They also give you all the screws and hardware you need so really it just seems odd. My guess is that people who are so used to buying already-made stuff just think it’s rocket science. Only bit of furniture in my apartment that gave me issues was the daybed because it assembles into three bigger bits that you have to…

Because places that don’t have a stadium don’t realize they’re a major money pit and see only the prestige (or even think they’re only a minor money pit that is worth the prestige), so stadiums always have the option of going elsewhere and fans are so religious about their team that the team “leaving them” is not an…

Agreed. My uncle’s Atlanta suburb got the new Braves’ stadium a few years back because it’s an upper middle class to wealthy area that was more than willing to shell out for the “honor” (and less driving time to the stadium). My uncle even likes the Braves and still hated it for being a dumb vanity project by his…

So many people I know...

This makes me giggle becuase I, for no real reason, just wasn’t hugely fond of my dad between second and sixth grade. We’d do stuff, go on family outing with mom, and it’s not like we hated each other but I generally did not spend any time around him unless we just both happened to be on the couch watching the same…

The judge refused to let her family step in (or even visit, in the initial ruling) so at the very least she thinks it’s like that.

Oh yeah she and her sister were some of the first women I thought looked hot.

I would assume because the system is already over-burdened, it would be on short notice, and might only complicate visitation (if the foster parent takes them to see dad and they don’t want to stay, what happens?)

I think it’s the first which is kind even worse since it’s saying the other women don’t really want to compete since it makes them unfeminine to do so, they’re happier with second place if they don’t have to *gasp!* maybe put on some real muscle like Serena. Trying to be the best you can be is not ladylike, damn it!

Her rivals could try to emulate her physique, but most of them choose not to

I think a big issue is finding someone neutral enough to take the kids (esp. since this judge barred anyone from the mom’s side of the family from visiting them in detention too, clearly she considered them all biased) when the situation is really deteriorated to where neither parent is a good pick during proceedings.…

I really wouldn’t surpiised. but then again these kids seem to civil disobedience type, like “well, I have to be in the same room as my dad but no one said I had to talk to or even look at him.”

Now the summer camp thing does make more sense given the judge’s original rhetoric of “your mom is poisoning you against your dad” since if that was her stance the obvious recourse should have been “here is a neutral place you will be put that is nice and fun and safe and both parents have supervised visitation”…

I know some people just sort of automatically categorize thicker lace as frumpy (my mother, for example, always thinks any wedding dress with it looks like a table cloth though she at least admits she’s clearly biased in that thought), so that coupled with her neck and arms covered probably did it.

I don’t think it’’s everyone, but it’s definitely a trend. (for fun outliers, my dad got more liberal when I was in middle school, as did my paternal grandparents, though at least in dad’s case it was mostly done via digust with the GOP).

You’re fine. I’d have replied sooner if I wasn’t in class.

The answer is don’t paint your nails the same color as your shoe anyway becuase that’s silly. Make them pop with a contrasting color.

So is aspertane the cause of the aftertaste a lot of people claim diet sodas have or something? (I only drink milk, aj, water, and coffee, so no idea here). I know some think it causes cancer but I’m pretty sure that was debunked.

I know. I have a friend who’s adopted becuase their bio mom is dead and their bio dad murdered the mother of his other kids (long story). Some judge ruled that not only can the dad contact my friend, but their adoptive family must save anything he sends them becuase after all, how does the judge know it wasn’t the…
