Green beans taste like grass clippings and squeak when you bite them. [shudder]

I’ll counter this with Inside Out and Zootopia, but overall I agree that the field is really, really thin these days.

That makes me wonder if it’s from the days when you had to actually heat water up in a kettle and multiple people would share the bathwater.

What is with the people forcing everyone on the bus to watch the same movie? I hate movies where the dog dies, and I was once stuck on a bus watching Marley & Me.

Nah. Some Ferengi actually have redeeming qualities.

Over five air control towers, and one admiral’s daughter!

I was okay until this one, now I’m out. OMG.

Alas, no! I love that show, though I was never clear on the actual rules of the game as they set it up. It was billed as a dating show, essentially.

I concur! The rule of threes in general worked out well for me when I was in the dating game. Three dates maximum if they’re nice-but-eh, to decide if there’s any point at all. Three months to test for real potential.

During Mad Baby Prep times we made a bunch of smallish calzones — they ended up being really useful, because I could eat them one-handed while nursing / holding sleeping baby with the other. We will not discuss how many crumbs ended up on baby heads at one point or another.

I read an article which quoted her saying that she specifically chose the cgi character for Force Awakens, because she wanted to do a role that wasn’t focused on her body.

If you’re fighting against righties, absolutely. Most fencing training is about getting around the other person’s arm, and it’s a lot harder to get at someone’s body to hit them if your arms are on the same side. The downside is that you get really used to fencing righties, so when you come up against another lefty,…

Exactly. I’m Canadian and it’s somewhat different here, to the extent that we don’t have the private university system like the States, but there is absolutely socio-economic stratification of the same kind happening. We grew up firmly upper-middle (yacht club memberships, but public schools, no trust funds), and my…

“But aside from buying connections to other wealthy parents,” — that’s exactly what they’re doing. It’s the same as the public school culture in the UK. The school itself may not be measurably better than the next one down the street in terms of test results (though you can bet the kind of cash flow into the school…

It’s worked seven times for me so far... haven’t tried it since this am’s update, though.

A hundred times this. I’ve seen re-enactor archers manage to Robin Hood their own arrows at ridiculous distances with old school longbows. That takes skill.

I honestly don’t get the cargo hate. Mr. Moose has a couple of pairs, and a pair of pants, and something about the way they hug his backside makes his ass look a.maze.ing. Better than anything except his really expensive date night jeans. (And he’s a former competitive fencer, so he’s got the legs and buns to show for…

Have you wandered by FreeJinger at all? They’ve got an entire Duggar subforum. http://www.freejinger.org/forum/251-quiv…

Hurt like F*** in the moment, but the increased sensitivity once it healed is amazing. Also hurt a lot less than breastfeeding / cracked nipples / mastitis / etc ever did. (I promised myself while sobbing through nursing kid #2 that I would do it once kid was weaned, and make my boobs mine again. Best thing I ever…

AHA! That’s where I lost my 10%!
