I'll admit, I spell out a lot of stuff to customer service people on the phone just because it's so easy to mishear stuff.

Consent should be part of every child’s sexual education. It’s not about legalities, it’s about respect for yourself and your partner. Respect for their decisions about what physical intimacy they choose to share. Respect for yourself in being to sort honorable of person who does not consider trying to force or harass…

My legs would be considered “thick” by those standards. I also have a kick like a mule...I think I can live with that. Anyone who wants to complain about it can feel their power firsthand.

I rolled my eyes so hard when I heard that NPR story that I almost drove off the road. My husband has made meat broths regularly for years, now he's trendy! I did make note of the ginger-turmeric chicken broth they mentioned though, because I think he'd like that.

If it worries you, remember that a properly done bun or braid looks perfectly polished and professional.

Well, now that we’ve shamed it, Kinja has searched its soul and allowed the edits after all. ;)

I meant even “uglier than many people think”, but kinja won’t accept my edits.

It’s not just gay people who can be targetted here...I can see some a-holes refusing service to a pregnant lady because she doesn’t have a wedding ring, certain protestants refusing service to Catholics, etc. It can get even uglier than most people think very quickly.

I'll never forget watching her on some talk show appearance when I was a kid. She and Elton John were on the program to discuss some new AIDS awareness campaign and talking about the importance of condom use. She said, "If you're going to have sex, you just have to use your noodle."

What gets me is how the numbers show that thorough, fact-based sex ed tend to result in less teen sex, not more. But so many people oppose it "on moral grounds".

On the other hand, it really sucks to hear stuff like, “Did you know, your auntie, uncle, father (whatever) wanted me to get an abortion when I told them I was pregnant.”

Less creepy than this one...

This doesn't quite count because I didn't work in the kitchen, but I think I'll share my story anyway.

Straight gal here...I can kind of see how a lot of these guys are hot in theory, but outside of a VERY limited type they don't do much for me.

Heat-seeking missiles...

No thanks, I've got one of my own. It has cushions.

My theory is that he's not so good at hiding his true heritage. You see, the story is that his father is a Cuban immigrant and his mother is an American citizen...but the truth is...he's actually a clown.

"Hang on, let me complain to management..."

Creepy, right?

You can also melt and mold lipsticks...the trick is finding just the right mould...the ones for remelting crayons are just right for the tiny lipstick ones.
