I can see mine figuring things out. Like if I put something he wants in a new place, he will sit in front of the cupboard/counter/drawer whatever and I see his little jerk mind running a mile a minute. About 50% of the time he figures out how to get at it and beats me at my own game.

I have a JRT/Whippet mix who knows at least 20 tricks and I could teach him more if I had the energy. He is so, so smart; he picked up "wave" (one of the first ones I taught him when we adopted him) in 3 tries. He is also the biggest asshole #TeamDog has ever known. I love my pogo stick dog more than anything but…

But don't you know the plan is to actually remove all copies of the originals and replace them with this new version? You'll never be able to revisit your childhood again!

Are there any female Rush superfans? That seems like a very dude-centric fandom.

Me and my hubs too. I was engaged to a man I was wildly, passionately attracted to once and what that taught me was those fires burn bright but are short-lived and emotionally exhausting. I'm definitely on team Marry a Friend. I love my husband. He's totally nice to look at and we have very nice sex, but I'm not…

So that was the second time he was sold on Gumtree, huh? Poor guy. Thanks to all the attention this story has gotten, I'm sure his forever home will really be that. He surely deserves it, although that is one happy face hanging out at the shelter.

I totally think it's a "you know you work in animal rescue when..." situation when you read this story and think "Oh, coulda been so so so much worse." The shelter I volunteer in just had this happen (http://q13fox.com/2014/11/20/dog…) so... At least this was a well trafficked area and he was found quickly. Sigh.…

Mucous.

Yikes. I wanted to come in here and be all "Well, maybe she just needed more time to get used to the idea; what's wrong with a second opinion?" But that's....wow.

I will say it's probably easier the first time than any subsequent time to get it done since you don't know what you're getting into the first time. When my doc asked me if I was having another one put in with removal, I definitely cringed at the thought. My plan is to have another one put in after childbirth when my…

The removal is really not bad at all (of course if you get it replaced you'll have to go through another insertion). I had mine removed last year because we're trying to get pregnant. It's basically like a big yank and it's over. Way better than insertion.

I didn't have to get two insertions but I did have to get 2 measurements (sounding) which, for me was the worst part. The second one was a horror show because I knew how much it was gonna hurt.

To be fair - they mostly know how the copper one works. It's the hormonal one that's the mystery device :)

I was a competitive swimmer in HS, which meant 4 days/week in the pool for 1 hour in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon for practice, plus 2 days/week of weight training, plus maybe a meet on the weekends.

College Weight Watchers. Needed to save points to drink. Subsisted on the following every day for two months:

Yep! I do that. Oats + blueberrys + coconut milk + chia overnight in the fridge = morning success! If I do not make this for myself, I basically subsist on scones and toaster pastries from my work kitchen.

Her uncertainty about what to do with her hand-claw is the best part. It's just....there. Girl, you are not making that look natural at all.

That PUAHate thing gave me nightmares for weeks and definitely made me glad I didn't have EGR's job, although I found it weirdly compelling and enlightening.

It would be funny if Miley ended up the Kennedy (or, I guess, Kennedy-adjacent) and Tay-Tay didn't.

Man, I dunno. I think in the same way we have to take into consideration that the UCSB shootings didn't happen in a vacuum without misogyny (remember, he killed his male roommates first), we have to take into consideration that this didn't happen in a vacuum without anger against police. I'm not saying the two…
