Before I answer you I want to preface what I am about to say by noting that this is a rumour. We do not know if it is true or not. My answer is based on her trying to rid herself of the obligation she deliberately went into creating.

I live with many cats and have done so for almost 15 years. I have never heard or smelled a cat fart. Do they fart as often or as stinkily as dogs? I am willing to entertain the idea that I may believe my partner farts much more than they actually do...

Great, now I'll be even less fashionable than chimps. I am already at the bottom of the people fashion chain.

We must be missing something, because otherwise there would be sting operations set up for women buying vibrators.

You know, I am with you. Also, who cares if he was trying to screw his bike. It is an inanimate object that he owns. Let him do what he wants with it. Especially behind closed doors. How was anyone being hurt by this?

Having travelled with two young children (my brother and sister when I was a young child myself). I can tell you that is no treat either. My brother used to hold his index finger about 2mm from my nose and scream "I am not touching you. I am not touching you." While I raged. My sister used to hum tunelessly for hours…

This is an old Hollywood version, I think. Rihanna a future Hollywood interpretation. Both are stunning. Rihanna is absolutely, outrageously gorgeous.

While I don't agree that it is an ideal situation, I think it is a way of improving the lives of animals who might otherwise suffer at the hands of people who want to circumvent or avoid filling out the paperwork. I suggest that paperwork not be required as an exception to the general procedure, not the rule (as with…

I am not apologizing, or agreeing with this person's actions in any way and think what he did was horrible and am glad he is being prosecuted. However, there may be feelings of shame involved in abandoning an animal that people want to avoid. It doesn't matter why he didn't fill out the paperwork. IF our goal is to…

I don't understand why so many of these types of discussions have to start based on eradicating fat people or fixing the obesity epidemic. Having sugar and sugar substitutes as an additive in so many foods is bad for everyone. It was bad before there ever was anything called the obesity epidemic.

This may be our perception due to current social standards. But, these standards change through time. It is worth considering, however, that her work and the aesthetic she helped shape and create have had a deep impact on what we consider to be beautiful. I think if I was in this position I would be tempted to shape…

Picture it. Toronto the clean, mid 1980s. It was a beautiful, mild spring day. I was riding the King St. tram at about 10:30am on a weekday. A homeless and inebriated man who smelled as though he had pooped in his pants (again and again over a long period of time) boarded the bus and came towards the back where I was…

Helping fellow animals is a way to help our fellow man. The belief that man is the most important thing on the planet (and as space travel becomes a reality, the universe), whose whims are to be met at all costs underpins the same structures that create social injustice and vast inequality. I am, of course, talking…

Uh-oh, I am not a very experienced IKEA furniture assembler. But I am an IKEA Billy bookcase owner. I put them together. They lean against each other for support. Maybe your revelation that they do use nails has something to do with it...

I am with you. I wanted to like it, I liked the premise, but it never seemed to deliver. Tbank you for going first. Like JuneCarter, I was gonna stay mum.

Actually, Ikea is for NOT having to use nails… but, the story MistyGish shared, it is sooooo true.

I am not enjoying W1A as much, but, maybe it is just teething problems since they are only 3 or 4 episodes in. I like that Hugh Bonneville plays the same character, and that Yvonne the media/marketing 'guru' is back and that he still can't fold his bicycle properly.

Sadly, seen them all more than once. I don't understand why UK show seasons are so short and why there aren't more seasons of The Thick of It. I know Mr. Iannucci is busy, but, surely he should think of the poor viewers who pant after this type of television quality.

I like that all of these had nothing to do with food tampering and, really, not something that the patrons did to themselves.

Is Veep based on the BBC's The Thick of It? Because I love that show and they both credit Armando Iannucci and are both about the internal working of political parties. But, I have never heard or read that Veep is based on it. If there is another show that is based on, you should tell me what it is so I can start…
