I agree that not drinking because you might get pregnant is silly. I think it important to remember this is a “recommendation” though. The CDC also told people that eating processed meat isn’t good for them, and most people are still eating processed meat.

I do not know about the rate of fetal alcohol syndrome, but I worked with teenagers who had that as diagnosis. It has negative consequences for brain development - it’s not a joke. I don’t think pregnant women should be scolded for having two drinks, but heavy drinking should be discouraged.

Eh. I think you can speculate that after ten years of wearing thongs that they aren’t very comfortable or all that attractive. It isn’t really the same as telling people in there forties and fifties how to parent their children or manage their money.

Could his eyes be any narrower in that photograph?

I remember how much that upset my mother, as an elementary school teacher (and general human being).

...what? I don’t like vaping and I do not support it.

These were the credits for the movie.

...then just do it in the designated smoking and vaping areas.

I hate vape pens, even more than cigarettes sometimes. The cigarette smokers will smoke in their designated area. The vape pen smokers will not smoke/vape in their designated area, and insist on blowing smoke/vapour around like assholes. Ugh.

I couldn’t even read the first book start to finish. The “inner goddess” as a cartoon doing a tango or salsa was an entertaining substitution though.

What is this from?

Yeah, I watched this movie again with a friend of mine and that component seems a lot more sinister than it use to.

I borrowed a copy of a friends only read the sex scenes. Blegh.

I liked thinking of the “inner goddess” as a pornographic variation of the Lizzie McGuire cartoon character. That was the only component of that book I found entertaining.

Rachel: Now this is just the first chapter, and I want your absolute honest opinion, okay? Oh, oh, and on page two he’s not ‘reaching for her heaving beasts’.
Monica: What’s a ‘niffle’?
Joey: You can usually find them on the ‘heaving beasts’.
Rachel: All right, all right, all right. So I’m not a great typist
Ross: Wait!…

Jughead Jones was Chandler Bing. Get your cultural equivalencies correct CW.

Is this the movie where they all got married to different people too, or they generally changed the couples? I do not like reunion movies or flash forwards.

Sorry - I meant to response to the general article.

I read it as a child and teenager in the two thousands. I still read them when I’m up at the family cottage with my friends. We have Archie Comics from when my mom was going up there in the seventies. To me, they have always been very comforting.
