Meh. She was scared and acted stupidly. A few minutes in the back of a squad car would have solved it. They do it that way all the time. Arresting her was a good story to tell though. I have to confess that's true. And they were assholes for driving drunk.

I dunno. He could have just called another car and had someone stick her in the back of it until they were done arresting her husband. I think she was just scared and covering it with bluster. I'm not really seeing the need to arrest her. I have a feeling he did know who she was. Thus, the arrest was something he…

All arrests aside, I really like her new hair color and want it for my very own.

I agree. Go to online places in the UK. Better clothes and more fashionable.

I might buy that if they didn't blame me for it, and if they didn't look so confused about it, when they get their grades.

Yeah, no. Boomers aren't these kids' parents. They are the grandparents. And the kids' parents were the first generation that had to work more and made less. My guess is that much of this can be blamed on expectations created by the media, combined with guilt from parents over having to work so much. (They gave them…

My favorite is getting the papers in the afternoon and then getting emails asking the next morning around 6am why they don't have their grades yet. Sigh.

Alas, I find this attitude very common in the classes I teach. They want a good grade, but don't want to actually work for it. In fact, they will often blame me for their own bad grades.

Yeah. She really seems pretty great.

Also, sadly, during my elimination diet phase (with doctor guidance), I made the sad discovery that milk products and I will never be close again. Alas.

My body hates soy. I don't give it much of that. I do like ears of corn in season. But, corn is added into almost everything. It's out of control. I'm sure many people here don't eat fresh veggies and fruit all the time. The convenience of packaged food is hard to resist. But the corn additives are legion. That's what…

Yikes. I'm sorry you had that experience. :(

I've taken it very, very slow. I tell myself I'm giving my cells really good things. I'm making my cells happy. If that results in smaller pants, great! But, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will. Many of us have been brainwashed into believing things that aren't true about our bodies and our inner selves, based on…

Really? Wow, so you must not be well acquainted with the very expensive diet industry that gets you thin on too few calories, slows your metabolism, and then welcomes your money back with open arms when you come back.

When I was quite overweight (PCOS) at one point, I remember always enduring the shock SHOCK! from my doctor about how my blood pressure was always being a beautiful 110/70. Also, my cholesterol was perfect. It's likely a combination of factors, like genetics, but really, also, I ate so well. I had tons of vegetables…

I have PCOS, confirmed by a scan when I was younger, but it takes a really good gynecologist to see it immediately. When I found one, and explained my symptoms and said, "I've told these same symptoms to my regular doctor, and she's never had a diagnosis," he actually rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, that's not…

EXACTLY.

This makes me want to slap the living shit out of someone. I don't know who, but someone. Look, it is one thing to teach an older child, say, oh, thirteen or so, how to safely deal with and use a firearm, especially if one lives on a farm. It is quite another to hand a five year old a gun. That is the age where we…

I am now deeply in love with the word "sexile." I'm taking it home and making it my newest best friend.

This seems like something that is no longer interesting, if it ever was, the Tucker Max rude thing. It was perhaps shocking or rude or whatever once, but now, he just seems like an overprivileged child, who has peaked and gone. I never really got the appeal, but now, it is not only all the negative things it was, but…
