the organization created the position just for him and i think his salary actually comes from charles' estate (he pays the org to pay william). So its nothing at all like a normal-person job. Also, i dont think he should be flying in a professional capacity. His eyesight isn't perfect (there are some pics floating…

still too much. i could buy a couple of freddo frogs with that money.

Definitely. This is especially true when it comes to budget accommodation. I stayed in one hostel in eastern europe which was pretty creepy. Basically empty because it was in the middle of winter, and the manager made several suggestive comments to me throughout my stay. I didnt feel safe knowing he had the key to my…

Huh?

wish it was only that one doctor, but Ive had many terrible experiences with GPs. I used to respect the medical profession, but boy has that changed over the years.

Depends on your doctor though. Things are a lot more cautious these days here

Just one problem: those words are specifically banned by TripAdvisor due to a site-wide ban on "political language,"

I really hate to disappoint, but not only don't the kids have a bead on the Beatles, when they do hear the Beatles they don't often get why they were a big deal. The music sounds...okay. Small. Or weird, depending. They're not particularly moved by Eleanor Rigby.

The proof is in the photo. The fact you refuse to see the problem with the dog's selectively bred shape (which is biomechanically unsound, and causes all sorts of stresses for the dog) simply demonstrates your bias. Go bang your drum elsewhere.

Stop being so defensive and do some research. Selective breeding over decades has resulted in a highly unnatural body shape. Look at the difference.

Oh the catherine scene was awful too! Especially how she's forced to watch lady rochford's beheading first. A couple of weeks ago I watched the finale of the BBC's Wolf Hall, and yep, when anne was beheaded, I welled up. And the Anne in this production isnt even a sympathetic character. Those damn tudors get me every…

I'm so glad it wasn't just me! I am so not a TV crier usually. But damn, that scene and Natalie Dormer. Plus the actor who played george boleyn kinda looks like my brother. Emotions, ugh.

I'm totally going to email the staff too! Lets do this!

Haha. It reminds me of my college days, the course titles sounded like punishments, even though the content was interesting. Colleges are so obsessed with marketing and being hip to the groove these days, I wonder why they don't put more effort into making the courses sound interesting?

didactic is probably the wrong term, because Atwood is definitely not a preachy author in general. Maybe she could stand to be a little more preachy, tbh. I've always found in atwood's work (not just the dystopias, but her realism too) that she describes utterly awful things people do, but she is very, very careful to…

I don't know if this counts as a meltdown, but it involved crying. I was traveling through spain and to save money I stayed a couple of nights in a hostel, and I was in a dormitory with 6 other women.

Definitely! Genetic diversity is everything, and pound mutts are great. Part of the fun is figuring out what mix they are.

Cute. But I always feel sorry for dachshunds, and other animals who have been selectively bred into a state of ridiculousness.

Not Beloved, only Sula so far, which I thought was a good book.

talk therapy doesn't work for everyone. Ages ago i came across a really interesting study which showed that many people dont find an improvement in wellbeing after undergoing therapy. Probably a lot depends on the underlying issue you have, and also one's personality, but it also sounds like your therapist wasn't a…
