A close friend of mine adopted two children (blood siblings) who are black and he is terrified for them. Since he and his wife are white they frequently encounter strangers who feel the need to make racist comments about a 5 year old and 1 year old. I just cannot even imagine how afraid these stories make them for…

So he wasn’t “cooperating” (*cough*bullshit*cough*) and that means it is okay to gun him down? And let him bleed out without even trying to help him despite being trained to do so? I really feel like throwing up right now, I am so disgusted.

I grew up in Minnesota and was a kid when this happened. It really changed things for a lot of us. Parents were afraid to let their kids play outside alone after this happened. All these years later I still remember when it first happened. I hope that having a body to bury will bring some closure to his parents.

Can I get this for my boobs? Underboob sweat is THE WORST! Especially in the summer.

I love Hero Rats! I have been a fan of their amazing work since the early days of the project. Not only was it a genuis idea (since the pouched rats are more easily trained, handled, and cannot set off the mines accidentally), but Bart Wheetjens faced a lot of skepticism and criticism and didn’t let it deter him. They…

Every time I hear a white dude make comparisons like that (civil rights, abolition of slavery) I want to punch him in the throat. It’s some pretty epic entitlement to think that your “struggle” to control women’s bodies is the same as the end of slavery or the struggle for equal rights.

I agree with you but the article states that she delivered in the back of a car and it died after 30 minutes. I don’t agree, but perhaps the fact that it survived for any amount of time after birth is what they are using to justify murder. Not sure how this will go from a legal stand point but since certain groups of…

I have two kitties (a six year old female and a 10 month old male) and both of them love the cat dancer toy. Though my kitten will kill anything he can get his paws and teeth on. Such as my mail, my ankles when I walk away from him, my yoga mat, expensive art books, my blinds, scarves... I will never get my damage…

All righty. Former pharmacy person here. Here’s a brief low down on acetaminophen (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).

How often do you find you need to go in for a cut? I feel like $70 isn't awful if it isn't often, but I am just finishing up my second degree and have not been working through my clinical rotations so I may have to wait until I get a job post-graduation...

You are an angel for posting this. I have yet to find a salon that doesn't ruin my curly hair with a bad cut.

I agree with those wholeheartedly and would also like to add that the type of people who like to "tell it like it is" rarely can handle being treated or talked to the way they treat and talk to others.

So, things likely to result in getting pepper sprayed (or other bodily harm): Black Friday shopping at Walmart, "storming" a police station.

Why thank you! I find it has so many applications these days.

She is a skid mark on the underwear of humanity.

I loathe candy corn, but there is just something about candy canes. It's like, I generally know I won't super enjoy them but if someone foists them upon me I will out of habit consume them. Especially the cherry flavored candy canes. They taste like cough syrup. And I know they will taste like cough syrup when I see…

My ex tried to say that if we ever broke up we would have to discuss where the pets went. I laughed in his face and said that I paid for the animals myself (one of whom predated the relationship by 2 years), all their medical care as well as all their food and supplies. And that I had kept all the receipts. So he was…

Aw, thanks! My ex actively tries to hide what he did, or out right lies about. I figure if my story can help educate, support or enlighten then it is the least I can do. Spreading the word about what a dbag my ex was is a nice bonus, too.

The prosecutor in my case seemed to have pretty much given up. She kept talking about how she was sure my ex would re-offend and that it would likely be worse for the next victim but that it wasn't my problem. I insisted it was everyone's problem and at the very least they should require anger management and therapy…

I agree with you. I think there are good ones but inexperience, poor training or douchebaggery can lead to unhelpful cops in DV situations.
