@queequeg — THAT'S exactly what _I_ was wondering!

I mean, yay, marathon achieved 'n' everything, but...I don't know *any* uberrunner that wears niceyundies when running. They all either wear ultraperformance undies or none because they're wearing the superimportantwicking-nonchafingshorts that preclude underwear.
(Pe…

I also have feels about this, despite what I said in another thread, too. Went over to where the video was posted, and a number of people said the same thing: she should have been able to have the chance to stand up to what was said+him playing white knight took away her power to give her words. That said, I also…

@Mr. Ogre — I like your point in that the way he was responded to was (maybe) in the 'way he can understand,' as I guess that's the (only) way I can be okay with the "fat" thing — 'cause, yeah, as @nerdybirdy said above, lame insults=notsocool.

@cookiecutter — If you are planning on getting an IUD, you'd definitely want to get an allergy test for copper. Looking, for example, at the ParaGard® website in the contraindications for use section it says "Allergy to any component of ParaGard®" — and of course, there's copper. I suppose one might say (some ob/gyns…

olde fashioned hairpins. they're da bomb.

Quoted from that article: "Interestingly, there is no correlation between the states that sell the most prescription drugs with the states that have the most deaths."

@KatieKaBoom22 — she wasn't on Celebrity Rehab (that I know of) — but Dr. Drew "mentors" the teens on Teen Mom, and I'm frequently disturbed (read: enraged) by his "wrap-up/review" sessions at the end of each season with the moms. While he may do more behind the scenes, what he ends up presenting to the world is a…

@jwuzah That's an interesting take on what I said. I did in fact watch Dr. Jenn, but at about 3 a.m., so at the moment, I can't remember anything that she said that I said other than 'why not,' and I wouldn't say that's "plagarized," though I would say it's paraphrased: She said a number of things, and she most…

Farrah: I...can't...even.
I've been watching her (quite honestly, from a psych/sociological point of view) since she the first '16 & Pregnant'. Working with young adults in a variety of ways for (mumblemumble-alotofyears) I just want to take her back about 18 years and Help Her Start Over.
I can't properly muster *any*…

@CatHullabaloo
Got it, and much agreed. Sincere apologies if necessary; your intended tone was lost in my over-trolled/over-all-the-ignorance Friday/frieday brain.

@katell

Nothing "LOL" about either of those topics.

Speaking of ARMS — I would surely part with more of my cold hard cash (assuming I had more to part with) if not only mannequins would have more body fat, but ARM FAT: there rarely is a shirt/dress with sleeves or sleeve openings that aren't stretchy that my arms fit in. It Is Infuriating! I'm a size 12 jeans, but I'm…

@ghuleh (zombie queen)
Gotcha.
(fwiw, I'm in Washington State, and spent much of my time in Canada growing up and partly in college; my father married a B.C. woman when I was a child and emigrated there — I'm aware of the problems there, too — it definitely is :( — and I care. It's beyond ick, beyond grr, and I think…

To be fair, not having knowledge of the connotations of (to quote Wikipedia) "the watermelon stereotype" may be because of one's regional background. I have lived all my 45 years in the Pacific Northwest; I had to look it up. Looking at various sources, I see frequent references to Southern or East Coast culture, or…

@regularjane

I don't think there's any doubt that there's an issue with the U.S. and human trafficking — even the FBI (via Bureau of Justice Statistics) gave a number of "2,515 suspected incidents of human trafficking for investigation between January 2008 and June 2010," 80% of which were classified as sex trafficking — and that…

This infuriates me on so many levels I don't even know where to start. If I start re-stating what people have mentioned, I'm simply going to post a "yeah. this. what they said." post. If I start my mouth, this post is going to be a compilation of every compound curse phrase I know and/or have made up myself (and there…

@lollipopKABOOM — indeed, m'lady, sexual empowerment Yoda, indeed.
I hate to date myself (er, so many ways that could be interpreted, especially with this topic), but, 20 years ago, I essentially was doing this same thing right along with Ke$sha, rocking out in the Seattle music biz, getting in some incredible…

haha — I think I actually have them now! pinkmartens
