I’ve never gotten them to stay up. I have big thighs but they’re soft or at least not super muscular. Every brand I bought just rolled back down, even the ones with both the sticky stuff at the top and laces. Actually they didn’t completely roll down but just sort of sadly hung there. So I now rock a garter belt and…

I think it’s news more because of the people involved - nominal local celebrities with a douchey sort of look. And it’s a little different from a breastfeeding mom just having a couple of drinks and fucking up the pump and dump time frame a little. In this case, the baby had enough of the drug in their system to test…

I think one of the problems is that a lot of these parents don’t see it that way. They likely feel just as entitled as their offspring and they are the ones that have fed into their kids’ sense of entitlement. In their minds, she did earn her way in by being smarter and better than those other kids and the only…

The dresser itself might not be deadly necessarily but the stuff falling off or out of it could be. Or a small child or pet could end up pinned or hit in the head by a drawer. The dressers can get top heavy and they’re not that heavy to begin with. One of my cats tipped one of these when he jumped up on it - at least…

I wish more people understood this. No one is preventing these people from going to church, reading the bible or playing their gospel music (at a reasonable volume). They just can’t foist their particular beliefs on anyone else and that includes denying people service because of those beliefs.

It has always bugged me how little attention Amber Riley seemed to get when she was on Glee. I get that Lea Michele was supposed to be the break out star and that, as a rule, the plus-sized brown folks get relegated to sidekick status but she is so talented. She was amazing on Dancing with the Stars and in The Wiz.…

Chili sauce. On the upside, my sinuses were totally clear for the next few hours.

She looks great there. It’s a shame that her collaboration with Torrid was so meh. If the clothes had been even sort of close to this, I would have jumped to snap up a couple of pieces.

How about you calm down and let some of us have our moment. Why is it you find it necessary to complain about us complaining about being shunted to the side in a thread about a black man’s moving and important speech? And speech that you managed to reduce to a footnote in your own comment.

Such a perfect example. Even when it’s a post about a black person, it’s a white celebrity’s garbled take that gets the attention. Along with a pleasant reminder that we need to step aside for bigger issues.

I loved this show when I was a kid. That, the Rat Patrol, and the Man from Uncle were my faves and now I totally have to spend the rest of the night looking them up on Youtube.

What makes you think that they haven’t done that? There are some sects of Christianity and Judaism that are extremely oppressive to women yet there are also Christian and Jewish women who are feminists. Shockingly there isn’t just one form of Islam just like there isn’t just one form of any major religion. And,…

My first field trip when I was in kindergarten was to the local health department to get vaccinated. I grew up in a very poor area and a lot of people didn’t have health insurance other than Medical Assistance and minimal access to a pediatrician on a regular basis. The local health department had a vaccine day where…

I haven’t had too much trouble but I use just a little if I’m spot treating. I do dump a capful in my laundry though with no trouble so far. I rarely wear white since that seems to be a signal for every possible bit of dirt to leap onto me.

Or he sees this as just one more thing to blame her for. In his twisted logic, she’s making him do all of this to her. It’s all her fault. People like this often take no real responsibility for their actions or their own reactions.

I have a a knife and some mace by the bed. I also have my cell phone, a security alarm, and the ability to close both bedroom doors so that, if someone breaks in, I can secure myself and call the police. I have no problem with guns in general. They’re just tools. I do have a problem with this mindset that we all live…

And it doesn’t have to be boring. Thinking about a meal as boring or routine can make it harder to stick to because it can make other foods that much more tempting. Adding some different spices or flavors to a salad or baked/grilled chicken and veggies isn’t that hard. You just keep the base of the meal the same.

I’ve run across a lot of people who have cable but don’t shell out for internet service and who don’t have a computer of any kind other than their phone. In my case, they tend to be poor and don’t have the money to shell out on a computer that they won’t use frequently. They and their kids use the internet on their…

Man, Toonami with Tom and Joe Boyd Vigil’s music between shows. Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing, Inuyasha. I remember when Toonami first started running in the afternoons and showed Robotech and Dragon Ball Z.

Lots of people do it with no -to their knowledge - negative side effects or think that hallucinating and doing weird shit is a great story. It’s not a big deal until something bad happens. Like flipping the fuck out on a plane and ending up in the hospital or waking up behind the wheel of your car flying down the…
