I'm just thrilled they didn't kill off Lafayette in the show...I heard he gets axed pretty early in the books and was dreading it because I LOVE his character!!!

my dog would be too scared to even go near that contraption.

Wow, ICQ still exists?! I haven't seen it since high school more than a decade ago; thought it had gone the way of the dodo.

In school (in Canada) when we learned about slavery in the US, any Canadian involvement was pretty much waved off with 'Canada didn't have slaves because our climate was unsuitable for that kind of agricultural system.' And I never heard another peep about it until adulthood (thank you internet!).

Maybe this workbook might help? http://www.amazon.ca/Binge-Eating-C…

As someone who was turned away from group therapy for binge eating because "I wasn't big enough so I wouldn't fit in" or somesuch bullshit, I can completely relate. Our society is bizarre indeed....

I don't understand why so many people don't seem to grasp that it's never okay for teachers to fuck their students.

I could see a sleazy plastic surgeon wearing this.

Lately I've been seeing ads for these "running" events where you get covered in powdered dye in different colours and come out looking like rainbow brite barfed all over you. Much like with a foam party, I've been wondering what that shit does to your eyeballs (and breathing in powdered dye is probably also not so…

the only saving grace in that entire clusterfuck of a personals ad was his proper spelling of "lose" (vs. "loose", which makes my brain yell).

TVD is some good escapist fluff. The first couple episodes are kinda "meh" but it gets better after that. Ian sexypants is definitely the best eye-candy on the show.

ugh, "jorts" is so unnecessary.

I only wear makeup a couple of times a year, for things like weddings or job interviews or whatever "dress up" occasion. I don't wear it to work or any of my regular life stuff.

Someone has to balance out the middle-aged lady who props her leg up on the bench in the middle of the change room and liberally pats giant plumes of baby powder into her giant 70s bush while smiling and conversing with people.

What about signing up for some kind of fun cooking classes together, as a couples activity? Nice thing to do together, with a potential for stealth cooking improvement.

I think that "thin-shaming" isn't quite in the same box as misandry and reverse-racism, because it's still a situation where women's bodies are turned into objects to be judged and mocked. And all women have to deal with some flavour of this shit, some sort of attack on their size, shape, femininity, desirability,…

My hubby carries a basic utilitarian Derek Alexander bag...it's not terribly fashionable but it does the job of keeping all his crap out of my purse :)

I insisted my hubby get a murse after we went on a trip and he kept having me lug all his shit in my already overstuffed purse. He resisted, but my nagging won out and he finally got a murse (a fairly small utilitarian manly-looking cross-body bag). And he realized how convenient they are and he loves it. Now he…

Every time I see someone walking around wearing tights or leggings as if they're pants my inner monologue screams "TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS INFRACTION!!!" coupled with a barely containable urge to give the person a ticket.

I'm happy to pay for online music, TV and movies if given the chance....but it needs to be in a timely fashion (not a year later), and not on DVD or any crap requiring a cable subscription - the whole point is that I don't have a TV! Since iTunes launched I've purchased 99.9% of my music from there. But if folks are…
