Here in the EU there are strict laws to ensure the exact opposite. You see we produce fizzy wine all over, but only the Champagne region gets to call it that. Same with Port wine, Madeira, cheeses, ham etc. The regions that produce these products have worked for centuries in the development of the product and its…

YES. I read another answer upthread complaining he wasn't being feminist enough for their liking and was just depressed. The water isn't quite wet enough for some people. I for one like and encourage allies to speak up, especially if they are as articulate as he is.

I'm agnostic and my favourite holiday is christmas, mainly because for me it's all about family, which is ok to celebrate in my book. We decorated our tree yesterday also.

Oh god, what have you doneto those potatos? That's just wrong.

Yes, a thousand times :D , there are no guarantees while you're pregnant or have children. Things can go wrong no matter what you do. Or right. The truth is you just have to do the best you can and love them regardless of how the pregnancy and the baby turns out. I keep imagining that if something went wrong, like…

I'm starting by saying I'm sorry for insulting your loved one, but he is an idiot. Overweight lady here, almost fourty, six months pregnant. So big bad start here, but my baby is fine and as healthy as can be (all the tests say) and so am I. No high blood pressure, no G Diabetes, no pre-eclampsia. So it is possible…

Yeah, I've come to Jezebel for some levity and fun ( our national press is too depressing for words today) but it didn't work, it's even worse. I'll just go and read a romance novel and forget how bad the world sucks.

Most jealous guys will control you, who you're friends are, how you dress, where you go... not worth the hassle. Plus the verbal abuse that comes with a crisis.

Add Kundera to the mix, mainly for his Umbearable Lightness of Being. Guys who dig him are, in general, big tools. As for the others, Bukowski is the one I actually like.

Some of his poetry is amazing. His prose I'll pass.

To me it's just his writing that gets me- too dry, too clinical, no one is allowed to feel unless it's the main character, and that's usually self loathing. Give me Orwell or F. Scott Fitzgerald as a lost generation representative any time of the week.

I know several, some of them teach literature to highschoolers. No wonder they finish hih school hating books.

Book snobs are THE WORST. Just let other people enjoy their books and be quiet.

He really is insufferable. Milan Kundera is another one of my pet peeves.

The obvious: sexist, racist, classist, rude to servers, violent or jealous. A jealous man is just a gateway to abuse.

I'm usually something called a class director, which means I'm responsible for a certain class. I deal with paperwork, parents and the kids themselves. It's up to me to deal with their concerns, problems and complaints, so there's a big chance I'd hear about it if the victim was in my class. Not sure if the same…

Had to stop for the same reason. I'm a high school teacher and this is just too horrifying for words.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm barely showing now, because I'm really tall (5'10) and have wide hips. The belly will get bigger, but not by much my OB says.

Six months pregnant here. It's not uncomfortable. Althouh you feeelthe baby move you kind of forget the whole baby thing, it's just your body.

Vinho verde with a platter of seafood is actually my deffinition of a perfect meal.
