THANK YOU. A B.Sc. and a J.D. could not help me decipher what was meant in this article.

I saw her pre-Glee on Broadway in "Spring Awakening". Stupendous performance - I definitely hope that she goes back to shine on stage.

yes, except on square faces like mine. Sigh.

Even the scientific name of the condition can't prevent the dreams called forth by his eyes!

Yes, I too have succumbed to the Stork man's charm and wit. I should pull out some of the fan art from my teenage years.

I am soooo happy to see my past 12 years of wishful thinking vindicated!

J. Lo is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen with my own eyes, for realsies. Her skin glows, her hair shines, and her booty is even more impressive IRL. I was in awe.

Ditto. Mr. Penguin and I watched it last year for the first time... Laughs were had at the tragic moments and not a single tear was shed.

Are we the same person? I am exactly in the same head space right now. My spouse is getting all kinds of pressure from the parents and the brothers, and though they all know that I hmm... strongly dislike kids and have never felt otherwise, they just assume that my feelings are going to change because, you know, "it's…

Which prompts the question...

Most important questions of utmost urgency: where is the wedding dress from and how do I get my hands on one? How do I wear it with a sizeable bust?

Fascinating. Here in Quebec, we have a quasi-constitutional right called "right to (one's) image". Even consenting to a photograph being taken does not automatically equate to consent to have a recognizable image being published (of course, the press is one exception). I find that our way makes perfect sense,…

Sadly, hardly surprising. After all, Korea's almost wanton relationship with plastic surgery has spread widely across Asia with the popularity of Korea pop culture. I applaud her for skipping town and defying the pressure.

See my reply above to Kelly. It's to protect gender equality.

You can only change it for a "serious reason": eg: a truly ridiculous or infamous name. So no, even with consent, under the current laws of Quebec, you can't.

Of course, some people are always bound to complain. Who knows, maybe once we have achieved true, unwavering equality (close, but not quite there yet), freedom of choice of names can make a comeback.

It is. It is even more when knowing that the reform came in a 1981 bill (Quebec's Charter of Rights), which meant, among other things, to protect equality between men and women. Back then, Quebec's Catholic Church dominated history and its subsequent downfall warranted such measures and the law was never challenged…

Parents' choice. We have a high incidence of hyphenated last names (eg: Pierre Tremblay-Ouellette). not perfect, but a compromise nonetheless.

I happily love in Quebec, Canada, where taking on your spouse's name is not allowed by law and generally seen by society as old-fashioned.

I personally approve of this. Having learned from the Señoras giving pedicures on the sidewalks of Panama City, cleavage is the best place to keep your cell phone.
