I saw this on the newsstand and my first thought was, "She looks like hell."

Does he have tenure? I BET HE DOES.

Well, this is one example why there's a "Policy Against Amorous Relationships." And just for the record, when you actually say something about a professor who is acting inappropriately toward you (especially a male professor), they get rewarded with an endowed chair for stealing your self-developed major and a little

This is so important: HISTORICAL CONTEXT. Thank you for this. It's all too simple to conflate "Nazi" with "Complicity in Holocaust." It's so much more complicated than that and to continue to oversimplify the politics and social climate of pre-war Germany is to do a disservice to really understanding what was

I've been trying to employ the, "Instead of freaking-out about X, go for a walk, take a drive, change the scenery." instead of unloading it all on Mr Professopatra (who is very reserved and when you ask him how his day was, unless something really irked him, he'll just tell you the basics/what you need to know). I

Oh yes, typo. Roanoke should've been the first clue that Virginia is uninhabitable.

Sweet Jesus. I'm so paranoid about expiration dates, I'll toss something if it's a day after the Sell By Date. I know it's irresponsible that I don't get around to eating it in the first place and that it's a waste of money, but I'd rather waste a few dollars than spend money I don't have on a trip to the ER or

Yeah, this is really sweet, I love this. What a great memory to have and such good, classy, warm role models. :)

So far this month in Virginia we've had: The Great Dismal Swamp burning and almost asphyxiating us all; now an earthquake which sent me freewheeling across my office in my desk chair; and this weekend, we get Hurricane Irene.

Aww, thank you! This really makes me feel better. :) Sometimes I feel like I'm meddling too much, but I just want people to have what I will never have and I know it will be worth the trouble!

<3 Thank you SO much! This is all so helpful!

Thank you!!! I'm compiling all suggestions. :) They are all very techy people, that's sort of part of the WTF-ness of it all.

I LOVE THIS. My boyfriend's brother is getting married this fall and his father is in chemo and won't be well-enough to attend the ceremony. Bride won't push back the wedding (despite invitations being sent in February and the cancer being diagnosed in May, it's been REALLY HARD not to call bullsh*t because I'd give

I definitely agree with other commenters below, that it's not just marriage. I put on weight when I started dating my boyfriend and then turned 30. I quit smoking before we started dating and then he started coming to my flat for dinner and we started eating regularly, sitting at the kitchen table and not hunched over

It's great that 9/11, an attack by a bunch of Muslims (in name only imo) is being memorialized by a bottle of alcohol. Who greenlights all this 9/11 crap?

*cackle*

Do I need a coupon or can I just show-up at the Papal Abort Pod and get my forgiveness?

I understand that, but a paradigm shift, away from the Judeo-Christian identity, keeping Islam isolated, is an impediment to many things, least of which is interfaith dialogue. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all Abrahamic faiths (i.e. tracing their lineage to the Prophet Abraham) so he represents the seed from

Win.

OOPSIE.
