"but it's a well-known catch-22 of the poorly-sighted that when we don't wear our glasses, we can't find our glasses. "

Watched that in the library with the sound off. I sure hope it makes more sense with audio, but it doesn't sound like it.

@bride of funkenstein: With everyone on the subway stinking as bad as they do already, imagine how bad it would be if all the men took this article seriously and stopped even trying. ;)

For the love of god, if I have to smell one more stinky bastard on the subway, I'm going to start handing out containers of Speed Stick. And here 's someone encouraging their stench? Jesus christ.

I use a body pillow between my breasts and knees. Ultimate back comfort for side sleepers.

@PrisonBreakShaker: "Employers deciding what is necessary instead of employees is inherently wrong" sounds like you think employees should decide what's necessary. I wasn't sure if you meant employees should be able to do that without any checks and balances, which was why I asked.

@SomeAuthorGirl: You know, I just realized that when I had my gall bladder out two years ago, no one at HR asked for any verification. I used my available sick time and a few days vacation time and it was all good. I could have been getting my boobs done, for all anyone knows. I could have gone to Tahiti for all…

@PrisonBreakShaker: "Employers deciding what is necessary instead of employees is inherently wrong."

@MrsPsmith: It varies by employer and you often have to be employed full-time to get any benefits at all, including sick leave. I currently get 12 days/year; the last place I was at I got 2/year. If something catastrophic happens, I get disability leave and my pay is reduced. And I'm one of the lucky ones.

Never read the books and can't stand Heigel. But those boots are freakin' awesome.

Is "considerateness" really a word?

@chocho-san: But they're not widely known for child sex abuse. I'm certainly not going to defend the LDS, but I've already heard some outrageous stories being spread about them by Protestant fundamentalists, usually about how their faith is disguised devil-worship. If "traditional" Christians are that suspicious of…

I've always wondered about Christians who get involved with non-Christians. From what I understand, per their faith, anyone who doesn't accept Jesus Christ as their savior is goin' to hell. Doesn't it suck really hard to love, live with, maybe even raise children with someone you believed is eternally damned?

If this church was less old and less powerful, the authorities would be all over their asses. See Waco and the FDLS.

Am I the only woman who actually gets the regular trims recommended by hairstylists and every women's magazine article ever written about hair? If I let six whole months pass without a trim, I'd look like the Bride of Frankenstein.

I'm the moe who was totally honest in my profile. Maybe that's why I had to write it off as a failed experiment and delete it?

@BrilliantCorners: I'm sorry, but seeing the words "shaved vulvas" in such close proximity to the words "irritates me" made me laugh so hard I also most didn't read the rest of your comment. :)

So, she's Mel's black friend? The one that proves he's not a racist?

The points made in the write-up itself are completely true. Labeling Shepherd a potential "genetic freak" in the headline is a little too close to "strong woman = unnatural" for my comfort.

@mannequin: I guess Roseanne would the exception that proves the rule. Her weight came up, because it often does when you're fat, but it wasn't the defining element of the show.
