I bet I have that same issue. Do you use those shoe inserts with a bump just before the ball of your foot to take pressure off your metatarsals? If so, how do you keep the damn things from shifting around in your shoe, even with the glue on the bottom? I realize this has nothing to do with the subject at hand, but I’m…

I cringe when I see people in movies put their shoes on the bed.  I’d ask if they were born in a barn, but I don’t think animals purposely bring filth into the area in which they sleep.

They’re just assholes. Like the people who walk on my dog’s bed with their shoes on. Do they want me to walk on their sheets with my street shoes on? Even if they do, I have better manners than that. I know it’s a large bed, and that it’s in your way, but if you weren’t in such a hurry to get someplace even though you…

Compare New Jersey and Virginia, and tell me which one is more sane.  It’s not going to be Virginia.

If I remember correctly, hyenas also mate for life.  They get a bad rap, especially in The Lion King.

I agree with you. All superior athletes are superior athletes because of genetic advantage, and blaming only certain athletes for their advantage is an injustice. In my family, all of the other kids got the athletic gene. They’re fantastic athletes. I didn’t get it. Which is fine with me; I got the gene where I can…

One patient McDonald-Mosley recently worked with concluded that a non-hormonal septic contraceptive gel would work best for her—only for her insurance company to require her to pay $300 out-of-pocket for just 12 applications of the gel, which she couldn’t afford.

The masks just show you who the assholes are; the people who don’t give a shit about anyone else. It’s like the Tea Party license plates in the state where I live. They’re telling you they’re assholes; believe them when they tell you and stay away from them.

This is similar to the discussions of pornography and how people act after seeing lots of pornography.  Men generally expect women to act like the women they see in porn.  Women by and large don’t act like that.  It can be a problem.

I avoid anything more specific than “You look great!”

I’ve got a whole list.

I have a vague memory of reading that in Ireland up until a date that was surprisingly recent, the Catholic church held that if it came to a situation in which a fetus or a mother was to be saved, go with the fetus.  No matter that the mother might have other kids.  No matter what the father thought.  Dump the woman,…

God, that’s appalling.

Some people are bilingual.

Lisa Murkowski is a Senator from Alaska, not Alabama.

I used my sunroof all the time in Denver. It wasn’t so humid that AC was required, and the sun was nice. Now that I live where it’s humid, the sunroof is mostly to add more air movement when the dog is in the car (no worries; I leave her only if it’s below 65 degrees).

Yeah, generally, huh?  How about specifics?

The fewer people who have the virus, the fewer opportunities the virus has to mutate.

If you have pets, you can find stuff to melt ice that doesn’t react badly with their paws.  Either that, or make sure you wipe them off and dry them whenever they come in.

Wes, I know you’re a guy, but duck boots/snow boots with heels for women are inefficient and dangerous. And really stupid, unless you like your ankles in more pieces than they were in when you got up that morning. Duck boots with heels are for when you don’t actually need them but want to pretend you do and look…
