No one has to tan to have a healthy looking complexion.

Oh, no. Bret went triple denim. That's advanced deniming. He should ... he should take it off. All of it. Slowly.

Me, this weekend, then. Thanks Kate.

I figure most people don't realize the protocol/withdrawal times for giving antibiotics to animals so I thought I would add that to the comments. Because it's not like they get it one day and get slaughtered the next. And I don't want people to think milk is loaded with antibiotics, because I am a dairy farmer.

Maybe less coffee would be a good idea.

I respectfully disagree. I think "parental instinct" was fully engaged here. You see what's going on, you know your kid, you know what the kid's thinking and what the kid's capabilities are, you think "What's the plausible worst thing that can happen?" and you also think, "What will the outcome be if I drop the…

Little kids are bouncy and much less prone to injuries. However, you could tell the little girl was freaked out immediately after the fall but since her mom didn't freak out she got over it and then said it was great.

I'm paying attention to her slow transformation into Janice from the Muppets.

I was dating this guy, and I was attracted to him on an intellectual level because he was so creative, but the physical attraction wasn't very high. He was kind of an awkward lover - if we switched from me on top to him on top, instead of rolling over, he'd stand up on the bed while I laid down. And not only would he…

My mom gave my daughter a porcelain doll when she was probably 8. She hated the creepy thing...they eyes followed you everywhere. She wanted to get rid of it, but resisted, because it was from my mom for years. In her early teens she finally threw it away.

In the books, Johanna was all about being naked or as close to naked as possible

But you have to remember, this would all be Capitol machinations. It seems pretty consistent and well-thought out given the actual world building. They live in a horribly corrupt system and one that is all about looks (etc.).

Capitol wouldn't even need to airbrush her for the most part, they would just full on do actual body modifications, right?

Well, I think the high editing totally makes sense for the HG worldbuilding (removal of all hair and such) but since we live in a culture that loves to do that shit anyway it's a bit hard to appreciate the commitment to accurate fictional world building isn't it? :/

I loved Barbie and somehow I managed to grow up to be a feminist, not have an eating disorder, and be enthused about math AND science. I wonder how that could have possibly happened? Could I perhaps have gleaned some positivity from a doll that can be anything and isn't just pretty, but was president, and astronaut,…

Also there's the whole "people as props" issue. If it's a thronging crowd, your friends/family, or someone famous, fine. Otherwise — if you really want the memory, take the picture, and keep it to yourself and yourself alone. Better yet, just don't.

Oh can I rant about the homeless one? Please?

I think the only proper response to this is : "Lol, Glendora."

Detroit is a 100% separate issue. It's about who foots the bill for water and city resources rather than availability and scarcity.
