As a Canadian, I fail to understand how anyone could believe that universal healthcare is bad. Maybe I am just blinded by the privilege, but the problems cause by our healthcare pale in comparison to what it could be. For example, I am about to have a baby and I can choose whatever I want (doctor, midwife, epidural,…

People have such awful things to say about adoption. My mom, in a recent conversation about it, said that there is usually a reason people give up their kids, no mother gives up a child she loves so the kids up for adoption are damaged and the parents know it. She then went on a racist rant about how the only kids you…

So I have a large kitchen sink that I cannot get clean. It is an enameled aluminum, or maybe iron, but the enamel has been damaged over the years so instead of being slick, it is kind of textured. The bottom is always kind of brown. I have used bleach, bar keepers friend, glass drive cleaner, etc. The best result so…

Because it can be a huge emotional burden. I breastfed, because I wanted to but I could not pump. So I was stuck with my baby 24/7/365. Don't get me wrong, I love her very much, but it was a huge fucking pain in the ass sometimes, like when I was tired or sick or wanted to go out for more than a couple of hours or…

I agree! Except most of the men dress in pretty basic suits. The only male thumbs down in the bunch is the Jonas brother with the long coat. I hate long suit jackets...it just looks like they are wearing a trench as a suit. Or sometimes it looks like a robe. Either way, hate.

It kind of makes her look older. She shouldn't have tried such bleach blonde, could've pulled off a honey blonde maybe.

Find a restaurant that lets you bring your own wine in! They charge you a corking fee, but its fun and I have never really come across other places that do this. And practice not getting your feelings hurt if your French is bad.

I knew a boy in university who was just like troy. He was so insecure about everything, but he tried to make it seem like you were the insecure one. He liked to ruin anything you felt excited/enthusiastic about because he was too afraid to be enthusiastic just in case someone made fun of him. It was all very neurotic.

I am always confused when I finish reading, I feel like I missed a reference or something. Really its just that I skip large parts of it.

You're right, it is fairly narrow. I should have said that when writing blurbs, joke should be quick and to the point.

I agree, he deserved the header, instead of whatever gibberish about Charlie sheen. Seriously, I have a hard time making it through Sundays on jezebel, Doug Barry goes on long tangents that I never quite understand. If it takes 3 sentences to set up the joke, it is never going to be funny.

Yes, I just started,watching Friday night lights (I am always behind on tv shows). And I like it! So good.

Customers do that on occasion, its like they sense hesitation or whatever and think they can exploit it. There was one dude who used to come into a sandwich shop I worked in. He was constantly trying to get discounts and deals and his approach varied depending on who he talked to. He was never aggressive with me (I…

I can't stand watching sports, I find it tedious, but I looooove sports movies. Esp football movies. I love when the whole team works together in the end, to over come their differences and win the big game! Or lose the game and win life. But I will tell you the end of stranger than fiction disappointed me. I felt…

Nope, she won't care. As she gets older she will start to make demands about what she wants to wear. I find my 3yr old girl likes a wide variety of things *I flatter myself to think it is because I insisted on non gender conformity). She like pretty dresses, but she also likes sweats. She tends to like graphic Ts more…

Then there is the person who insists on reminding everyone that the day was based on st. Valentine, and then they include various (mostly inaccurate) facts about how the day was originally meant to commemorate his horrific dismemberment or decades long imprisonment/torture.

I wish people would stop talking about this garbage. I am all for non traditional literary outlets, but all this internet publishing (fanfic, blogs etc) is just irritating. Publishers take no risk on new fiction (or non fiction, like that stupid 30 days of dating diary crap) because it is already well read before they…

I think this is exactly the case. My brother was my bully when I was young. He was honestly horrible to me. However, now that we are older he doesn't seem to remember any of it the way I do and he has basically said 'we were kids, so just get over it'. He has never apologized and he never will, he just assumes that I…

So, I totally agree with Kristin bell, however if this goes to court and becomes a law they should also stipulate that celebs can't accept money for pictures of their kids. It shouldn't just be about the kids being exploited and harassed by strangers, it that's really a concern parents shouldn't be allowed to do it…

Mine too! He always made me vaguely uncomfortable because of this role. Made me love his acting even more!
