I am down with all of these except the last one. The way that man is leaning back on his hands makes me nervous just looking at it. Yes, love wins... unless your partner falls off of a cliff in mid-kiss! (haha sorry. Huge fear of heights.)

But if someone never actually makes anything completely on their own, they’ll never feel anything when it’s misused.

That happened to me years ago, too. I am SUPER regular and it just stopped for months. I took several pregnancy tests and all were negative. Went to the doctor and they said I was normal and it was stress. Turned out, it was fine. But, it wasn’t stress. This happened during one of the happiest times of my life. He…

What he wants from this exchange is enforcement of the sort of old fashioned, seemingly arbitrary etiquette rules that used to clearly define the differences in class between those being served and those serving. The dinner should be a presentation and the server should be a part of his atmosphere. They should know…

Right. I went to grad school with a woman who literally walked out of the room when we talked about anything she didn’t believe in. She refused to read about or listen to lectures that conflicted with her beliefs. Weirdly, this was a Catholic University and her beliefs were ultra-conservative Catholic. Catholic school…

Isn’t believing that plants matter considered liberal indoctrination at this point? Also, I’m pretty sure that the study of cells, any cells, is now considered a sort of “gateway drug” into further cell research and we all know where that will lead. You’re already doing your part to brainwash the youth of America into…

I second this.

But I bet she remembers encountering you. Responses like that are the ones that really start to open minds.

Me too. That was one of those stories that just sticks with you forever.

What the hell? Why not just eat half of the bagel and save the rest for later rather than eating a whole (gross) bagel? Also, I could see that adding up to more fat if you hollowed it out because a lot of people may unconsciously add more cream cheese or butter than usual to fill the hole.

I am not saying you’re wrong, but shouldn’t being unfamiliar with something make you MORE cautious?? I know that when I travel and local signs or people tell me not to do something, I trust their knowledge of the area more than my gut, “ahh, it’ll be okay” feeling.

I think people are too hard on Ted Cruz. He works really hard. That level of condescension has got to be difficult to maintain for someone who exists in a state of militant ignorance. His answer to the question, “Who do YOU believe is the greatest living president?” is, “I’ll leave that for the people to decide”?! Um,…

I am like that, too. I love baking and making things with chocolate, but there are things I won’t make anymore because they involve too much hands on work and after a certain point I just cannot deal with sticky hands no matter how delicious or pretty the outcome. I just end up pissed off halfway through and never…

I like that because also teaches empathy and concern for the person who cooked/delivered the meal. Mealtime isn’t just about them. BCO is mostly about interacting with people who never learned that.

I don’t like creamed spinach either, but that sounds wonderful. I would eat all of that and reevaluate my dislike of creamed vegetables if served that meal.

When I was a kid my dad used to give me pickled pigs feet. I remember eating them and liking them. I have no recollection of what they taste like because at a certain age I was just, like no. But, for some reason, cheesecake was totally off the table. I wouldn’t touch it. Ahh, kid logic. Chewing on a pickled pig hoof?…

Haha yep. He’s a nut. Funny, after talking about this, I took a shower and was thinking about this conversation. Wouldn’t you know it, I nicked my chin with the razor for the first time I can remember in recent memory?

He can never find one he likes and, honestly, I don’t think he does it often enough to get the results he wants.

My then boyfriend, now husband is really self conscious about his nose hair and the maintenance it requires. He once asked me how I (and I think girls in general) cut my nose hair so cleanly that it looks I don’t have any. When I told him I don’t need to do anything to it, he was so jealous and bummed that I didn’t…

Me too. They went out of their way to minimize any actual impact on him. It’s such a blatant effort to shut everyone up while making sure their officer faces no real negative consequences and business as usual can continue. I can almost picture them sitting him down and saying something like, “We have to suspend you…
