I fucking hate Thanksgiving, and the best one I've ever spent was the one during my study abroad semester in Eastern Europe in college. (It was just Thursday, I had class and went drinking that night, per usual). But, I put up with it since it's such a big fucking deal for everyone else. My father died a few years…

At least you have something to show for a mortgage, student loans (one or more degrees, I hope), car loan, etc. Those are investments of a type. I don't get these people who owe 50, 80, 100k on their credit cards (at 18.9% interest, natch) and have NOTHING to to show for it. And I'm not talking people who got…

Well, knowing people who enjoy these sorts of activities, unlocking for hygienic activities then becomes part of the D/s play. A good dom takes care of his/her sub, so regular washings will occur, just at the dom's behest. This fetish is really more about control than it is bondage or other physical sensations.

Noted, but you don't mess with Israel if you want to live to tell about it. The Mom and Pop behind that bakery website (or whatever) might know someone powerful— it's a small country, after all....

LOL. Oh those transitive verbs!

That whole "assassinate the terrorist leader in Dubai" plan didn't work out so hot, especially when you "borrow" the identities of citizens of your European allies. Oops!

Did these dweebs ever see the movie "Munich"? They think hacking and DOSing .co.il domained websites is all fun and LOLz... until Mossad comes and rubs them out in the night. And they won't have even seen it coming.

This story is so 1999 Sex and The City, for the record.

You have no idea how many of these sorts of things I've seen at goodwill for like $2 for the bowls and $8 for the tureen. And even that's too much. (and I have no place to put them, and never have dinner parties, especially not ones with specific seasonal dinnerware ensembles as I'm not nearly organized enough for…

A plane ticket to Somalia (libertarian paradise) and/or 1950 (when men were men and wimmins cooked for them).

Snooki confirmed this on the 1st (or 2nd? or 3rd?) season. It was "too big" for her "pinhole."

But the rich people have all the fun (and resources) and constantly tell the Poors that they can have the fun, glitzy stuff too if they just "worked hard enough" and "quit being poor." It's literally maddening that poor people vote Republican in DROVES— are they too stupid to see how they've been getting screwed for…

I second this— I had an apartment with drafty single-pane aluminum windows (70s construction!) and even just plain heavier drapes (not those sheer things) helped keep the draft down to a dull roar.

Please. People act like the end of the world has come and lose all common sense. I'm from PA, so we get a bit of snow most every winter, not Buffalo-type snow, but a few inches here and there. DC gets snow too. But everyone acts like it's nuclear waste falling from the sky and they panic. It's like, OMG, what is this…

I've been using them for years (pack of 4 at Ikea for $5, score!) and have suffered no ill effects. Perhaps you should readjust your tinfoil hat.
