Ha, so maybe I should actually be grateful that my necklace was later stolen? (Come to think of it, my life did markedly improve shortly after that!)

It's got to be hard for you. I'm not being sarcastic at all. I know I'm guilty of this ... I like babies at a arm's distance ... but I want them cute and quiet ... ALWAYS. I know that's not realistic. I know kids have their bad moments ... they get frustrated and can't express it. I know they get loud when…

See that I understand, but see even then the terminology is "subs" and "doms" and it's part of BDSM culture. I'm just pointing out that alphas and betas is pretty much a PAU and Omegaverse thing, so I find it really suspicious that it's being used in this context. Other parts of the letter are also setting off my…

Your BF's husband sounds intolerable. If you haven't already figured out a solution for the gift card, you might consider a gift-card swapping site or selling it on ebay (for face value, minus shipping.) I used to do that when a well-meaning relative would give me cards to stores I couldn't or wouldn't use.

Anything that enables me to eat an entire bowl of dip while saying "It's soup, it's healthy!" with a straight face is A OK with me!

so I re watched the movie a couple of years ago and it's just fucking awful. They cut out half of the songs from the play, including "NYC" and "Annie", I mean what the fuck??? Then they added a bunch of new songs that just sucked ass. They also added Punjab, who was in the comic but not the play and he detracted…

You must really love your friend to put up with that dickhole.

Ally Mcbeal smashed the whole Annie can't be black thing years ago. I remember watching that episode as a child and it just really touched me. When your black they always force you to take the role of background characters in the play because XYZ character is white not black. Anyway, your BF's husband can go fuck…

Wow...You need to have a Come to Jesus talk with her because...

In defense of everyone, everywhere, she looks RADICALLY different. I don't think anyone is saying she looks bad, it's just very surprising. I mean, she does not look like herself at all, and that ain't just the eyebrows.

You know, I think it may have something to do with the fact that they can barely handle quarantining the thousands of people who are dying of this disease.

Yes, medical professionals made mistakes and got infected. Why is everyone so convinced this couldn't possibly happen with an animal? Of course it could, and add on top of that the unpredictability of a frightened and potentially ill animal- you can at least be certain that a person won't bite you. And yes, I do think…

So, what happens if it turns out that dogs are asymptomatic but still contagious to humans? How are you going to deal with that? And the CDC is not waiting for random accidental infections to study transmission between dogs- they are going to do that with experimental animals. …… these are such basic concerns I'm kind…

….. if you're a Public Health Doctor (™), then surely you understand that spraying a high-powered hose at a pile of poop is going to spray poop and the associated germs into the air, much like flushing a toilet does, right? And that it's going to leave behind a puddle with some small, but non-zero, amount of sewage in…

Yes. The Animatrix. All of those shorts are leaps and bounds better than all 3 Matrix movies combined.

The difficult things are what happen later on, as another commenter already stated. When actual real and bad things happen that *don't* have anything to do with "omg so many presents to thank for!". That is not a problem. That is minor chore. Problems are when your spouse loses their job a month before Christmas.…

What good is Halloween if you don't create your own costume? Even if you just buy supplies from different stores—pre-made, pre-packaged costumes are always so terrible. That being said, I'm still not 100% on my costume for this year. I'm leaning wayyy towards being a disco zombie (disco's dead, get it? stupid, i know)…

The searches aren't creative because they are likely from those who are buying costumes opposed to those that make them. Here's some creativity for you. I spent a year sourcing material like dolls from thrift stores that I cut apart, hand painted, and sewed to a corset that was tea dyed and embelished with lace. I…

This is a response to Jan74 (not the article as a whole, which I really liked):

You don't aim as well as you think you can.
