I was just today thinking, I wondered what the Jez-verse take on "Jan" from the recent Toyota ads would be. One ad, her pregnancy is not acknowledged, but not hidden. Another, she is actually congratulated on her pregnancy.

This is my real-life right now! I'm over 5 months pregnant, but it's a high-risk pregnancy so I just don't feel like talking about it to anyone outside my tiny little group. I constantly make sure I have a very large purse, jacket or whatever to cover my bump. It's getting really hard though since I'm 4'11 and…

And then there's Maude.

"We need to privatize everything-even education."
"Some PUBLIC TELEVISION hippy who is NOT EVEN WHITE is sort of doing that."
"THAT'S NOT WHAT WE MEANT."

I feel the moms would win because the whole "but...but...will no one think of the CHILDREN!" bitch-moan basically wins over every other bitch-moan.

Has there ever been a real evaluation of the impact of Accutane on patients?

Oh man, the world of teen death opens right up with late 50s, early 60s music. Don't get in a car any time during the Eisenhower administration.

I am the owner of both of those pages and I am not the Lauren that you're looking for. I am not a runner. I do however appreciate the exposure to my personal information, because I have recieved phone calls and emails telling me that they hope I never run again, as well as slander towards my business. Thanks Internet,…

So Arya stabs a guy in the neck and runs away.

He's not mine, he just attends (well, lives at) the doggy daycare I work at. He's up for adoption now, and if I lived in a place where dogs were allowed, I would take him in an instant.

That would be cool. We have some of the nicest napping spots in the Southwest scattered throughout our yard, both sunny and shady. We feed Purina Natural Something Something and a 1/4 can of Friskies every night. The fountain pump has finally been replaced, ending the nightmare of having to drink still water.

I have looked adoringly at all the kittehs in the comments and I declare Floyd to be Kitteh Most Likely To Be Invited To Come Live With My Kittehs. He's fit right in.

Oh no no cats don't learn. If they did, mine would know by now that if you sit in the middle of the hallway where it's dark, I will trip on you.

Aww, such a sweet puppy! I love boxers, they're so goofy:

I agree in part and dissent in part. (God that sounds pretentious.)

This news ruined my day. I love TWoP.

The forums are THE BEST. Their code for posting was so extremely draconian but it worked, dammit. My favorite rule: No starting a post with "Ummm." No matter how it's intended, it ALWAYS sounds condescending. Not to mention the whip-cracking to keep threads on topic and the eventual shutting down of arguments that…

I was actually going to rant about frozen stock thawing without a microwave but didn't want to let me food geekery show. Thawing frozen stock without a microwave is the fucking worst.

The only thing colder than otter pops/fla-vor-ice pops are my cold, dead hands... which is what you will have to pry those pops from.

My youngest had these from age 3 to 5. Being awakened in the night by your child screaming in terror triggers just about every parent's worst fears when in a half-awake state, even after years of dealing with it, and not being able to comfort them when they're utterly terrified is a special kind of torture.
