Actually I did read part of it - it helps to know people with minimal access to things. The full transcripts won’t be available until everything is said and done. It was predictably dull but still showed enough for me to form the opinion the the case wasn’t strong enough or clear enough to get the conviction they were…

Where’s a face-punching cop when you need one? Seriously, this was really dumb and dangerous and this dude can’t even fall back on having a mental health crisis.

I love candles but have to use a warmer because I have cats that haven’t figured out that fire is bad for them. I’m still going to check out your bamboo scent because I love the smell of bamboo and I really don’t feel like going into or giving money to Bath and Body Works. Congrats on your business.

So how would this work, exactly? When I had my abortion it was using medication and it was just a heavier period. I guess I should have fished a likely looking clot out of the toilet and buried it? Are women supposed to take a bag of what is essentially medical waste with them if they have the procedure done in an…

Mistrial Declared

Not surprised. I don’t think the prosecution’s case was strong enough and the defense was able to undercut it. I think the outcome may have been different had Porter been the actual driver but, even then, I can’t say that prosecution could make a case for murder. This is a mess of a case.

I actually just read Childhood’s End this past summer at my husband’s urging and I had no idea there was a mini-series in the works. I like the mini-series so far though it’s a little off-putting that so much characterization had to be added. I didn’t really need Stormgren to be a rugged, individual with excellent…

I had her. And the Dream Glow one. I think Peaches and Cream was supposed to smell like peaches but I think she just smelled weird and plasticky. Man, if only I hadn’t given them home made hair cuts and lost their clothes.

No they shouldn’t. I want to say that I can’t believe TLC is still involved with them but TLC isn’t exactly a bastion of responsible television. If they think they can make a buck, they’ll put it on. I can see the Duggars trying to rebuild their brand and keep the TLC bucks coming in. Their whole life style is pretty…

I don’t actually find it weird that she has such a strong attachment to home or hasn’t gone a day without her husband/kids. Some people are just like that - some of us don’t like being around a lot of people and prefer to be home in our own space rather than stuck in someone else’s. Some of us also just aren’t…

This is why access to abortion services is so important. Making abortion illegal or nearly impossible to get isn’t going to end abortion. It just means that women will turn to other, more dangerous ways to terminate a pregnancy. Actually it means more poor, working class, and middle class women will turn to dangerous…

You can totally do this. Make sure you give yourself a pat on the back for the small things you accomplish on the way to your goals. Good luck!

The Doxy is a pretty heavy duty - to me at least - vibrator. Some people love the thing. It’s too powerful for me and reminds me on a mixer.

I consider myself very sex positive and, even though I don’t have kids, I would not be comfortable with a field trip to a sex shop. It’s perfectly possible to teach kids about sex in an age appropriate way that does not involve explaining the use of a Doxy.

And I thought it was because the aliens warned us off.

I think the issue isn’t necessarily the lack of access to information, it’s the shame that’s attached to sex and sexual curiosity. So they can look up all kinds of information but they’re just as likely to get a bunch of terrible information along side the good. If they live in a community where no adult is willing to…

Hell, yes! I have a thing for older guys with sweet beards so definitely.

I think you are to some degree. If you make a conscious choice to just give in to pressure without making it clear that you don’t want to have sex (either physically or verbally - preferably both) I don’t know that I would consider it rape. It does make the partner doing the pressuring a dick for not acknowledging or…

But then you wouldn’t be able to brag to your friends and co-workers about good you feel/how much you’re suffering nobly. Much better than just cutting back on the shitty food.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that some people seem to be taking her statement personally but, yeah, she’s not talking about people who are just trying to cut back on junk food and eat better. I don’t even think she’s really criticizing people who embrace clean eating or veganism in a safe and sane way. She’s…
