It does seem like a way to amp up the shock factor as if the fact that a person was killed by a romantic partner isn’t shocking enough. I am interested in whether Davenport had shown any signs of mental illness or whether there had been any incidents of domestic violence because we do such as horrible job in this…

Man, now I feel so lame. My husband, who’s 51, loves Fireball. As in he once bought an 8 pack of miniatures, keeps a full flask ready for the weekends, and has a giant bottle in the bar. I’m equally terrible since my drink of choice is Crown Royal and I make sure to always buy a couple of $1 minis from my local booze…

I drink Crown Royal because I just like it. I’m low class that way. And it comes with the nifty bag. Right now I keep my parking change in one. I’m seriously planning an anniversary trip to the Crown Royal factory so I can get me a Crown Royal clear tote bag

The only time it’s an issue is if we’re talking about a late-term abortion where the mother/family may opt to bury the fetus. But realistically, I don’t think most women are really that concerned about what happens to the fetus or zygote. Better that the cells be used to help people than just becoming medical waste.

I can relate to that but I can also relate to the fact that people that look a lot like me have been beaten, assaulted, and shot dead by the people that are supposed to protect us. Property destruction is terrible and counter productive but I wasn’t aware that wanting police to treat all of us equally i.e. not…

Good to know you can’t tell the difference between Baltimore and Ferguson but hey, a black dude is just a black dude, right? We all look the same. Also good to know that you’re willing to dismiss all of the peaceful protests and civil disobedience that took place and focus on the actions that confirm your viewpoints.

They’re hired to enforce the laws on the books but not to violate the rights and, in this case, body of individuals in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with enforcing those laws. There was no reason they couldn’t have arrested her and searched her at the station. There was no reason they couldn’t have had a…

My suggestion is always to be mindful of what you might not be seeing and about how issues often run deeper than just the agreed upon talking points. As a black woman, I do feel that we are often called to both step up for ‘our’ men and to step back to give them their due. Historically, black men are often seen as…

Women spearheading movements are often characterized as the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, wives/girlfriends of male victims of police brutality rather than victims themselves. That’s not to say that those relationships aren’t important and that their voices aren’t important but, again, it’s in the context of…

But they’re just asking for help not waiting for a handout like all of those welfare leeches /sarcasm

They would likely be overscale for welfare because they still have income from speaking gigs and I believe Jim Bob owns property. Unfortunately they got used to the TLC-financed lifestyle and the income from books, regular speaking gigs, and probably endorsements and this is quite the come down.

I’m too lazy to search for it so what, exactly, is the purpose of asparagus water? And, more importantly, why would you pay $6 for something you could make at home?

Great musicals, yes, but I bet there are plenty of people who don’t recognize any of the songs from either of them unless you count the Phantom of the Opera piece that tends to feature in ice skating. But to each his own.

I loved the music! I even had the soundtrack on vinyl. Ease on Down the Road is a classic. Worse thing in the movie was Diana Ross. She was way too old to play Dorothy

Even more so with the girls. The boys at least got more education and skills with the expectation that they would have to work to support their families. The girls are basically SOL unless they either get snapped up by a like-minded husband or buck their indoctrination and take some community college courses.

Arm flab is the least of my concerns. I’ve lost enough weight to have weird loose skin on the whole torso, side boob area. It’s all jiggly and actually smooshes over my bra which makes no damn sense. So if I’m going sleeveless and the armholes are too large, I end up with another tank top underneath to hide the loose…

Lifting weights because you want to is very, very feminist. Show off those arms!

Some people have weird reactions to things. Shaving can make some people smell more or different because of the way their bodies react to the shaving gel and the hair removal itself. Some people get in grown hairs or keloids. Same with waxing or other hair removal techniques. Just because you haven’t experienced it…

Do what you’re comfortable with. If you feel really self-conscious about your armpit hair but don’t want to shave, maybe don’t go full sleeveless yet but just go with some really short sleeves just to get the feel of it. If you feel too weird, trim or shave (or whatever hair removal you prefer). Considering how much…

I hated gym. I was a fat, awkward, non-competitive kid and I just was not feeling the whole phys ed thing especially things like gymnastics or square dancing. I just felt embarrassed and did everything I could not to participate. I didn’t start to like exercise until high school and only after we focused on individual…
