And I’m still in the greys?

OMG. I hope that at least the oliebollen test is reliable and scientific!

“... archeologist Luis Alvarez... lacked the technological and scientific know-how to pull it off...” [emphasis added]

waiting with bated breath

My wife was born and raised in the Soviet Union. We have discussions about the differences, and it’s surprising how similar everyone’s fears were.

Here in Canada, as a child, I was terrified that the idiots in the US would finally pull the trigger on the idiots in USSR (or vice versa). There was a definite undercurrent, emotional if not actual, of dread or tension or... I don’t know, dark anticipation that any day could be your last.

I’m a bit disheartened by the negative comments on here. Madeline went into this with a healthy dose of skepticism and doubt (and left with equally healthy doses of both..) But it sounds like she also clearly experienced a deep release and relief of an anxiety that has plagued her for years. That sounds invaluable to…

You spend years and years in gray purgatory until the kinja gods decide you are witty, clever and prolific enough to bestow non-gray status upon you. In many cases it never happens and in some cases it is bestowed and then unceremoniously taken away from you. The kinja gods are capricious.

The problem with VERY private arrangements is that they are not known to work because most people don’t think of all the possibilities and know the monetary average cost for services. It is best to have a mediator because all the details of surrogacy need to be laid out by people who are aware of all the risks. And…

I wish her all the joy of life. I’m in my third year. What I’ve learned is that you can’t predict who will accept you and who will not. Friends I had for 20-30 years couldn’t accept it and they’re gone. Others who I barely knew, and almost all my neighbors, have been nothing short of wonderful.

It took almost half an hour of laughing for me to start playing again. I think that’s the moment I truly fell in love with the game.

You mean Eternal Darkness, right?

Too old to read these comments about how everyone is “too old” in their early fucking twenties.

I think I’m older than most here (43) so here goes:
