I live near one of the major hospitals in my city and shop regularly at the closest pharmacy to it, and I've seen a number of women who have been victims of acid attacks (presumably because they're getting treated/doctor visits at the hospital), and it can be pretty horrific. I can't imagine just not prosecuting…

Well, we don't have strip clubs or bars here, so that's not a concern. But if you're local, you grew up with this so you expect it. It's a little disconcerting for the foreigners.

I live in Pakistan.

Bathroom attendants are everywhere in the country I live in (not just in fancy places) and they legit take the toilet paper out of the stalls and hold it so that you can't not interact with them (and then tip them). It's a little awkward.

'Glorious hags' should definitely be the 'lesbian shitasses' replacement phrase.

My mom had the cabbage soup diet plan photocopied and hung on the inside of our plate cupboard during my childhood. She had heard about it when she was in the audience at a taping of a local morning talk show, where a whole segment was devoted to the diet. Somehow this made the cabbage diet seem super glamorous and I…

I wish you all the luck if that's what you want to do. I left the field a while ago for a number of reasons, mostly having to do with a strong desire to pay my bills and the lack of advancement possibilities because no one was retiring. Some of my friends have been able to get jobs and stay in the field, but its' reall…

Not if you want to find a job!

We had a patron who had a bit of a drinking problem and who, once she had had a few, would hound the reference desk with questions that ranged from the banal to the far out. She'd ask us to write papers for her high school aged children, and when that wouldn't work, would try to get us to do it by asking a series of…

Dude. That comment is 4 years old. (I took film theory classes at both Hampshire and Smith.)

That's some fantastic looking soup.

The movies have been getting better and better, which is a rarity in sequels. I liked the fact that so little time was given to Gale/Katniss as a romantic couple, and I liked the fact that there was a conversation about how Katniss could love Peeta, but that didn't mean it was in a romantic way.

I get inexplicably choked up every time they use the salute - which only comes once in Mockingjay, and I bawled into my napkin. I got verklempt over the assault on the damn as well.

As a Mans, you should offer to operate the fund, as our feeble lady brains are clearly incapable. The gifting of money for charitable reasons needs to be dictated by someone with an iron fist and a private investigator's license, not some broads who can be swayed by 'sympathy' or 'empathy'.

If you go to GT, our post about Raffey was trending in the side bar the last I checked. If you have specific questions, I'll be happy to answer them when I'm not on my tablet.

Oh, no. I have a private list of people i think are at best, exagerating fabulists, and at worst, totally not who they claim to be.

Golddigging.

That just shows how painfully low this particular bar was. Even the feminazis weren't fooled.

I learned to take that approach any time I donate money. Once it's out of my hands, it's gone, so I need to be ok with that.

And the post was removed! Oh, man, he should have made up a story that stood up to more than a couple of seconds of scrutiny.
