I thought you would write "not for my thkin tone"

Apparently.

If it's going on from the end of June through the beginning of August, (meaning it's happening now) why is everything in past-tense?

I especially like her good natured & willing yet not-completely-understanding-what's-going-on mom.

I can't explain it, exactly, but because of who these two people are, this is far more information than I need about them.

It's a very awkward sentence to say the least. I agree, Agran is a weak writer.

Well, that, but then there's the rest of the sentence.

"Because..." said Kinja, "...I can".

Why are you tormenting me, Kinja?

...oil's not like any other 7-year-old girl has ever been very set on being a princess.

Used to work for a company claiming to deal in fine photography and the general manager called them "pitchers". Also, he was talking about one of our photographers who was working in Hollywood in the 40s, 50s & 60s and he said "It harkens back to the "hallekon" days of Hollywood" instead of halcyon. We were presenting…

OMFG. Thank you. I thought I was the only one. I have serious conniptions when I hear "joo-lery" - makes my ears hurt. As does "tempa-chur", but joo-lery is the worst, for me. "Prolly" instead of probably is working its way up the ladder, too.

I'm sorry, but that's a silly question. Obviously you don't dance...it's like asking a mountain climber why they climb, a painter why they paint, a writer why they write...

That would have been hysterical. As it was, I don't think anyone even thought there was anything we could do. Aaahh, the 80s.

Certainly nothing as bad as the salt guy, but when I was managing the college pub (student managed, college run), my boss would send the female employees into the deep freeze on a near hourly basis. Once, during a group convo about promotions or raises he said "here's the way to get a raise" and he tapped his belt…

I totally and completely fucked up my body by losing too much weight too quickly. I was on an anti-depressant that had a weight loss effect though I didn't know it. I thought it was the miraculous new yoga practice I'd started.

Ha ha ha ha. Yes, wait until there's another generation or two behind you and see how you feel then?

I get what y'all are saying, really. But the fact is that women carry the child and birth the child. Consequently, they need x numbers of days/weeks to recover, both physically and hormonally. Not to say women can't/don't/won't work through this, as many do, but it's not as though the patriarchy set it up this way on…

But Sia's performed facing the audience in every instance I've seen (not that I've seen them all)...in one video she had a stocking/nylon over her face, but she's been performing with zero 7 and solo for so long. Somehow I feel it has something in particular to do with this song...

I agree - Sia may not be to everyone's liking (she's absolutely my favorite) but I loved all of this - I would just have liked to see her singing for at least a couple of seconds... otherwise, loved it...(Now I will have to find the video of her on Ellen)
