And here I thought I was the only person to have read that book.

Can you do a BCO with the ones that you don't even believe?! I would love to see that.

And at the unofficial rate it's $2.00

I was in Buenos Aires literally yesterday (and not in the it's actually figuratively kind of way, but in the I was at the airport leaving Argentina yesterday kind of way). I bought a box of pads a couple of days ago, so I was looking at the female product aisle and I didn't see any obscenely noteworthy prices. I paid…

Well, here are two websites on the topic if you are interested: http://www.nypl.org/blog/2013/07/0…

Sorry, this is a really big pet peeve of mine and I can't resist the urge to contest it when I see it. They did not change names at Ellis Island. Names were either changed prior to the voyage or afterwards when they left the island. This was usually done by the immigrants themselves who wanted to anglicize their names…

There is a difference between being locked out and being unable to access the site. If you are locked out, you receive a message that says you are locked out and to call a certain number about it. If you can't access the site, you might feel like you are being locked out but will eventually be able to log in when…

I'm like $10 away from being a "double rouge"....

$350 for VIB.

I blame young people. Why would democrats spend time inspiring you or catering to you if they think you aren't going to vote. If you want candidates that will inspire you then you have to prove that you are a force worthy of inspiration. They'd rather pick candidates that pander to the people they know will go and…

I live in a mostly blue state in a very blue town, so I usually vote for independents that I know nothing about since I already know the outcome of the election. I always vote though, because I want to be counted as part of the voting population. If more under 30s voted, politicians would have to cater to us more.…

She was like 21

I'm pretty sure you're correct and this is fake. Based on the 5 minutes of internet sleuthing (that involved reading the authors notes, figuring out her name, and googling it), this person does not exist. When you consider how easily she gave out identifiable information about herself (i.e. her name), there is…

As someone who prefers diet coke to regular coke, I still understand your consternation! Mixing diet with anything other that other types of soda or water seems to separate the fake sugar from the rest of the drink and makes it taste really chemically and kind of plastic. So they're really not saving any calories…

I actually have issues with their and there but not they're (thanks, ADHD). "They're" is easier because I just naturally separate the conjunction in my head to make sure I'm using the correct one.

Anecdotal, he also mentioned that he stopped doing drugs after he left grad school, except for once a year when he smoked pot. I always kind of wondered about that and often looked at his friends and thought "are you the guy my dad smokes pot with once a year?". My sophomore year of college (when I finally knew what…

My dad successfully used reverse psychology by telling me that drugs were really fun, but then he described every bad trip he went on. Then he asked that I wait until college to try drugs. At 12 I didn't want to do anything that my dad considered remotely cool, and 18 I had spent so much time thinking about all of the…

she talks about orgasms, you never want to have sex ever

It really just the flip-flops (and these one pair of oxfords) that she owned. For some reason they looked(look??) freakishly small sitting next to my Havaianas. I think it might have been the fact that you could really see the scale difference in our entire foot.

Yeah, I stopped growing vertically when I was 13, but when I turned 18 my shoes suddenly shrank a size and my boobs went up 2 cup sizes. I had to replace all of my shoes and all of my bras. It really sucked because I hate buying both. I'm really good at finding the most uncomfortable pair of comfortable looking shoes.
