Whoa. The poor kid.

Now I KNOW I have to read the book.

Wow. Really? I never would have guessed.

The name is actually Amabella, which begs the question: is Amabella an actual name? Are human beings named Amabella? I had never heard that name before and I could never get used to it no matter how many times the characters said it.

I thought Kidman was amazing. Woodley was mostly just... there, in my opinion. I didn’t think she was bad or anything but I didn’t really respond to her. I wish someone else had played Jane. I thought everyone put on a great performance except for her.

On one hand, yes! On the other, if they worked together I don’t know if I’d be able to see them as different characters. In any case, I wouldn’t mind not seeing Shailene Woodley again.

I haven’t read any of her books but I’m thinking I might have to.

I hope that’s the case. I read that article or one similar to it and it was mentioned that the director was only meant to direct the two first episodes but Reese convinced him to direct the whole thing so I hope she can’t convince him - or someone else - to go through with season 2!

It took me forever to finish the finale because I kept pausing to yell at Perry, encourage Celeste or cry. I loved this show. I read Reese Witherspoon wouldn’t mind another season but I hope it ends here.

I hope it was a good one! Happy birthday and thanks for the reply!

I guess I see what you mean. But let’s take your example of people rounding up the remaining animals of a species - isn’t it worth rescuing them if we know their habitat - and by extension it - will be completely gone soon? Isn’t it better to have the…

It’s just that until we address habitat loss and degradation, they need to hold off on breeding until that is resolved (and if the issues are resolved, the existing populations might recover on their own). It’s a big topic. I’d love to see it on a debate stage one day.

In December former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Christine Todd Whitman explained how then President-elect Donald Trump could not possibly keep his promises to bring back coal jobs.

As someone else already mentioned, isn’t this unconstitutional or some such? I’m pretty sure I read they weren’t allowed to do this. Also, how would they know whether an undocumented immigrant was asked about their status or not? I don’t understand how this is supposed to work.

These people who are basically implying that Trump can’t get stuff done on his own seem to have forgotten his whole I alone can fix it crap.

On Sunday, Trump’s chief of staff Reince Priebus told Fox News that, though he had not spoken to the president about his tweet, he was sure its timing was “coincidental,” and that the president was probably just doing her “a favor.”

Sigh. The Republicans are in charge now. If it “blows up”, it’ll be their fault, no one else’s. And no one will be “toast” except Americans. I guess that guy doesn’t care, though I’m sure he considers himself a patriot.

Oh, and c) the 20+ million who rely on it might not like to see the Republicans “let those issues get out of hand”. I mean, your President is looking forward to it! How he still has supporters when he’s so clearly saying “screw you” to his own people I’ll never understand.

So “Obamacare is going to fail” = “We’re going to make sure Obamacare is going to fail”. Nice.

Why does Trump keep saying Obamacare is going to explode? Is he just talking out of his ass as usual or is there something there?

I forgot all about them but yes. More annoyingly, though, Trump is going to brag about it. “I said they were doing this to themselves and the people went crazy and now look, I was right.”
