Did you see this:

So outside of the fact that all these men going into Syria end up dead - is the implication that the revolutionary fighters are Hezbollah? Apologies if I’m being dense.

Serious question - could you please explain the cartoon you included? I recognize the Syrian flag on the machine but not the marks on the yellow-draped coffins.

He has a twin! This is excellent information. He steals in the screen in everything he’s in. He was a total breath of fresh air in Da Sweet Blood of Jesus. Which was a saving grace because Stephen Tyrone Williams doesn’t have a tenth of the swagger and charisma as Duane Jones. Zaraah Abrahams was better comparatively,…

I really wish I could unsee that video. That was horrifying.

Agreed. TBH it was a long time ago when I was on the pill so I don’t fully remember. I know my private plan at the time reduced the cost to like $2 so even though I was still paying it was pretty negligible. I always remember a good girlfriend of my mine from New York who was living here briefly being amazed at how…

Fair enough. I think someone mentioned up thread that birth control in general is not covered that I’m aware of. Way back when I was taking the pill and tried the Depo-Provera shot, those weren’t covered either. Far as I know we still pay for birth control I think it’s just more affordable than the US, but more…

Umm, that’s not true. Not sure what province you’re in and if that makes a difference. I’m in Ontario (and I have an IUD). Without insurance the IUD costs $200, I have insurance through my parents so mine only cost $50. The insertion is free if that’s what you’re referring to?

Canadian here (and IUD user). My doctor told me that could happen, and if it did to just make an appointment to come back in and they’d cut the strings shorter. Also have another friend who had that done. I don’t have a regular partner so the it hasn’t come up yet, but an FYI that it should be something that can be…

So I’m going to share a comment I always found interesting from an article on Jezebel about an Ashley Madison ad back in 2011. DrunkExpatWriter wrote:

I’m speculating (and not defending) that perhaps she thought that the claims were baseless, even though there were so many, because there was no legal action occurring. Not realizing, because of the constraints of the American judicial system, the women actually have no legal recourse. Which still is a bit crazy,…

So not pregnant over here, but can somewhat relate to the new-ish extreme gag-reflex. I’ve noticed in the last few years that my enthusiasm for bjs has waned considerably and it seems in large part that i now gag almost immediately and tear up. I can still get through it when necessary but when i come up my face is…

It’s the second link and the title of the article being referenced is the actual link in bright red.

The only one I would object to in that list is the first one. I think a significant portion of people who deny their partner’s cheating, are not necessarily because they don’t believe it, but because they don’t want to be looked down on by others if they admitted that they were aware of it and didn’t necessarily care.…

The court-appointed advocate seems to have a pretty bad track record:

Ok, so I’m going to add my two cents just in case it helps. I’m not a recovering alcoholic, however I did make the decision to cut out alcohol completely almost a year ago. I had a medical test come back weird (which my own doctor acknowledged and didn’t seem to put much emphasis on thinking it was a screw-up by the…

While I don’t have a take on this particular situation, United in-flight staff is looking really bad overall. Between the Muslim woman who they wouldn’t give a unopened soda to for fear she might use it as a ‘weapon’ AND the mother who was humiliated over her special needs child AND the mother who was kicked off the…

So glad they post the full episodes on Lifetime’s website. Just finished episode five and I’m fully addicted at this point. I’ve never really watched “The Bachelor”, always found the premise to be pretty creepy, and strangely I was still a little surprised (not shocked mind you) at how dark behind-the-scenes something…

I did read the other comments. I wasn’t trying to prove you “wrong” I was trying to be helpful. I still don’t think you understand what either I, or the article is saying, but you know, you do you.
