<cue scary horror movie music> NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Also, microwaves never break so people are not really replacing them, it's like those old tv's that just won't die.

According to Time the statute is a copy, so—it could have been worse?

According to the article, which actually says he weighs 55 lbs., that baby weighs 7lbs MORE than my 7.5 year old. I can't imagine having to pick him up - I can carry my son, but just barely.

The complaint asked that the entire act be declared unconstitutional and in violation of section 1983, so she had the opportunity to rule on the whole thing. She could've declared the whole act unconstitutional, but instead she only struck specific portions, and denied relief on the rest.

I agree! My dad and Billy Dee Williams are exactly the same age. Last month my dad broke his hip getting out of bed, so Billy Dee's dancing looks damn good in comparison.

Then you should be responding to a comment that actually called her dumb, instead of one that claimed that she said you could see Russia from Alaska. Which she pretty clearly did. I don't believe I offered any opinion on whether I think she's dumb. I merely pointed out that she did, indeed, claim that you can see…

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with whether she said you could see Russia from Alaska or not.

No, but she did say you could see Russia from land in Alaska, which is almost equally ridiculous, since you'd have to be standing on a very small island, peering two and a half miles across the Bering Straight, hoping for a clear day. And all you'd see is another very small island, almost exactly like the one you're…

PLEASE don't use Magic Eraser on hardwood floors, especially not ones that are 100 years old! You may get the stain off, but you'll leave a dull spot in the finish that will look even worse.

My mother was diagnosed with Celiac in 1989 - after she'd gotten down to about 70 lbs. and been told to put her affairs in order, she finally ran into a savvy allergist who figured out why she was slowly starving to death. It's nice not having to explain what it is anymore, but I can't help rolling my eyes at people…

True story: when I was in college, a guy took my on a first date to a McDonald's at the turnpike rest stop near our school. Not coincidentally, it was also our last date.

I met my husband when I sold him a belt and a pair of jeans. I was a senior in college in a small town in SE PA, he was in graduate school in Philly. I was working at an Eddie Bauer (hey, it was the 90s, it was cooler then) at a big mall between the two places. He came in and asked me to help him pick out a belt…

I don't know... my son goes to a Catholic elementary school, and there's a creepy statute of Jesus in one of the stairwells that scares the hell out of me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I come down those stairs, even though my kid has gone to that school for three years and I know it's there. Maybe "scare" isn't the right…

Of course it's discrimination, which is defined as "acting on the basis of prejudice", but in the US discrimination is entirely legal, unless there's a law prohibiting it - people discriminate every day, but there's an important difference between discrimination and *illegal* discrimination. So, for example, "I don't…

YES. I hated high school and 95% of the people in it (and they hated me), and I graduated 25 years ago (as an aside, holy hell, how did THAT happen?), but in my first rush of excitement in joining, I accepted friend requests from most of my graduating class. Turns out they're still the people I hated, and I care even…

Whoever stole my credit card information from White Lodging is going to have to get in line behind whoever stole it from Target. And that guy is WAY behind whoever hacked into the South Carolina Department of Revenue's database last year and stole my name, full address and Social Security number, along with my seven…
