Yep! Three of my friends have rescued greyhounds and they are adorable - I would genuinely sit all day petting them while they look happy but mildly confused - but it was hard as hell to teach any of them recall, they just ran until they stopped and then waited, one of them had been a breeder so she broke her tail…

I don’t think there is a lot you can do to intervene until she is ready. Maybe just let her know what you’re there if she ever needs any help. Even if she resists probing, you can add ‘I know, you don’t need help, just if you ever do’. Have a list of available resources if she ever does ask and don’t write her off if…

Have you gone gluten-free already, or are you tracking your symptoms at the moment? If you have a phone with you at work you could just snap a picture of your meal and then food diary it properly later (Evernote was actually really good for me when I was doing this).

Magician of her gender of choice? Depending on her mood about the divorce they could make her wedding paraphrenalia/photo of her ex *flash of smoke* DISAPPEAR!!

Chen you’re this guy? Probably any sort of sex involving another being is pretty rare.

They might never realise they were abusive and awful - they might not have the capacity to realise they were abusive and awful - but they will go through life repeating this process with everyone who cares about and tries to get close to them. No karma but just their grinding inability to be anyone but who they are*.

The funniest thing I have ever seen - although I am sure NOT for the person who it happened to - was when a man out jogging his dog stopped to pick up its poop. Just as I was walking past he spun the bag, went to tie a knot in it, and the bag EXPLODED and dumped an entire mastiff poop on his glossy white trainers. He…

Why should they change how they live their lives? Just because I know where Kim Kardashian currently is, or whatever, doesn’t instantly compel me to go and make her uncomfortable or attack her. A lot of women do change how what they do in order to try and feel safe (and still end up murdered or stalked), but that…

The victim was a sixteen year old in a terrifying situation, who probably didnt know how potent what he was about to drink was. The officers had detained him, had significant levels of power over him, and a distinct threat to his future well-being. People make stupid decisions under duress, teenagers make even…

Saying ‘If it’s apple juice, go on and have a drink then’ is an acceptable interrogation technique (arguably). They should, however, have stopped the poor kid from actually drinking it. At that point it should have been a murder charge, or at least manslaughter.

From what I picked up from the news the move to take the baby home was opposed for two reasons. First, and primarily, because he needed to be on intensive care equipment and painkillers at all times. No paediatrician or intensive care team were willing to commit to doing that due to liability and publicity issues.…

You think she has a soul?

OK, now I’m grateful that we just had slightly eerie music! That sounds like Dracula got into the ice-cream business. “The children of the night. What sorbet they make.’

HOWEVER, there is an exception to this. To whit, that the truck rolls into your cul de sac in the evenings with their jingle going...just a bit too slow. There is nothing creepier than a slightly too slow, slightly distorted ice cream jingle at nine in the evening. It’s so wrong.

Huh. As a UKian, the poop in the streets has never been something that comes up a lot when people complain about travellers. Not saying there’s not a lot of racist shite SAID, but that’s not something that gets mooted a lot.

I read it as ‘unpleasant surprise’ at first. I was all ‘huh, that is surprisingly honest, but good for you Mindy.’. Turns out it is just too later be trying to make sense of words.

Sorry. i just feel that sometimes these stories are all just looking for a convenient Judas Goat. It was Heavy Metal music! It was D&D! It was one thing that we can put our finger on, remove from circulation, and fix the problem. Except it isn’t.

It really isnt the internet though. The internet facilitiates communication - good and bad - but it doesnt cause the issues. Look at Anne C. Perry and Pauline Parker, they banded together to murder Parker’s mother so they wouldn’t be seperated. That was in 1954.

Yep. There’s something a bit humbling about it. I mean, I knew the DUP was shit but seeing the UK’s horror as they read up on them was a bit, ‘Oh yeah, they’re actual monsters aren’t they.’

Also DUP reps have been racist and anti-Muslim as well. Oh and they have fairly close ties to unionist paramilitaries. It’s not great. I mean, back in 1977 Ian Paisley, who founded the party, ran a campaign against the decriminalisation of homosexuality - ‘Ulster says no to Sodomy’. He’s dead now, but his son who…
