Oh, yeah! I was one of those girls too! At least, I tried to be. I read the Thoroughbred books. I also lived in the city and we didn’t have money for horse riding lessons.

I gotta admit, I’d consider a vote for THAT angel.

My best friend had been a mac user forever, but she jumped ship over the missing headphone jack.

Sure, if you like vanilla and pink pepper. ;)

Children, no!!!

Haha, ditto.

Dinosaurs: feathers, color, teeth, fierce, weird, evolution, science.

I didn’t vote for Kelpies because they can be human, I voted for Kelpies because they are evil and goth and will drown you, and they could have water-lilies in their hair.

I had Cthulhu winning the whole bracket, no joke.

I voted for ugly duckling!! I think it would be fun to do transformation photos! People could do stuff for throwback Thursday! I think it would be fun to dredge up a pic of myself in 2000s makeup (badly applied) and try to update the look!

I like to do a gift card plus another small bonus thing, such as a few ounces of nice tea, imported candy, or a bar of fancy soap. This way they get immediate gratification and I’ve signaled that I didn’t pick the gift at the last minute.

I hear you, and to be clear I’m not saying that 13 year olds are adults (eww), but I see a lot of people here saying they’d forgive the mother for vigilante justice in this case, and I understand that feeling.

14 is absolutely old enough.

Yeah it’s been kind of a thing, and now there’s also this:

I love this to death, but did you forget that unicorns already happened?

On the other hand, lots of players prefer to play on the hardest difficulty setting as a point of pride. This means that hardcore gamers will all have to play black characters and process the consequences.
