If they knew in January they wouldn’t be using it, then why does their website say “For the above reason, the trademark applications that had been filed as protective measures and that reflected the same standard trademarking requests as done for The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been…

Tone over text is hard. Their statements come off as both trying to provide clarification and detail, but also a bit passive aggressive.

That was kind of my thought. I know they didn’t give up their HRH status. But, it always seemed a little “have your cake and eat it too” that they wanted to step back from the Royal Family and the whole “independent income” thing., but then expected to be able to use “Royal” as part of their whole marketing thing.

I was in Lompoc for work for a week last spring. I’m still mad nobody mentioned Santa Maria BBQ to me until my very last day there, when it was too late for me to seek some out.

Yep. Your comment is why I feel like it might be true that tilted uterus causes problems, or it could be that something else is causing problems and they are blaming it on a tilted uterus. Mostly I get concerned that a woman will read an anecdotal “women with a tilted uterus can’t use a cup” and decide not to try it,…

Obviously a shorter vaginal canal would cause issues, but that’s not the question I’m asking. As far as I can tell with my basic Google research a tilted uterus doesn’t appreciably shorten the vagina, so I just get confused at how the cervix comes into play. 

I’ve seen other people claim this, but it makes no sense to me. You cervix is nowhere near the cup, so how does it affect things? The average vagina is 7-15 cm. My cup is ~4 cm long and the end of it sits near the vaginal opening. So, there are at least 3 cm between my cervix and the cup. I feel like there is…

maybe tacking on a few years with diet and exercise, but genetics are genetics

I feel like "the butterfly tickler" sounds like something that is going to be happening in the privacy of their new bedroom. 

Yeah. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around throuple and Colorado Springs. Like, I’m sure they exist, but then to be so open about it in a town like that. I'm not sure the word I'm looking for...impressed at their bravery is closest to accurate. 

That was my favorite late night study food in college. Ah those days when I could eat half a can of frosting....now that just makes my teeth and stomach ache just thinking about it.

Yep, exactly. 

A pedestal isn’t necessarily a good thing. They are up on a caged in pedestal. The reason they are treated like property is because they are just so wonderful and amazing they have to be protected from the evil men. They can’t have leadership positions because their wonderful nurturing nature shouldn’t be corrupted by…

You may “learn” about exercise and healthy diet, but if it is not modeled and proper foods and portions are not available to you, you end up in an unhealthy cycle.

My friends make fun of the fact that I’m really into firefighters. They think it is all part of that uniform chasing things. No...its because they are usually working/living at the station for a span of several days every week. I was dating a guy that worked at a station out of town for 48 hours, would back back in…

Nope, because that means facing a lot of uncomfortable truths, and people would rather not do that.

Yep, I am one of those “some people”. I love reading, but never get the “movie in my head” experience other people get. In fact, I didn’t even realize that people were being literal when they talked about things like “picture a beach” during meditation.

That’s when you get the “if you cared so much, why didn’t you bring this up before”....well, because Kobe wasn’t a frequent topic of conversation, and if I’d brought it up without context you’d tell me not to talk about it because “it happened so long ago.”

I saw one article that mentioned it and phrased it as “in an otherwise blemish free career, he was accused of rape in 2003. But, the charges were dropped and settled in a civil suit”. I have a feeling that is how most of them are going to present it.

I thought this article also did a good job of addressing that we need to acknowledge the complexity.https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/nancy-armour/2020/01/27/kobe-bryant-dont-shy-away-nba-legends-legacy/4584605002/
