I live in NYC, and no one I know (admittedly small sample size) has a problem with the “nudity.” It’s totally legal to be topless in public in NYC, man or woman. It’s the aggressive solicitation for money. Between them and the fake cartoon/Disney characters, not to mention the throngs of tourists, it’s just…

This is what I don’t understand. If he’s in Mexico and easily findable, why isn’t someone hauling ass down there to bring him back for committing insurance fraud?

Which one? I was in Seattle earlier this week and took a trip over to Uncle Ike’s. Our “barista” was a black woman who was all kinds of awesome helping us out.

Nah. They wear pantyhose under their shorts and there’s cleavage, but I show cleavage and I work in a cube. The wings are good and other than the fact that only women are servers, it’s not any different than a regular bar/restaurant. I’ve taken my kid a few times, even (she did ask why it was called Hooters and I just…

Definitely, I would be in. :-) I was a Chicago resident for 7 years but alas a New Yorker now!

Are you in NY?

Her Proud Mary on Wednesday was spectacular.

Fair enough. I’m not taking it as a personal attack. Trust me when I say there would never be a circumstance, ever, where he would have a loaded gun out in his house. I can see not wanting your kids over at a house where there are guns, though. Do you live in an area where a lot of people have guns? I don’t, so it…

Even if the guns are completely secured? I’m no gun fan, but my brother is ex-military and has quite a collection of firearms. He also has a toddler. Every single one of those guns is unloaded and locked in a gun safe in the basement. I have no qualms bringing my daughter to his house (but I absolutely would if he had…

The point is that it is available for those who want and need it—as the author noted in her piece, someone on a mat-leave contract gets two weeks notice if the person on leave decides to come back early. Canada’s policies don’t force you to take the whole leave but it’s certainly available—and I would guess the…

From the sources I’ve seen, they haven’t actually identified the attackers as students, but if they are—then I hope the same.

There aren’t any commercially available tests for it, so I don’t know how she’d even get checked.

I’m curious, I have a friend—who is wanting to get pregnant—traveling to affected areas next week. She and her husband WERE going to start trying, but decided to hold off for another month because of Zika. So if she gets it, then gets pregnant a month later, it wouldn’t affect the fetus?

Useless plows? I think others have made the point— we have nearly nine million people in our city alone, with a large complex public transit system and, as I said, 6k miles of road with cars parked on both sides every day. I don't care to get into a pissing match over plows (do yours hover or some shit? Curious about…

We have over 6,000 miles of road in NYC, for starters. And this is a blizzard— very high winds are blowing the snow everywhere so a single pass by a plow (we have 2,800 plows) isn't going to cut it today.

I love how they kept the joke going!

Never mind... :-)

Kind of happened to me too. I was 18, drunk, and making out with a guy I met at a party. We were fooling around, had some clothes pushed around, and I told him more than once no penetration. He did it anyway and I was too drunk and too stunned to push him off.

The only doctor I know is Dr. Zizmor, and he just retired.

My kid got an extra day—school closed yesterday because the boiler broke and there was no heat. She was dragging this morning. :-)
