One Christmas when I was home from college I was messing around with my cousins and I don't remember the exact context, but I said to the youngest one (maybe 11 or 12 at the time) that if he didn't relent to something (shit, I really can't remember what it was, giving me the remote to the tv or something completely…

Would the question be asked of anybody else who's had corrective surgery for a birth anomaly? If not, or if the answer is really fucking obvious (um, yeah, recovering from reconstructive surgery probably hurts. Next question) then it isn't appropriate here either.
OT, but this reminded me of what I like to say when meeting with a new doctor and the question "Are you sexually active?" comes up.
Simpsons did it.
Good point—I'm in the same place (vegetarian, conservationist, pro-cull), but I wonder how much environmental damage is done when uneducated civilians go tromping through the everglades in search of snakes.
"Drones" has become synonymous with unmanned military devices, but in fact they can be incredibly useful and benign (and cost-effective) in agriculture, forestry and wildlife management. Check out ConservationDrones.com
I'm just short of PETA on the animal rights scale and I agree with you. My brother owned a ball python and it was a lovely pet at the time, but these snakes are destroying the fragile ecosystem of the everglades, including several endangered native species. First blame goes to irresponsible owners letting them…
True fact: -40 is where metric and Imperial temperatures meet up.
Zoom O'clock in my apartment. And yes, there is an a.m. and a p.m. (which is really just a very early a.m., usually around 3:30 in the morning).
My black cat, Hedy Lamarr, LOVES traveling upside down! Her nickname, in fact, is Upside Down Kitty. She will do a thing, then try to figure out if there is a way to do that thing while on her back, including making her way from one side of the room to another.
Nope, technically, resin is a sticky substance produced by trees and some other plants. There is commercially available "epoxy resin" but that's not a true resin
I had a pair of the original-style crocs a year or two after they came out. They are great shoes for walking the dog, grocery shopping, doing laundry in the basement, commuting, etc. I have one of the newer, less bulky, ballet-flat styles that I commute in in the summer—they keep my feet cool and I like the squishy…
And more important than just strong female characters are strong female relationships. One single strong female character as a token among a group of men isn't enough. Seriously, I spend 8 to 10 hours a day in a work environment where I have to problem solve and get shit done with several people, over half of whom…
I really don't like wearing jewelry at all. I can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that goes into it, but having anything on my fingers, wrists or around my neck just makes me nuts. Earrings, if they aren't too heavy or flappy (I don't like them hitting my neck) are OK, but I wear zero accessories on most…
To balance you out—I grew up near the ocean and my biggest fear was—tornadoes! I have no idea why. Until recently, they had been pretty much unheard of where I grew up. So yeah, you, me and a sharknado.
I have two cats with very different personalities. One who literally looks before she leaps (and rarely gets herself into pickles) and the other who just leaps (who often has to be rescued from a perch too high to get down from). The former likes to observe the cat game I have on my phone, a little mouse that flicks…
Helping the homeless human population is important, so is helping homeless domesticated animals (who have been bred to be incompatible with living on their own). Here's the difference: There are (or should be) government services, churches, etc. that help humans. Government's role with regard to homeless…
I was tested twice this year. I still don't believe in God.
Back in my ESL teaching days, I would occasionally visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my students, it was a great way to get them to engage with each other and discuss artifacts from their and other cultures. On one visit a Japanese student was appalled at the way Shinto artifacts were being displayed. He…
