She's your kid, you can do what you want. But the question is, if you saw another kid wearing an outfit you personally approve of, would you judge the mom, the kid or who else? Fashion and fads don't happen in a vacuum, so instead of creating a situation where people feel shamed for either wearing too much or not…

Which actions do you consider to be flaunting it? Because 9/10 people use that phrase to mean "I don't mind people being gay as long as I don't have to actually see their relationships. " I've also heard the inevitable "I just hate seeing PDA, and so I don't mind gay people as long as they don't take part in any…

I agree with you. I think modesty is also so ambiguous, what is immodest for some is not for others. I prefer not to bare my midriff but I have no problem with baring my shoulders. Does she mean no spaghetti strap tank tops? Or no sleeveless tops? And when it comes to skirt lengths, I have the problem of being…

That was my favorite scene by far. Mostly because Bobby is my favorite character. And I love the actor who plays Crowley (he does guest spots in so many of my favorite shows.)

Which episode is that from? I'm in season 6 now but I don't remember that scene and need to rewatch that part.

"Because although people don't make the choice to be gay doesn't mean they are allowed to have the same rights as non-gay people" or at least that's the excuse I'm sure they will give.

I seriously second Connie Willis's To Say Nothing of the Dog (but fair warning, the Doomsday book is much more serious and made me cry, but still amazing).

I don't know, I'm pretty sure Atwood, Le Guin and Butler were writing and publishing before paranormal romance was a big thing. I'm sure they had challenges being seen as serious writers because they are woman, but I don't think it has to do with paranormal romance.

My father was in a coma for 6 weeks following a traumatic brain injury when I was 8 years old (<20 years ago). I only have a few memories about it. I don't know the exact details (he did begin having spontaneous eye openings sometime around 3-4 weeks I think).

Man I had to scroll soooo far down to find someone who saw that too! It's totally Blue Steel!

That still allows it to be optional. There's no reason that a person who feels it would add to their application shouldn't be able to take it, but for most people it's a waste of time and money. And applications are expensive enough as it.

All of my experiences say that grad school committees don't give a shit about the GREs. They don't help you get into grad school, they can only keep you out. If you have amazing GRE scores but still have <3.0 GPA then your application is probably going to tossed out. And GRE's don't differentiate between different…

me three! I love the Monkees!

I actually always thought of Dondarrion as a grizzled veteran kind of guy. I think it had something to do with the sense that he felt weary of battle, but couldn't stop because he needed to be the one to protect the common folk since no one else would.

The Fifth Element and Galaxy Quest are the two movies that I turn to after a bad day. They just cheer me up and make me laugh. My husband agrees (in fact I think we bonded over these movies).

There is a woman in my department who won a Nobel prize in medicine but completely bombed the GREs. She almost didn't get into grad school because of that and ended up finding ONE school that was willing to overlook her GRE score and focus on her school records and recommendations.

I barely do any of what you recommend, and I also don't get sick. In fact my husband has been dealing with a really bad cold for over a week now, and I'm feeling fine.

So you send someone nude pictures, which they post...which means they can't be trusted, so you would NOT send them nude photos...but you didn't know that until they were posted...so Catch22?

I was laughing sooo hard! And almost none of the regulars could keep a straight face. I just rewatched it now and it's even funnier than I remembered.

Yeah, I decided to rewatch it today! I miss that show.
