yes to the rent controlled but the life style those ladies lived (ie. going out every night to expensive restaurants/bars etc) there's no way Carrie could have afforded it. The others yes, but not Carrie.

And Girls is different from every other show in which the characters have fantastic NY apartments how, exactly?

Because that is an actual nonsense garbage diagnosis, you can't be diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 12/13. The psychiatric community does not recognize schizophrenia as a legitimate diagnosis until late teens/early twenties, when symptoms start to present themselves. Although children can exhibit indicators, like…

Yep. I got the panel because I got pregnant as a teen. They wanted all of my sexual history. How many partners? Oral? Anal? My daughter's dad did not get the panel because he wasn't JW. Even as a scared, pregnant teen I knew this shit was wrong and was defiant and a smartass to the elders (e.g., What do you do with…

This is really funny (in a horrifying way) because I know a woman who was disfellowshipped because her elder husband cheated on her and she didn't want to stay married to him. Just cut off. Her children advised to never speak to her again. But child molesters...whatevs.

Ugh, so glad you left. I'm 33 now and still discovering new ways it fucked me up.

grew up as one. Remember a neighboring congregation had a child abuse controversy. Instead of people being in disgust and seeking for justice they accused the little girl of lying. Yeah f this religion.

I was raised as a JW and was molested by my 25 year old bible study teacher when I was 12. He went on to marry my sister when she turned 18 (he had been molesting her beginning when she was 14.) I FLED when I was 15 and never looked back. Punk rock saved my life, not Jehovah.

I Grew up as a JW, and noped the fuck out of the there pretty much as soon as I turned eighteen. This doesn't surprise me at all. Not one little bit.

I started a thread where we can post our profiles if anyone is looking for more fitbit buddies!

You mean that my Fitbit isn't effective in the corner of my underwear drawer it lives in? Never seeing the light of day, never feeling the wind on its face? Next you're going to tell me that my treadmill-used-exclusively-as-a-clothes-drying-rack isn't helping me burn calories just by taking up precious space in my…

Plus, the Pokewalker was the top pedometer in one study. I don't know why, but that is still amusing to me.

I agree. The headline makes it sounds like FitBit is a complete and bogus sham, but the article says that it's just no better than other devices, including iPhones.

Okay. Upon reuniting with my best friend childhood friend she gifted me a FitBit.

I find myself sort of puzzled at all the media outlets I've seen credulously covering this study as though it meant anything at all.

well it certainly helps motivate me! I've lost over 20 pounds since I bought mine, walk more often to the store. of course i could do all that without it but I find it sort of FUN!

I guess I'm one of those annoying people who loves their FitBit? I like it because I can wear it all the time and I don't have to worry about whether or not I have my phone on me to track my steps. I also feel like it's way more accurate than the app I had on my phone that was supposed to track my walking. You have to…

After I got my said fancy gadget, I have been more motivated to go to the gym now more than ever. Im sure it has done so for others. Let's not generalize us gadget holders as I don't think you would like to be generalized in whatever category you're from.

I don't understand the point of this article.

Ha! Those poor fools. When I want something a little off the menu, I always ask the server if there's a cheaper way to put it in. Like, sometimes at a breakfast place, I want eggs and bacon, but also a pancake. I'll pay for extra for the pancake side, no problem, but first I'll ask if there's a way to order it so…
