I seriously don’t understand that. I was at a restaurant last summer and requested my meal not come with mushrooms. The waitress asked if I was allergic, and I replied that no, I just don’t like them. Also, if my dish does wind up with mushrooms, NBD - it was a busy place and the chefs had better things to do than…

We said Jabumfuck, and associated it as a place between the Pennsylvania and Ohio border.

About 3 years ago, I was driving past the old Geauga Lake amusement park with my grandma, and mentioned how sad it looks now that it’s been shut down. And she blurts out, “I won a pony there in a raffle when I was 8.” (That would have been in 1928.)

OMG, “Harold and the Purple Crayon” has suddenly turned sinister.

Also, if you get a signed statement from your physician saying that yes, you absolutely MUST have this medication, along with a bunch of other BS, after 6 months to a year, you have a small chance of the insurance company lowering your copay.

If your insurance company IS actually doing this, you could probably report them to the BBB or some other federal agency. Not sure how much it would help, except that if enough women complain, they’ll look like the assholes they are.

Or the silly, sarcastic way liberals mocking conservatives say it? ;)

Yes. I know a woman who works at the Stouffer’s factory in Solon, Ohio, and she says all of Olive Garden’s food comes from Stouffer’s.

Only because you know how to heat up your own frozen food, whereas underpaid waitstaff don’t care if they get it right.

Well, you could technically say that Zimmerman has been involved in 4x the amount of violent crimes than Trayvon Martin, although that only works if you count the fact that Martin involved with a violent crime as a victim, since otherwise 4 x 0 = 0.

You’re absolutely right. I think most U.S. liberals aren’t very sad that he got hurt, not so much because we haven’t considered the consequences, but because obviously he isn’t going to face justice in our rather broken system, and also because he was the only person who DID get hurt. If someone else had been in that…

Now, if only Olive Garden actually made their food, instead of having it shipped frozen from Stouffer’s.

Definitely a stand-your-ground situation.

Normally, I’m anti-violence, and yet, I just can’t bring myself to feel bad for this happening.

In Ohio, only food and prescription medication are untaxed - and you still have to pay sales tax if you sit down in a restaurant. Gum, pop (and other sugary beverages), and candy might be taxed, too.

And environmentally friendly!

See, the women should have actually carried out the free-bleeding threat, and watched the men squirm.

They aren’t that expensive? I’m sorry, but when you’re poor, having to spend $30/month for feminine hygiene products takes a HUGE chunk out of your income. It’s actually one of the reasons I switched to the Diva cup.

I hate them - despite what the commercials claim, I can always feel them moving around inside me. I carry them in my purse because they take up less space on the off chance I need something in a pinch, but otherwise, menstrual cups all the way.

My grandma was very similar. She was never diagnosed with a personality disorder, because for her generation, seeing a mental health professional was incredibly taboo, but my dad remembers growing up with her not talking to the family for days because she would get mad at my grandfather or him or his sister. She’d…
