It must have been awful. The mere thought of it sends shivers up my spine! The prospect of having a family member walk in on me is why I only bought my first sex toys after I’ve moved. Never had any privacy in my family home. Even at 29 (had to move back in with them last year when I was…

I read it because I wanted a deeper insight into the issue.

Agreed. I want to force anyone who thinks the need for these is a myth or women should be ashamed to get a late term (or any) abortion.

That was heartbreaking as well as informative. I’m really glad I read it.

I feel like Barb was yet another case of people fixating on a minor character for some reason I will never understand. E.g. Boba Fett.

I’m a nurse with 30 years experience, and I can tell you that the survival stats for patients who arrest in the hospital where the code team can start treating them within mere minutes are terrible. So I am not going to be optimistic about 15 minutes (because it isn’t just 15 minutes) until I hear more.

I went to the Moulin Rouge once and I have to agree with the description of “mesmerizing.” It’s pretty impressive!

Yes! That’s how river dance was too. Which is different than the lord of the dance with the douche Michael flatly.

On a dating site, one dude’s opening line to me was “You are a total Barb.” I genuinely had no clue how to respond.

Yup, me too. I watched Stranger Things way after all the hype (because I am always behind on everything cool) and kept waiting for Barb to do or say something to indicate she had a personality beyond “Nancy’s Friend” and she never did.

Great now I’m crying at my desk reading about Fernandez again and then seeing Dee Gordon cry running around the bases. Easily the most powerful sports moment for me in 2016. Even over the Cubs finally winning it all.

Very this.

Same here. It blew up, I watched the show and went “huh...” It made absolutely no fucking sense.

These are guys that run the 40 in sub-5 second time. In a hurry-up situation, that’s running about 50 yards in those 5 seconds, then running back to the line to do it all over again. Sounds pretty damn exhausting.

because if someone turns left in front of oncoming traffic, the oncoming traffic would hit the right side...does that not make sense?

I agree with you. Unfortunately, those that are under contract really don’t have a choice unless they want to leave their employer. Being a dancer is a hard job and jobs are not plentiful. Calling in sick and getting a doctor’s note could certainly help those that don’t want to perform at the event. I’m sure there…

Lena Dunham? Leon Durham? Larry Doby?

So are internet comments questioning the physical status of professional athletes.

I just emailed Madison Square Garden (see Heywood U Cuddleme’s post below) and quoted liberally from your comment here (with credit, natch). Thank you. Well said.

You can’t renew patents. That’s the entire spirit of a patent. In exchange for publishing an invention (which is required to apply for patent protection) you gain a limited term ownership of licensing rights for the invention, after which the invention becomes public domain. AS Danjal87 noted, in some industries it’s…
