First of all, it definitely isn't just white people. I was an attorney for a woman from the Dominican Republic once and she had at least 5 names and told me it was how her family honored both sets of grandparents. Second of all, I imagine they are honoring someone (dead relative, grandma, whatever) with at least one…

I have generally great insurance, but I could not for the life of me get my insurance to cover regular birth control pills with overlapping dispense dates, even if my doctor wrote the prescription that way. I ended up having to go on the minipill instead, which doesn't have placebos. It's completely ridiculous that my…
Do they even know what contraception is?
Yeah. And they didn't understand it. Even when my reason was "I'm getting married this weekend and would rather not have my period, so I really need another pack."
"Ask any woman that has had to fill a prescription for birth control and she'll tell you: it's not nearly as convenient as getting a pack of gum or chips at 7-11."
Like Viagra?
But isn't following Jesus (even on its own) a religion - some kind of Christianity?
"Women, just go spend money on a form of contraception that you, personally, cannot use, and that you actually need your male partner to use." PROBLEM FIXED GUYS, PROBLEM FIXED
I bought a green wedding gown, so people have already asked if they can wear white to my wedding. I don't understand who all these people are who have been DYING their whole lives to wear white to someone else's wedding.
People not dressing up for FUNERALS drives me ape. I used to drive past a funeral home every day between work and home, and the sight of someone dressed up at all for a service was rare, and even then I'd guess they were immediate family or pallbearers, etc. People were obviously attending memorial services in shorts,…
I'm from North America, not at all an Anglophile, and vaguely interested in celebrity gossip. I've known who she was for nearly a decade. Her fame was at the point that it's your responsibility to Google it if you don't know who she is, instead of post a comment about how you were too lazy to Google it yourself.
If we can take this seriously for a minute. I think this is, to the old guard, a respect issue. If we are going off the assumption that someone was tortured and died so that you could have an afterlife, you would think you could throw on a polo and a pair of khakis once a week (or more likely once a year) for his…
I totally know what you mean. For years, I tried to convince myself to like running. I ran 10K's and half-marathons and hated every fucking second of it. But I kept trying because I thought if I kept at it long enough, I would discover this mythical "runner's high" and suddenly start to enjoy it. Never happened.…
its a dog in a bear costume, its a mythical creature from ireland called a caioegh that apparently guards you in the afterlife
I am surrounded by runners at work all the time. They call 3 hours after we get 18 inches of snow to see if the trails are cleared. They are out in the 104 degree heat. They simply HAVE TO run.
I'm tracking a friend that is averaging 7:15/mile right now in Boston and I'm eating cookie dough while doing it.
I'm not even willing to run if someone is chasing me. They're probably faster than me, so no way I'll actually get away, and at least then I won't spend my final moments wheezy and sweaty.
So they say, but remember the story about the Indian (I think, or perhaps Pakistani?) couple who lured their daughter home by saying they forgave her, and then strangled/smothered her to death?
