I wasn’t aware that Rikers was a jail not a prison, even with my many years of watching Law and Order under my belt. I’m from Australia where the terms jail and prison get used interchangeably and generally don’t mean different buildings or institutions. So much for the idea of presumed innocent until proved guilty.…

This is horrible all round. I used to know a woman who ran a non-profit that worked towards advancing prisoner rights in Canada. Talking to her about the issues that prisoners face it make you realize that practically no one cares one iota about people behind bars. Once we lock them up most of their rights, their…

My parents live in another country so I get no help with the kids from them except when they visit once a year and my mother in law won’t drive into the city to come to our place so we get the very occasional babysitting for our kids. I only work part time because the cost of childcare and after school care is about…

OMG I used to believe the same thing

This is a great show. My five year old loves it, I love it and my husband loves. As feminist who used to pull the heads off my own Barbies, who woulda thought?!

How does a man who lives in Florida have this kind of pallor? He looks like a corpse. And I say this as someone who’s complexion resembles a ghost, but my excuse is that I live in Canada and only experience direct sunlight for a couple months a year

So I’ve been struggling with depression for the past 18 months and I finally met with a doctor to get help. I had blood work done and my thyroid and iron levels seem fine so my problems seem pyschological. Medication along with some counselling seems to be the next step. My doctor was recommending Zoloft and possibly…

Not all were bothered by any theoretical jealousy-inducing scenario, but those who were said the reasons behind it were pretty simple: jealousy not only of the third party, but of the spouse getting to have fun without them—particularly for people raising families.

Thanks, also Garnier products are sold everywhere

Hoping a few people could give me some advice about the BB cream they can recommend for pale, reddish skin that STILL breaks out at 36 years old. I’ve been using L’Oreal but I’m not loving it. Looking for the lovely dewy finish on my skin.

I’ve seen quite a lot around Vancouver BC. It looks strange and because they all seem to be black in colour and matte, you can’t see the car which seems dangerous. It’s a stupid trend

thank you for well wishes

Thank you. It really is amazing that she is alive at all

Thank you. They are nicknaming her Mango as she is the size of a mango. So tiny

I will admit it has been a tough week. My brother’s girlfriend delivered their baby on Monday at 24 weeks. A baby girl she weighed only 635 grams and 30cm long. She was born breathing but is now resperated and they found out that she had a stage 3 bleed in her brain. There is another scan to be done on Tuesday to see…

yep, that was my reasoning too

Age of consent varies from 16-18 across the US. Until 2008 the age of consent in Canada was 14, it’s now 16

Finally!!!! though to be honest I thought there would more cats but this is surprisingly listenable

Let’s hope this gets out of the greys

Same sex marriage is not recognized in Australia but common law partnerships carry nearly as much legal weight. An Australian citizen can sponsor their partner to become a resident and that partner can be of the same sex
