I'm pretty sure that if something's contaminated with salmonella, it's contaminated from the time you get it home. It's not something that just suddenly springs up, like milk going bad.

Maybe they're fans of Louis Prima and Keely Smith.

Quick search reveals: "A cria (pronounced cree-ah) is the name for a baby camelid such as a llama, alpaca, vicuña, or guanaco. It comes from the Spanish word cría, meaning "baby". ..."

How's that? I know my taxes haven't been paying for his insurance premium so far, so why would my taxes pay for his insurance premium while his current coverage continues for up to eight more years?

Seconded.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most unemployed people earn less than $14,404 annually, making them eligible for Medicaid. If they make more than that in unemployment, then lifestyle changes may be necessary but doable.

This will be useful information when I'm hanging out at the bar with friends and they're teasing me for not drinking. See, I'm a grownup who drinks grownup drinks too!

You should have eaten more bacon and butter. You can't help but be satiated with enough fat.

Exactly. It would also be nice to know that my friends are using discretion in deciding whether or not to share an article. But, of course, they can't as it is now.

You obviously don't watch Game of Thrones.

He wouldn't be unemployed; he'd be in (early) retirement.

Yay! All the manufacturing of a dead-tree-book with none of the permanence! Unnecessary use of resources for all!

Well, so much for Molly's hope that the comments would be less trolly.

No, not pedantic. We needed this here.

Was going to say just this. Thanks for being ahead of me. ;)

I'm not sure, but it does completely change the ratio of center of gravity to base. I imagine that this technique is much easier with the squat model used than the lankier real statues.

I really, really like them... except for one thing: the added breasts are just odd. I don't know why that bothers me when it's clear that shoulders have been added and wings have been converted to arms... but it does. Oh well.

A commenter there said it best: "it is one thing to correct,report and punish a child for bullying other children, it is a completely different situation when you are the one being bullied. It was personal."

It's true that bullies rarely recognize themselves. However, the anti-bullying curriculum we use (created in-house by our wonderful counselors, I suspect) doesn't target the bullies as much as people who are neither bullies nor victims. They're being called upon not only to stop following along when bullying starts…
