I'd rather a cat have a happy home — sans claws, than a homeless cat because it was destructive with it's clawing. I'm not 100% supportive of declawing, but if it needs to be done, I think a happy cat with a home is better than one in the already overfilled shelters.

Is that like vagina dentata?

Completely agree with you and with a lot of the other replies to your post. Just because the author doesn't like female condoms doesn't mean other women don't find them useful. Just like with many of the other debates: if you don't like them, don't get/use one. But don't put down other women who choose to use one.

Exactly this. If I ever got pregnant (unlikely), I'm only going to the doctor periodically and I'm not gonna do a damned thing different about my life. I don't do anything truly horrible as is, but I'll be damned if I have to give up anything and everything I might enjoy that might make pregnancy bearable.

It's kind of offensive to think that just because someone can't see themselves, it means that they don't care about how they look. It's kind of like when you're having a good hair/makeup day or are wearing some kickass outfit. You don't SEE yourself often, but you KNOW you look good, and you feel good as a result.

I swallow, but it's my hubby, so I'm ok with it. I will state that I NEED to have a "chaser" drink afterwards. Some soda, a juice, anything. It leaves some nasty breath unless you wash it down.

I call my husband, "bunny." So, chick is fine with me — and allowed by your rules.

Am I the only one that doesn't "friend" my co-workers on FB? There's LinkedIn if I want to keep in touch. My FB is for my friends and those who I can feel comfortable posting snarky comments and pictures of my political leanings. That is not where I act professional and am in "career" mode. I do career mode at…

Dry ear wax? You mean people have goopy ear wax?!

I have SUPER itchy ears and am woken up sometimes by it. It would be a once-a-day, need to scrub the heck outta my ear canals with a Q-tip desire. After 6 years of rubbing my ear canals to the point they almost bled, I finally got good health insurance and went to the doctor. They didn't have a diagnosis for me,…

That can't be right. My husband is an EMT (albeit in Michigan), he doesn't check immigration status or whether you even have insurance. When he rolls on the scene, he either takes you to the ER or not. He doesn't have the time or resources to check citizenship or things like that. I'd suspect Virginia is similar. …

Yes! thank you! I never understood why, when a cheating partner is discovered, the stilted partner goes after the one that the cheated partner cheated with. While I can't deny I'd have bitter feelings towards my cheating partner's other partner, my ire would be mostly focused on my cheating partner!

Good info, Bill! It was great to see you and Horst do so well in the great white north. Congrats on the trophies. This is really great info for anyone looking to fully understand more of rally and the intricate relationship between driver and co-driver.

Is it? I don't know if it's incorrect. That's where the argument is. If someone says, "I'm going to kill you" each week, even if they're 13, you might start to believe them. Maybe he won't kill her NOW, but he might eventually when he's older. The entire tone of the article wasn't that, "I am the mother of the…

Yeah, the Nazi Hitler thing was a bit of a stretch; I was just trying to make an example of the statement that slander is considered false information. His mother is spreading BAD information and it's a horrible leap of logic for his mother to make, but she's not saying anything blatantly incorrect or harmful. She's…

The other issue is that she's talking about her son who is a minor. I believe she's allowed to say whatever she likes since she is his guardian. And he cannot sue for slander because 1) he's a minor, and 2) Common Law states that for something to be slander, it has to be incorrect. Since the boy does have issues…

I love the end of the video: "And then back to Christmas carols." Like the pianist was all sneaky in slipping in those songs. It doesn't matter, it's still gorgeous to listen to.

Sorta agreed. I think the reporter just picked the wrong person to talk to. Those dogs are there for people who are in Newtown. They're not there for some random religious person to pet. Or it could be I'm just grumpy because that lady had to interject how religious she is — as if that matters at all!

Thankfully I never experienced that this Halloween. I would've refused to give them candy. Okay, not really because we bought WAY too much candy and I was giving toddlers 2-3 handfuls at the end. But in principle, I would've denied them candy!

I'm all for guys showing their feelings. But if I had pretty much JUST met a guy and he started sobbing at me and begging me not to leave him, I would run as far as I could from that guy. The list of acceptable reasons for a guy to cry in front of you after you had JUST MET is pretty short — and it includes things…
