I'm a fan of preventing the damage. I got my last phone I put the screen protector on and popped it in a case. I'm very careful with devices but it does get thrown in my purse. I had the phone a week when I walked, holding it in my hand and it slipped and landed on my foot as I was stepping forward, which kicked it face down across a parking lot. I walked over dreading seeing the damage. The case popped apart but it took the brunt of the damage and when I pulled the screen protector off there was no damage. I slapped a new protector on and went about my business. $15 dollars of damage vs a new phone. Worth it.
Hmm I see Game Stop stepped it up and added a weapon to their incentive
Yep I have this issue all the time. I think the clothing industry just needs to admit that we all vary much more in sizes then in the past. S,M,L and XL are such a joke now. How are four sizes supposed to cover all the various types. While I can always find my size pants (10 or below depending on the store) when it comes to tops I am an XL in a lot of the stores. Sometimes even the XL just does not fit over my chest or arms, and I am not shopping high end stores here. I'm talking about Old Navy, Bobs, or Target. These stores sell over a 10, so why are the tops so damn tiny. On the other end of the spectrum my very slender friend throws on a small and sometimes it's unflatteringly baggy where it shouldn't be.
As much as I hate sewing I sometimes think I'd be doing myself a huge favor to be able to buy much larger clothes and just re-fit them, then go through the horror that is clothes shopping.
Yep I second this, mix with orange soda and you'll be surprised. I found some flavored candy corn like peppermint and gingerbread I think. I'm looking forward to dropping those in some vodka as well.
I still can't listen to that song as it yanks my emotional strings. I'm far over the ex but somehow it reminds me of that dark place and it's not one I'd like to relive.
Yeah that raised my eyebrows. She replied to herself eleven days later. And ok now that the laugh is done, I hope she gets some help. I've had some serious rage against an ex but obviously this is beyond normal. The story says they broke up in 2009, she clearly needs some help letting go.
I wonder how much this ties into hbc killing libedo. How much do you care about a fun sex life when you no longer want the sex?
I feel you on the lack of understanding growing up. I spent a long time looking at magazines feeling bad because I tried the style tips to look skinnier, the make up tips to look flawless, and the health instructions of drinking water to keep you skin clear. Of course none of it worked. And as I stood in line at grocery stores I'd see the magazines showing "worst beach bod" "guess who's cellulite this is" "who's so skinny it's digusting" and while just seeing the images sometimes brought home that the stars have the same imperfections I do, it didn't make me feel better. I wish there were more untouched photos available without the negative, like when Britney released some before photo's of her ad (at least I think she purposely released them). I could sit there and see the beautiful woman she is with her imperfections and absorb. (Thanks Jez!) It seems there are very few places to see the honest images without a back lash of nasty. Not sure how the law would work but I do think it's great if it brings out more awareness so we can teach. It's certainly up to us to spread the word to young women when we can.
Haha I just snorted at my desk. That comic was exactly what I needed to see after the whole Starfire debacle going on in the new comics. It's always bothered me, in a fight why would you want so much skin exposed? And really how do they keep their clothes in place, I never heard of one of the super powers being static cling.
Yeah for real, he probably enjoys the character of Jack (I know I do). If they are going to keep paying him he will keep doing them, and I will keep watching them. Although I'd bump my offer to a few thousand just to be able to hang with Johnny for a day, payment would be a bonus.
A small sentence but heavy with the truth
I think to the internet has made bullying so much easier. One can harass someone any time of the day and with various levels of anonymity. I am so greatful that I was out of school before these sites. Also maybe it really was for the best my mom refused to have the internet in the house so my only access was in school.
I think there needs to be more outreach for the depressed and huge kudos to those that keep encouraging people to hold on. It is almost impossible to see out of the black hole you become convinced is your life and the longer it goes on it seems things really won't get better. I remember one night calling the suicide hotline because the mental anguish I felt was so bad but part of me really wanted hope. I was in my early 20's and looking back I squirm at the thought of all I would have missed had I chose to end it that night and not had the amazing person on the other end of the line calm me and push for me to get help. And I can not imagine how much worse it must be when that span goes on for years and years as it often does for children/teenagers who are being bullied. And I have looked into some of the darker corners of the internet out of curiosity and am horrified that people can disconnect from the fact they are speaking to another human being, and often in these cases a suffering one and encourage them to end it or mock them harder for opening up to the fact they are in pain.

Agreed, I always wonder why some people thing they need to put an age range on it and make it a rule. You can only do what you believe is right for yourself.
Very true, how can people think they know what's best for everyone when circumstances vary so much? My mother had me late in life and I was unexpected because she had tried before to conceive and it never happened. She even had some bad health issues before/during/after pregnancy. Yet here I am, I was a little premature, but otherwise perfectly healthy. And when looking back and discussing her life before she had me, I think she was lucky she didn't have me much younger because she still ended up being a single mother and supporting me without child support. It was clearly better for her to have been able to afford daycare and private schools. There is no age at which you should be required to pop out a child (if you even want one) to prevent problems. All ages have benefits to them and people are entitled to their opinions on which is better but it will never be a fact one stage of life is better then the other.
Simply put, I don't. Don't get me wrong some parents that murder their child may still report them missing within the 48 hours (I would imagine most would) but then they have 48 hours to hide the body, clean the crime scene, and cover up everything not a whole month or longer. I signed so that someone would look into making a law that makes it a crime to wait overly long. As a parent you have certain responsibilites to your child and maybe I just need an example, I am not unwilling to see other opinions, but what normal parent wouldn't report their child missing within 48 hours?
You can not possibly estimate how many people this may help/save, nor can I. And I barely even watched the case, so it's not an emotional reaction on my part. I think if you fail to report your child missing there should be a consequence, plain and simple.
And sure I'd love to save innocent people court fees but that is part of our legal system. Innocent people probably end up paying lots of money on lawyers and fees. It's unfortunate but what other option is there? Technically we have laws against murder and obviously they don't deter murderers either but that doesn't mean the law shouldn't exist.
I am not a lawyer or police officer, I can not say with certainty that this law is for the best, but I agree with the concept and I signed the petition so that it would get consideration. If it does not pass I will not be up in arms. I just wanted it looked into.

If the child is supposed to be sleeping over someone's house and you don't find out they are missing until the next day, they could charge you but that doesn't mean you will automatically be found guilty. However if your child is supposed to be home and you don't bother to follow up when you don't see them and days go by....well I do think there should be a punishment. I'm someone that signed that petition. While I can see their point (and I hadn't looked at it that way before) I do still think the option should be there. Part of the problem with the Casey Anthony trial was that guilty or not, if the child had been found quicker we might have had more concrete evidence one way or another as to what exactly happened. When it comes to children going missing, it is heavily reliant on a parent to report it. I think 48 hours is fair. 12 obviously is very extreme. I don't think the law will save anyone's life, at least that wasn't why I supported it, it's so that the cops can search for the child sooner. In 31 days much evidence that may have proved Casey's guilt or innocence was lost.
In their defense it was seems like it was targeted at people who walk in the store right up to an associate without bothering to look themselves. I worked clothing retail and I have to side with that gripe. You looked and didn't find it, sure not a problem let me run over and help you double check. But I can not tell you how many people walked in (sometimes past the clothes), right up to me as the cashier, and pointed at something and asked "Do you have that in a size ___?" And yes it annoyed the hell out of me. Yes my job was service and of course I smiled and checked for them never letting on that I found it rude, but really you couldn't at least look yourself? And while service people are paid to help customers my job was more then walk people around the store and do the shopping for them. I had to ring people up, reorganize the displays, clean the dressing rooms that said 3 objects at a time but would magically have 15+ articles all inside out and thrown in a pile, help the people who actually needed jeans off the high wall, or help pick out a present for someone. And they did say, fine this is our job but let's be clear about it. I can't disagree with that.
Agreed, I've tried to encourage people to adopt and stop buying and when I take them online some of the photo's are so bad and then the kicker is they lack any information. The shelters that take the time to journal an animals attitude probably get the most traffic since you get to know a little about the animal before you come down. One with a dirty scraggly dog that just says breed mixed is likely to only capture the attention of those of us that find pathetic looking to be more heart tugging.
Love x 1000. She taught me to knit and crochet and I'm thrilled to see her branching out into videos as well.
