For the ladies of guys who want a vasectomy but keep delaying it, tell them that EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING works great as a birth control method.

If you're a dude who doesn't want kids, it's really fucking simple: GET THAT VASECTOMY. I feel impatient towards anyone trying to rationalize not getting one/delaying it when they have made up their mind about remaining childless. Why? Because wom…

Re: sudden death You guys don't know what you're talking about, just sayin'. It's all so intensely hypothetical until it happens to you or someone you know.

About drinking bourbon to stay warm: I remember hearing that alcoholism among the homeless in Montréal puts them even more at risk in cold temperatures because alcohol only gives you the illusion of warmth, you feel better, but your body is still t…

The weird thing about epidurals is that the people around me who are all like "OMG, no acpuncture for me, I HATE NEEDLES!" are the same ones going into childbirth saying "Yes, all the drugs, please!". I guess it is just a general aversion to pain a…

I think I might be the only other UHX user with first-hand birth experience... mo? Drug free here as well. An epidural or getting cut-up (c-section or episiotomy) were the things I wanted to avoid most in the entire world. They did give me an i.…

About a year ago there was this perfect tiny private island on a lake with a house on it for sale that was under $200 000 CAN. I looked at it daily for a while and now it's gone. I sort of kick myself. You could ski from your house to the "land" …

I dunno you guys... SPACE is nice. I definitely think no one should live in a huge house where they don't use ALL of the space, that's obscene. But living in a huge place could be exciting if you managed to make a bunch of people benefit from it. …

Witch hazel is my favorite plant. I own three of them. They are like pets to me.
-
I am very glad you guys are all ok. Over here it is "spring". Witch hazel is in full bloom, which is normal, but forsythia and quince are already well on their way.

I remember meeting Alan at May's house. I remember seeing YoursTruly on the roof of a car with a twisted foot asking Khaela if she had peed her pants. I remember Alan being one of the three people who came to see me play at the Rockfish Bar and Gril…

A few years ago I bought an Ibanez bass from the 80s (at the Trading Musician again) for $200 and I LOVE IT. It's a great bass, solid, does the trick, and you wouldn't know it"s an Ibanez. My only experience with Ibanez before that was my first gui…

Personally, because I am not that well versed in what pick-ups and extra knobs do I find that the simpler the guitar, the better it is. My new guitar only has a tone knob, a volume knob, and two pick-ups (with a switch). That's enough for me. I th…

What I did was look at what kind of guitar the people who's music I liked were playing, for MANY YEARS. I wanted a Fender Jaguar, but somehow the only thing I could remotely afford was a Fender Jagstang (cheap because it was a friend's and I got th…

I love that mushroom house! It has weird things going on, though, like amazing and terrible together at last! That mural in the kid's room is, ughhh... And then weird brown shaggy carpet. But all those cool windows and a strange amount of light con…

Maybe I am too out of it to understand the article properly but this sentence: "If you opposed the headscarf and burqa bans, then today you must rally to the defence of freedom of expression with respect to Charlie Hebdo." seems to mean that the wr…

This article is long but covers pretty much everything that needs to be covered: https://ricochet.media/en/292/lost-in-translation-charlie-hebdo-free-speech-and-the-unilingual-left

I am so excited that you guys are looking for a house. Old houses are weird. After living in this one for over five years we re-did our bathroom (so we could take nice baths). There was this super weird material on the walls, not drywall, just re…

I am amazed, you are doing so much progress so quickly! THIS IS HUGE! Congratulations. I am seeing a lot of the acupuncturist these days for reasons similar to your own. Except I am just not scared of needles. I do bleed a little bit, though. O…

The show was basically some rich kid's kegger on a hill overlooking the city. As Fudge and I drove up, all the cars on the side of the roads were fancy. Like Mercedes and BMWs and Lexuses (Lexi?) and whatever other kind of cars rich people drive. …

I feel like I am going around and around in circles trying to argue against these same two points so many Amercicans unfamiliar with Charlie Hebdo are making right now: >you can't consistently depict Muslims in a borderline racist way, over and …

Last night I saw an interview on Democracy Now! where Art Spiegleman compares "Charlie Hebdo" to "South Park". I think it is the most apt comparison. "South Park" is the closest thing America has to this type of obscene satire where things are rea…

I am a huge fan of Joe Sacco and honestly have formed many my current opinions while reading his excellent books, but I struggle to understand the point he is trying to make with this comic. I like zin's summary.

@YoursTruly, I'm sorry you got steamed and so upset you couldn't work on your paper. I didn't mean to dismiss "American free-market fundamentalism" completely as a culprit. I just think there are more ingredients to this specific fucked up Charlie …

Fudge just read this one to me: http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/blame-for-charlie-hebdo-murders

Fair enough.

Ok, wait, about the article @MirandaJuly linked to... I feel like there is a definite vibe going on in the American internet right now that is taking the Charlie Hebdo cartoons way out of context. Every article I have seen in English in the past t…

Yeah, we are very good at nuances. All of us. Honestly, yesterday I was so obsessed and upset about this thing. I craved discourse about it pretty bad and here we are, all these cool people sharing their piece. I really did come from a place of n…

@YoursTruly, I totally agree with pretty much everything you say. I guess I just feel like turning the conversation into "American free-market fundamentalism is worse" makes it really fucking hard to even think of doing anything about it, or to eve…
