During the reign of the Khmer Rouge (in which 2 million Cambodians died), Siv Hong, her sister Bo and her father got separated from her mother and 5 other siblings. Word soon got to Siv Hong that her 5 other siblings had starved to death, with no word about her mother. Her father was then murdered by a Khmer Rouge…
Or, TW incest, sexual abuse
The Constable and I are having 20 people over for a Seder this weekend in our not very big one bedroom apartment. He’s not thrilled about a bunch of our drunk guests running around the apartment complex looking for the afikomen (and I think we’re both worried about people falling into the pool) and I’m pretty sure the…
I haven’t seen one of these in a while, so let’s have a dinner thread, GT! I went way out of my cooking comfort zone today and the results were yummy. I made this seared pork tenderloin with blackberry wine reduction (I skipped the mushrooms because they are not RedHandedJack’s favorites), plus these parmesan roasted…
Today, it has broken in the Mass Media that South Korea, in preparations for the 1988 Olympics, forced nearly 15,000 people (at least) into work camps, where they were subject to abuse, human slave labor, and false imprisonment.
We got our new car 2015 Camry with navigation AND moonroof. Less then 15k miles for 22k.. Anyone have a moon roof? I always wanted one but now wonder if it will leak or if we are driving a bird drops poop on us.
This lemur demands all the scritches.
If you’re having a bad day, just remember:
It’s late at night, GT. You’re walking on the lido deck (sadly, not the Jared Leto deck, but don’t worry, this cruise still has you covered), while a salty ocean breeze ruffles your hair and the scent of jasmine is heavy in the air. The moon is full and heavy, when suddenly the breeze picks up, blowing your sarong off…
I just started a new birth control pill on Sunday so I’m keeping a mental log of my physical/emotional feelings to keep track of any possible side effects that I need to call the doctor about. Here’s what that would look like:
Just a reminder that our book this month is Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters. I just started it today!
The whole story is just awful all around. But really. If you’re at the scene of a vicious assault, where someone’s life is in danger. Get to a safe area and call for help. It’s not hard.
I know we have had a few of these lately, but today there is truly a great deal on Amazon for a product I can recommend!
Looks like it didn’t matter for shit when the people spoke. Boaty McBoatface, the overwhelming name choice of critical thinking advocates everywhere for the UK’s latest marine research vessel, got shot down by Science Minister Jo Johnson. Even worse, the guy who came up with the name is now apologizing for it. Dude,…
Long story short: Whole Foods says their employee didn’t write the slur. The customer/pastor says they had to have done it b/c the cake box is sealed.
I’m so excited about this. I loved Xena so much. A friend mentioned the reboot to me over the weekend and I’ve been reading all about it. (I’m several months late on the news, but that’s just how these things go. I miss everything.)
It turns out that my concussion is not bad at all. It was my brain’s way of getting me into Emerg and into a CT scan. Because I have a brain lesion. Completely unrelated to hitting my head. I’ve probably had it for over a decade. I’m asymptomatic and it looks benign so they aren’t super concerned ATM. But I need to go…
I just realized that I had a horrible anxiety dream last night which involved 1) an infestation of cockroaches including some huge ones; 2) a HUGE spider with weird stripes on its legs, srsly like a movie spider; 3) leaving my cats somewhere for a week without food or water; 4) trying to wrangle my incontinent…
What’s the thing you’re so bad at, that you’ve become infamous among people you know for how terrible you are at it?
Mr Ivriniel’s maternal grandfather’s birthday party was on Saturday. Mr Ivriniel just told me something my FiL did prior to the party that I had to share.
