    Does anyone know why the box set linked above is so much cheaper than the ones on Amazon? I wouldn’t want to inadvertently buy a pirated collection.

    Again, where is the evidence there was coercion, much less that the story promotes or justifies it?

    I agree if the destruction happened after delivery. I know several people who have packages delivered at work or to a friend in town because it isn’t possible for whatever reason to have things delivered to their farm/country house. Would that be an option?

    My sister did tell our mom about her rape, but it was so obvious that something terrible had happened that she couldn’t really have hidden it. I think Mom guessed that it was some kind of assault and she broke down, then started talking.

    I’m curious to know what’s destroying the packages too.

    I forgot about that one. DD loved it.
  7. Word Nerd
    Never mind. Just saw the update.

    Not as weird as Spirited Away!

    It’s an electronic/EDM artist and DJ. Wikipedia will give you the basics. DH listens to him. I don’t think there are even actual lyrics, but I haven’t listened to much so that may be wrong.

    No, because that’s crazy.

    Totoro and Ponyo are the favorites of DD12.

    I think your assessment of the situation is incredibly cynical. I am not sure where you got the idea he would have charged them if she hadn’t agreed to let him adopt the baby or where the coercion occurred.

    I can't fathom ever staying in a stranger's house when they would not be staying up to let me in and I couldn't even meet them before crashing in their guest room. Maybe he thought the situation was too awkward, but he should have told you regardless of the reason his plans changed.

    Ours went up around $20 per month—along with the deductibles.

    Honestly, I don't really care what products people refer to as milk. Even though I do not see them as equivalent products, I am not in favor of banning the use of the term milk for non-dairy products.

    Milk of Magnesia is a brand name, and no one drinks it as a substitute for milk.
  17. Word Nerd
    I think calling it "milk" (in quotes) is appropriate.

    Musk already engaged them by asking the question.

    I really don’t understand cold shoulder-style sweaters. Why would I want cold shoulders in winter?

    Same. I'd wear old-fashioned 1980s-style pantyhose before I'd ever use a self-tanner.
  21. Word Nerd
    I'd do black hose or tights—whichever you're most comfortable with.

    I just watched Broadchurch with subtitles on and noticed a lot of erms.
  23. Word Nerd
    Possibly. I have a pair of Nikes that are a little more snug in the toes than other athletic shoes I have.

    NASA guards the ice wall to keep people out—because apparently they don't have anything better to do. ETA: Other than PhotoShop space photos.

    MPR confirmed it. ETA: Looks like they're also going to change the name of Prairie Home Companion: "By terminating the contracts, MPR and American Public Media (APM) will...change the name of APM's weekly music and variety program hosted by Chris Thile"
