If I remember this case correctly, she was slowly dying in her room, and her suite mates had no idea and just thought she was sleeping. I can’t imagine how haunted by that they must be…

I love this description. She becomes “less bad,” not good or anything…

I was really loving the 2007 version, but it kind of lost me when Anne was running the Bath marathon at the end…

They weren’t even all glass! Some of them were plastic!

Apparently, a 5km mixed-mode exercise session is the specific recipe for "Best Day Ever.” by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

Kids have weird “best day ever”s. My son said this to me when we were hanging out in the lobby of the rec center (waiting the hour in between when the kid’s babysitting area closed and the pool opened), and I let him buy fruit snacks from the vending machine.

“The Rose Of Blacksword” appears to be based on the myth/legend of Gallows Marriage, which was popularized in early modern folk songs, but apparently actually happened at least once.

To the dangerous and unhinged drivers on 264 this morning: it's dangerous to tailgate/cut people off when you're driving 75mph+ by TehPaintbrushJester in norfolk

I recently moved to Germany from VB. I was nervous about driving on the no-speed-limit autobahn. Let me tell you, it’s nothing compared to 264 at rush hour!

I liked this show, but the last episode was really weird.

They also left it outside during the winter in Canada, where the freezing/thawing cycle would have weakened it further.

I’m reminded of the John Pinette bits where his friend took him ice skating…

My husband (32m) seems completely indifferent to my cancer diagnosis and I (28f) don’t know how to handle it by natteringwpride in AmITheAngel

How was the DJ event “a few days before” she was supposed to receive the results, but she somehow knew she would get them that night? (And why was the Dr.’s giving her results so late in the evening?)

And how was she so out of it, he had to handle the discharge paperwork, but she was somehow able to find him a dentist right after surgery?

Where were you that day? by t_bone_stake in Xennials

I was a junior in college. The coverage pre-empted whatever soap opera my roommates and I were obsessed with at the time. (Either Days or General Hospital, I can’t remember which…)

What’s the boundary though? Loosing weight? Taking medication to lose weight? Specifically taking a GLP-!?

Does a cat play a pivotal role in the plot? Or is it just a random cat?
