@steampunkwyn: it looks like there are quite a few studies on levels of speech. For some reason I can’t access my university’s journals right now, but Google Scholar turned up one (among many!) that might be useful:

Catherine G. Krupnick, “Women and Men in the Classroom: Inequality and Its Remedies,” from 1985

Results of the study: men were particularly dominant when the class was male-dominated with a male instructor; women talked much more than usual with a female instructor. Male and female instructors talked around the same amount of time and female students tended to interrupt each other. Regardless of the circumstances, men always talked more than women, and for greater lengths of time.

I think you should know Alec Hardy is slowly killing me.

I disliked Decoy Bride. "they hate each other; it must be destiny" is pretty much my least favorite trope. false identity at a wedding is pretty low. after all that, the "happy" ending didn't feel earned (to me).

Yeah, I completely agree. Also, Kelly MacDonald and David Tennant have zero chemistry, as far as I’m concerned. Their connection felt very forced and awkward to me, and I didn’t buy it for a minute. But, then, yeah, I hate romcoms so perhaps I’m not a fair judge. I’m not a very romantic person, and I really hate anything to do with weddings. So this movie was just not made for me. DT in that ridiculous outfit with the plaid pants and the wooly vest was pretty priceless, though.

Why would you go to a chiropractor? All of your symptoms are neurological? (Where are the people who tell you this?) But surely that time you burned your hand would have merited a trip to the ER? Anyway, I will keep you in my thoughts/prayers. <3

Yeah, it’s like “a chiropractor would get you X-Rays” and... uh... ???

Yes, the burn from Thanksgiving would be ER-worthy, given that I still have the scar, but I didn’t have any insurance then. YAY USA. Now I get emergency coverage out of state, should my insurance deem it worthy, but obviously something has to kick it off. That happened back in Cali, but the ER in my miserable suburb took seven hours to see me and just ran the same tests I’d already had. (Surprise!! I’m not pregnant and I don’t have Parkinson’s or heart failure. I also, more surprisingly, have healthy levels of vitamins, minerals, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.) They thought it might be a pinched nerve in my neck, or maybe an anxiety attack (???????? - my fingers had been numb for three months 24/7, which I told them) but really I needed to see a neurologist, and their entire hospital doesn’t have one. Portland’s do, so I’m basically just waiting for an excuse to go.

Thanks!!

Head canon: Ethan is both fascinated and concerned by the way Vanessa habitually eats desserts for breakfast. He'd fix her bacon and eggs, but there she is with sponge cake. Strawberries. Crème brûlée. Other things he can't pronounce, that drip syrup or raspberry sauce off her fork and leave scant crumbs of chocolate pastry in their wake. Not much. Vanessa eats dessert the way she does everything else: no prisoners taken, no éclair left unturned.

Interesting.  I’d never really pegged Vanessa for much of a foodie, but I can see her having a bit of an indulgent side

Let’s talk headcanons because it’s hot af

I’m trying to figure out what made you think this was a viable plan. But keep in mind: I set my kitchen on fire making ramen noodles.

Well, lots of things stay good in the freezer just about forever and I figured, hey, it’s only bread, what could go wrong? Maybe it’ll be a little dry but whatever. I don’t like to waste food by throwing it away. The rest of these buns may end up as highly sweetened, heavily spiced bread pudding, spiked with enough brandy to kill my taste buds anyhow.
