Don't get me wrong, I am ALL for pain relief having a very low threshold myself. All I meant was there's a downside to feeling NO pain ever. People with chronic pain are so not the problem so why are we giving them grief???by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
Poor silly Brit. As a native Californian I could have told him winter is our rainy season. It can get cold too, temperatures in the forties have been reported ;-)by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
What secrets? The only secret of the the Pyramids is a slight uncertainty over the exact techniques used to erect the biggest of them.by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
A lost shipping container, of course.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
Sounds pleasant but not feeling pain can be quite dangerous as you won't know if you're injured and might well do further damage to yourself. Anxiety too has it's place unpleasant as it is to experience.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
God I love that commercial!by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
In yeah, who could resist a straight line like that?by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
Let's just ignore the fact that it's in the wrong direction and much too far for the AEs or Plato to have heard of it.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Noooooo!!!!! I'm a frantic cat lover. I like dogs too and I've got nothing against pigs or goats.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
There is no doubt that some statues were deliberately damaged. But noses and ears are protruding features and so vulnerable to accident as well. Telling one form of damage from the other isn't easy.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
How do they explain the fact you can walk or fly across Antarctica and find yourself in the opposite hemisphere?by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
The Herodians were only questionably Jewish as I recall and never very popular though they excelled at sucking up to Romans.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
I assume you're referring to the drug use?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
You don't need drugs to induce a state of religious ecstasy, or hysteria if you prefer, and it is ridiculously reductive to claim the experience of the initiates was solely due to chemicals. By the time they entered the Telesterion initiates had been preparing themselves for weeks. They expected a profound, life changing experience and the hierophants delivered.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Allow me to say 'ouch'.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
What did I tell you all? Stonehenge is the venue of the Wessex Culture's All Britain Beer Bash!by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Yikes! Sounds like a real mismash. And with apologies to the Jane's family, why would anybody want to be descended from Jesse James?by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
With difficulty. :-Dby Roxana Cooper - Humanities
Well, yeah, obviously.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Ahhhhhhh! Right no South America.by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
If she had children it would be more likely she had inherited her position from her husband or was acting as regent for a son. Given the apparent lack of injuries to the bones it is most unlikely she worked her way up from the front lines. Another woman who led troops was Ahhotep, widow of King Seqenenre and mother of Ahmose. She is described as commanding the army while regent for her son andby Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
But it would have something to do with her marital status. What little is in the paper suggests she was a physiologically normal woman whose slender bones and lack of injuries do not suggest a warrior. The burial equipment does imply a leadership role that was accepted and recognized. Any number of women have led armies, not just Joan, but few donned armor or swung a sword. As a rule they wereby Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Poor little thing was just looking for a snug place to shed its skin! Hopefully it will end up in a nice warm reptile house somewhere.by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
I dunno, Mary Stuart fans can be a bit extreme. I am not such a fan but it's hard not to feel sorry for a young woman who in little more than a year loses father figure, mother and husband. Not to mention her rank and her home. Mary pretty much spent the rest of her life trying to regain the splendor and security she'd enjoyed as Dauphine and briefly Queen of France.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
The lady could have been a leader of warriors without actually swinging a sword herself. She could have taken over a husband or father's position and been very good at it. At least good enough to be accepted and respected by her warband. She could have been a brilliant tactician and planner without ever using a weapon. I agree with KK, a careful analysis of the bones would tell us a lot abouby Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Maybe it meant 'women are insatiable' that seems to have been a common Medieval meme judging by the fabliaux.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
I am never going to Australia. Never. Too many snakes. And spiders the size of dinner plates. Eeek!by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
Our ancestors were an earthy lot.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
Exactly. So what made Edge Hill so hazardous?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
I've seen smaller versions of this phenomena but I never knew it had a name.by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
