English is stupid

I have spent at least an hour today going in circles trying to understand why one article is talking about putting a bill aside for now and all the rest are discussing it as though it were still in parliament.

From dictionary.com:
ta·bled, ta·bling, ta·bles
To put or place on a table.
To postpone consideration of (a piece of legislation, for example); shelve.
To enter in a list or table; tabulate.

Idioms:
on the table
Up for discussion: Her new offer is on the table.
Put aside for consideration at a later date.

*bangs head against desk* English is stupid! I didn't even know that this could mean "up for discussion" when used as "tabled a bill" or "government tables bill." These are contradictory definitions! I cannot think of much that is more ridiculous than something which means the opposite thing from itself in the same language.

OK, is this regional? Grammar differences!

Boobies!

At my weight, a good bra can mean the difference between looking like an incredibly curvaceous woman, and a blob with lumps.

I need bras. I need bras that fit. Even if I lose weight, it will be slow enough that it is worthwhile to have a few bras which fit right.

So, I'm checking this site out. It looks pretty informative so far, but we'll have to see!

We are two bisexual, polyamourous, kinky people looking for poly friendly, kink friendly, queer friendly folk with which to form a new household.
Folks who are frightened by the sounds of loud and/or kinky sex coming from the other room need not apply. Folks who object to housemates bringing home several different lovers (at the same time, or on different nights) also need not apply.
