Yup, they'll take expired coupons and multiple coupons per transaction.

Bed Bath and Beyond takes expired coupons. (BB&B flyers are the only junk mail I would be pissed to stop getting.)

I totally disagree with #1. Food is the thing that people are most likely to remember. Everybody remembers the wedding that required a trip through a drive through on the way home.

Very true. KitchenAid mixers also tend to be things that people are happy to go in together on. I've bought 20% of a mixer several times.

The plural of anecdote is not data. Just because you had an easy experience does not mean that it is typical. Statistically, the risks are much lower and the recovery time much shorter for vaginal birth.

Argh! She did report it to the Providence police. If you're going to go around victim blaming at least read the article first.

Eh, I think that had more to do with how very racist the US was. People had largely disassociated from their German heritage during WWI. But lots of people thought eugenics was a great idea.

My (straight) husband is jealous of my ability to use concealer. He has a tendency to get big red zits between his eyebrows right before big meetings.

In college a guy friend from Texas made an off-handed comment about confident the girls in our group were. We were totally confused. Turns out her thought it was super special that none of us wore make up on a regular basis. We were all from New England or California. It never occurred to us to put on make up for a…

It sounds great but unfortunately, it doesn't work at all.

It's not actually that unusual (at least in my experience, none of the districts I've worked with have bats hit bullying policies like the one in the article). Lots of parents are horrified by things their kids do. She had already reached out at the beginning of the year to say that her goal for her kid for the year…

It does happen. No one is more horrified by my class bully than her mother. But when a parent is willing to work with you things tend to get better. This kid is better behaved now than she was a few months ago. (I think, I have this fear that she's just gotten sneakier and the other kids aren't telling us.)

Normally, I sleep like a rock. My husband can cuddle me or roll over or flail and I'll never notice. I make an excellent bedmate. Right now, I'm 8+ months pregnant and always uncomfortable and never sleep soundly. He's gotten used to it but I'm fucking miserable. I don't know how light sleepers cope with life.

That assumes that most physicians are good physicians. In Utah, 41.6% of women (in the study, on medicaid) were prescribed opiates. Your assertion that doctors who will write those prescriptions are rare doesn't hold water.

Oh my good god. I can't imagine what that would be like. I had contractions for a few hours this morning and my eyes were watering and I couldn't stand. I can't imagine having that all day, everyday. I'm glad you're getting good care.

The incentive is to see as many patients as possible. It's a lot faster to write a prescription than it is to actually figure out what's wrong. When doctors are expected to see 60+ patients a day this seems like an inevitable outcome.

To be fair, there's a big difference between black bears and grizzlies. (The black bear is afraid of you, the grizzly thinks your face looks delicious.)

That is adorable!

I try to give my friends and family the benefit of the doubt because I lie far away and if I'd gotten pregnant a few years ago they'd be seeing me in person. They come from an affectionate place. But I don't like pictures of myself and I'm not going to take them just to make my BFF happy.
