Why on earth don't women in the Netherlands get Pap smears?

Just ask her! Next time you have a checkup, ask if she thinks it would be okay to switch to less frequent Pap smears. Doctors and nurses should be happy to talk about things like that with you—it's their job! If they aren't comfortable with discussing it or act like a jerk, they aren't doing a good job. (That doesn't…

Huh? The expansions to this bill were all about expanding services to help people who have been victims of domestic violence. It's not as if they added on a bit of pork barrel spending to fund bowling alleys or something. Maybe I'm misreading you.

Dennys, I guess. That's about it.

As far as I know, they're only in the South. They very definitely weren't in California, Oregon, or anyplace out West when I was growing up, and I still visit at least once a year, and I've never seen one out there.

It's true. My husband does not like sugary stuff of any kind—cake, pie, candy, brownies, anything. People freak the fuck out when he tells them he doesn't like dessert. It's like saying you enjoy killing puppies on the weekends.

Hell no. Cheesecake beats ANYTHING.

It is embarrassing to think how exactly that resembled me when my one-year-old got away from me for one freaking second and fell headfirst into a Jacuzzi.

Is that really real? It can't be real. Please let it be real.

I'll bet it was intended to be listed under Addicting Games or under MTV, as @RamonaQuimbyAge8 (great username!) said, and got posted under Nick by mistake. At least, I really hope that's what happened, because NickJr is the best kids tv channel available right now, and I don't want them to start doing crappy stuff…

Is there a chance this isn't actually by Nickelodeon? I looked it up on iTunes, and there is an Addicting Games app on there with the comments that the original poster quoted, but the app's logo looks totally different from their other games (which all feature Dora, Sponge Bob, etc.) and it doesn't have any of their…

Don't insule Miss Teen South Carolina by comparing her to Sarah Palin! At least Caitlin Upton was smart enough to say later that she was completely overwhelmed and totally lost her head and looked like an idiot in public, and had the good humor to joke about it on the MTV Music Awards. Sarah would never have enough…

I was thrilled too—I wasn't planning on voting for McCain in any way, but I was incredibly excited at the idea of having a woman running for vice-president. Like @organicgardener, however, as soon as I heard her first speech, I was horrified. I had been so excited about being able to show my little daughters that not…

What is this Hot Chicken you speak of? I love chicken, and I lot hot things, and I need to know! Just the name sounds like something I want to eat right this minute.

According to their website, their 20-year-old daughter, Jana, is interested in midwifery and is "assisting a doula." That is *not* studying to be a nurse. Doulas are lovely, but it takes about two weeks to learn how to be one; they are basically women who help laboring mothers have a happy birth. They are not medical…

Of course they don't. But a father who forced his daughter to live with her rapist might well hate her.

Sadly, the post where he brags about the passage of his shitty bill to make abortion clinics get regulated as if they were hospitals is still up there.

I wonder why the family brought charges against him in the first place. Maybe they were actually hoping she'd be forced to marry him to prevent some kind of dishonor. When I read that sentence, I thought, "Oh, well at least her family was supporting her, even though her country's legal system is a nightmare!" But then…

Their daughters get no higher education and no options other than spending their entire childhoods being substitute mothers for their younger siblings and then getting married and becoming mothers themselves. If a person chooses that for themselves, great. If you raise your child so that is all they are ever allowed…

That was my first thought! I haven't even spent more than about ten minutes on farms in my entire life, and even I know that farmers don't risk losing their perfectly good animals to sepsis and massive infection by keeping a stillborn fetus inside them! What an total ass.
