Did anyone else hear Terry Gross interviewing Caroline Cline, who runs a crisis pregnancy center in Dallas, on Fresh Air yesterday? It was horrifying. Gross asked her, "If you convince, say, a 15-year-old to carry to term and keep the child or give it up for adoption, do you then counsel the 15-year-old about birth…

"And both males and females can bitch equally, it has nothing to do with gender."

:sniffle

OMG, I really wish we had referring to our children's potty training years as "using the cat box." I would have made them at least slightly less excruciating and more hilarious.

But she shouldn't be able to catch Gwynnie Syndrome, because she wasn't born rich or to famous parents, right? She basically had a normal childhood. I thought that vaccine was pretty effective, but I think she needs a booster shot.

"Her description of how childbirth helped her discover 'the power of being a woman' is a-goddamn-dorable."

Honestly, I'm dying to know who it was. It's like seeing a celebrity on the street. :)

Are any earrings worth two million dollars really going to be clip ons? Aren't those a serious fashion faux pas, not to mention risky, security-wise? If I designed them, I would not only want them to go through my client's skin via a very firm hole in her ear, but to then be soldered directly to her skin to prevent…

I once saw a plate in California that said, "TCHNKDS." I was on the freeway, doing about 70 miles an hour, but I was so outraged that some gross pedophile would put "touching kids" on his or her license plate that I was seriously considering risking my life to run them off the road. Then I noticed a sticker with a…

There's really not even a recipe: Just chop up some boneless chicken (any cut you prefer, or use leftover cooked chicken—the leftovers from a rotisserie chicken are *perfect*) and cook it up with chorizo. The chorizo should be the kind you take out of the casing and scramble up, not the smoked kind that you cut into…

I'm from Southern California, so I thought I was an expert on real Mexican food, and I've never once seen it there, but here in North Carolina, it's quite common, and I've also had it in Georgia, so it may be available throughout the South.

LOL! I went to junior high school with Matt Damon's wife, and it's always completely bizarre to see her on tv at the Oscars or whatever.

Choripollo, which as far as I know is a North Carolina/southeastern Mexican specialty. It's chicken and chorizo sauteed together and then smothered in melted white cheese called queso. It's served with warm tortillas and beans and rice and is heart-stoppingly delicious (especially when you realize how much lard is in…

Huh? I absolutely would. RNs give enemas, and medications, and most everything else you get in your hospital room (as opposed to, say, surgery, which happens in an OR). Generally, at least in my state, a physician is required to put in a chest tube or do a thoracentesis, but nurses do almost everything else that…

OH HELL NO. I have given enemas to my patients, and giving a soapsuds enema is gross enough for anyone. (Generally, they are weak enough that I have to stay with them and help hold them up while they expel the enema.) Giving a shit enema might actually drive me out of my career.

HIPAA applies to medical workers—your doctor, your nurse, etc. School employees aren't bound by HIPAA, to my knowledge (except the school nurse). However, they ought to be bound by basic human dignity and civil rights and the desire to not be total, complete assholes.

You say "Nutrifusion and whole food concentrates," but I hear "Soylent Green."

Being hard, bland, and over-priced are part of the Girl Scout cookie tradition. ;)

WTH? My kid started selling her cookies three days ago, but we don't have mango or coconut cookies! We just have the regular ones that have been around forever, and those gross Savannah Smiles, the new lemon cookie from last year that replaced the Lemonades, which were about fifty times better and didn't taste like…

If you're doing something wrong, I am too. It's more like a three-minute long choose-your-own-adventure story.
