Yeah, she just looks like she's heading to the beach to my eyes.

Brilliant analogy!

I think that if they actually morphed the various celebrities together not feature-by-feature but holistically the result would be much more attractive.

That's exactly the POV that my gynecologist has. If a woman thinks she will be a more reliable user of the patch or Nuva Ring than a daily pill, the greater reliability outweighs the slightly increased (but still very low) risk of blood clots.

Women should absolutely be made aware of the risks, but THEY should be the ones to decide (in conjunction with their gynecologists) whether or not the convenience of the ring or patch compared to a daily pill outweighs the slightly increased (but still very low) risk of blood clots.

I don't think the nanny state government should be taking away an effective and convenient form of contraception just because it has slightly higher (but still very low) risk of blood clots. Give women and their gynecologists the information they need to make informed decisions for themselves about the Nuva Ring and…

6 out of 10,000 may be double 3 out of 10,000 but that's still a really low risk. And before you go discounting the "convenience" factor, bear in mind that the risk of a blood clot during pregnancy is 30 out of 10,000. So if a woman would be a more reliable user of a once-weekly hormonal contraceptive like the Nuva…

My gynecologist recently put it this way about the Ortho Evra patch: the chance of a blood clot with the patch is around 6 in 10,000 vs. 3 in 10,000 for the daily pill. The chance of a blot clot during pregnancy is 30 in 10,000. So if a woman thinks she will be a more reliable user of the once-weekly patch than the…

As my gynecologist recently put it in regards to the Ortho Evra patch: the risk of having a blood clot while on the patch is 6 in 10,000 vs. 3 in 10,000 for regular pill users. The risk of having a blood clot while pregnant is around 30 in 10,000. So if a woman thinks she will be a more reliable user of the…

Certain color schemes age better than others. My parents' was yellow, which actually looks fine except for the fact that my dad unfortunately chose to wear a yellow tux (gotta love the '70's!). My in-laws' was avocado, which forever screams "I was married in 1972!" Mine was navy, gold, and ivory and 15 years later, I…

Too bad you picked such an unflattering photo for such a beautiful actress.

Jesus did tell His followers to love one another and not to cast stones. HOWEVER, He also told the adulteress that she needed to sin no more. He didn't give people license to do whatever they felt like doing, but warned them that they should follow the narrow way. Love the sinner, hate the sin.

If you can't trust your husband/boyfriend to be honest with you, I think you've got bigger problems in your relationship.

Membership is declining because the revamping has eliminated all the fun activities and replaced them with a horribly dull workbook-based program. I loved being a GS growing up and was so disappointed with my oldest daughter's Daisies experience. We dumped it in favor of 4-H, which still has all the fun projects like…

I loved GS growing up and was disappointed when there wasn't enough membership interest after Cadettes to support a troop of seniors in my town.

Save the money for a good lawyer to draft the pre-nup that you are inevitably going to need.

My objection is using the term "curvy" as a euphemism for "fat". "Curvy" just means having an hourglass figure. There are thin hourglasses and voluptuous hourglasses (Emme, Tara Lynn, Christina Hendricks, etc.) but a lot of the women I hear claiming to be "curvy" actually have apple-shaped figures (small bust & hips,…

Sour grapes, perhaps?

Exactly! Real women come in ALL shapes and sizes, from petite through Amazonian. Eat healthy, exercise in moderation, and embrace your body, whatever size it may be.

Detaining the mom and giving her a c-section might absolutely have been necessary to protect the baby. I can't make that judgment without knowing more details about the case.
