Has anyone found that their hair grew back differently after many years of short hair? I had very long hair until about 20, then chopped it all off and rocked a pixie cut for 6-7 years, and now it’s almost down to my shoulder blades again (maybe 3 or 4 inches from my previous maximum length).

It’s the US. We are just starting to get chip and pin cards- my bank sent me one a few months ago and I’ve only used the chip part at a single store so far. When we use a credit card at the restaurant, the server brings you a leather folder with a printed list of all the charges. You put your credit card in the folder…

Pre-online banking, maybe, but lots of people check their accounts online throughout the month. I signed up for mint after getting my credit card number stolen for the second time in 6 months. Now I check my transactions at least 3 or 4 times a week- in that time frame, I think a lot of people would notice. Not…

You should probably see a dermatologist. A lot of people with high skin cancer risk get yearly checkups. It’s totally noninvasive, so there’s no real downside to getting a skin screening- the doctor just looks closely at your skin for anything suspicious. If you have an atypical mole or something else that looks like…

Also, even if you’ve eaten a food you’re mildly allergic to 10 times and ‘only” get a rash and some swelling, there’s always a possibility that the 11th exposure could send you straight to anaphylaxis.

It’s a good start, but I’ve got a couple thought.

Yeah, this is an important point. If you order something without tomatoes because you don’t like tomatoes, and it comes out with them anyway, the appropriate response is to have them remake it. Not to fake a tomato allergy the next time.

I think the author might have made a mistake on the timeline there. She was 19 when they started dating in 2005, so probably 22 when they broke up in 2008, which is old enough for law school. She could have been a teenager when she loaned him the money and a law student when she asked for it back, but she was probably…

It’s possible. Might not be worth it for everyone (certainly isn’t for me) but my sister hasn’t set foot in a fast food restaurant in years. She’s always got some healthy snacks in her car and usually extras in her purse. Packs a PB&J if she knows she’ll need a meal on the run, and when we travel together she always…

That’s what I thought at first, but the details he gives make it a little more plausible. The name he used, Jojo, is his legal middle name, and he was born in Nigeria because his parents were working there at the time.

I don’t know about this study in particular, but a lot of the reporting on synthetic estrogens in the water omits the fact that birth control is only responsible for a tiny fraction of the problem- far more is coming from livestock and agriculture.

That's fine. But if I'm a person who cares about how my home looks, and who spends money and effort to make my home look inviting, I'm going to be concerned if the person I'm dating doesn't care enough to have a bedframe. It indicates that we have very different priorities and preferences, which bodes poorly for the…

The only thing I can think of is that they may not have looked at age? That would make sense to me- women tend to gain weight as they age, and I can believe that older women are probably more likely to find recipes via television shows while younger women are more likely to find recipes online, even if they watch…

That's all true, but when it comes to basic life skills like 'doing laundry' or 'taking out the trash' or 'not living in filth', the process you're describing is better known as "parenting".

While I'm glad that you and your wife have found an equilibrium that works for you, if my boyfriend tried that "not responsible for your happiness: thus not going to pick up after myself until you ask" thing, it would go something like this...

Yes, they are okay! Sardines are small fish that are low on the food chain and have short lifespans- all factors that result in them having less mercury than a bigger, longer-lived fish like a tuna.

I usually just prepare them the same way I would canned tuna- mix it up with mayo, mustard, some pickle relish and spices, then spread on crackers or toast. Sometimes I'll spread mustard and hot sauce on crackers, then top them each one with a chunk of sardine. My boyfriend can eat sardines from the can with a fork,…

Maybe check your local community center or YMCA? They sometimes have classes that are pretty chill and cater to newbies. You might also feel more confident after watching a few yoga classes on youtube, either following along or just watching to get an idea of what to expect. But be careful and don't try anything you…

True, once they get to a doctor, they can get diagnosed. The issue is that a lot of women having those symptoms don't go the ER or call their primary care doc.
