She’s English. I took Winslet’s comments to be entirely too British—it’s incredibly rude to talk about one’s finances in public while British. Not a jab @ Lawrence, not a jab at anyone—just a general expression of distaste for discussing financial matters in public.

And the problem with IUDs maybe being the cause of recurring yeast infections is that there are few studies of how the string absorbs, resorbs, adsorbs, etc., the bacteria and fungi present in the vagina. And because there is a dearth of literature, there is a dearth of knowledge. And seriously, after hearing more…

Agreed. And I’ve gotten quite rude in this thread, replying to obvious libertarian and GOPer blowhards, who seem to think that health care is the reserve of those who earn millions a year.

You’re 100% fucked up if you think that his medical bills shouldn’t be covered simply because he’s an American citizen. You’re what’s wrong with this country—when you think that people who vote Democrat “get a montly check,” when we are better educated, and better employed than the majority of GOPers. You all are…

If you sue someone who cannot afford car insurance...just how much do you think he’s going to win?

Sue someone who cannot afford car insurance? Please, tell us how that goes.

Let me guess, under 30 white male? Has parents who aren’t of Medicare age yet? And you still think that people shouldn’t need state-funded health care, or education? That any, and all of that, should be funded locally?

There’s nothing “slow” about my participation in this discussion at all; I was one of their original commenters.

Well, no—you can be on hormonal birth control and still get breakthrough bleeding that would qualify as a ‘surprise period.’

There aren’t any dedicated “bussers” at any fast food restaurant. Fast food places will task out their staff as needed to do FOH cleaning vs. cashiering vs. cooking/barista-ing, or drive-through window.

No, not bad...just not necessarily realistic. At some point, you can’t really “lock” a kid up anymore, because they’ll climb out of the ‘cage,’ and destroy everything in sight.

“Creative” spelling just pisses me off. Nope. Straight up nope.

There’s bacteria on your skin. Lots of bacteria on your skin. And in your mouth, and in your nose. And everywhere your fingers go, there’s even more bacteria. We are all covered in bacteria!

It likely had nothing to do with the hair tie being dirty or infected, and more to do with the staph/strep we all carry around on our skin (and mouths, noses, etc.) We are all covered in bacteria.

You can still smoke in bars in parts of Philadelphia. And Wafflehouses in South Carolina, and parts of Georgia. I was in those three places within the last year, and was amazed to see ashtrays on the tables. And people smoking freely, inside!

“The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking” is an excellent album. If you haven’t given it a good listen...do so now!

The fact that Dear is still alive is white privilege. How you don’t see that, I honestly don’t understand.

Switzerland also has compulsory annual training and recertification needed for firearms ownership. And purchasing a firearm requires a criminal record check not less than 3 months old, official ID and an address check. Transfers of firearms between private parties requires all of the above, plus description and serial…

There’s no room for food!
