That is most certainly the truth — if you're exposed to a virus, the virus doesn't care what a healthy lifestyle you live. I wish some folks I know could understand this.

Well, if you're not feeling up to it, that's a whole other thing. Then, the best thing to do is definitely bed plus laptop. But, if ever you do feel like it, it is not necessarily a bloody affair.

If you take a bit of a wash beforehand, I assure you, you will not look like the first plague of Egypt. You won't be bleeding profusely and continuously; odds are, he wouldn't even come into contact with more than a few molecules of blood.

It's not really that different, tell you the truth. The mess is greatly exaggerated. If fortune favors you giving it a shot, I'd recommend going for it. If you're not feeling well, that's one thing, but otherwise, I suspect you'd find it similar to any other time.

This is valuable information, and clarifies a lot of things for me. I've never been on hormonal birth control and I am one of those interesting women who are naturally built like male Olympic gymnasts. Perhaps this is why my husband doesn't get angry when I use his razor.

I am excited about this because I have wanted a velvet Edwardian suit my entire life. I would wear it to all formal occasions.

My best friend is a man and he is a doctor, so sometimes he needs to wear a suit. He and I are the same height (5' 5") and have the same 32 inch chest. He has ended clothing shopping trips with such dark moods. It gives him an inferiority complex that he doesn't need.

Well, thanks! I hate to disappoint you, though, but I am married already. Other than that, thank you for the compliment.

I am going to politely disagree with you; there are many, many people who have been decent human beings starting in their youth.

Or when he was cruel to a blind teacher at his school?

Apropos of nothing, I babysat for a rat that looked exactly like Remy from Ratatouille, and I constantly asked her to cook for me and she never did.

That is AWESOME! Congrats on your one year lifting anniversary, and teach me how to do that knitting, please! Huge fist bump from NYC, amazing person with amazing interests.

Oh! Oh! I can explain! The hand on the hip helps to bring the shoulders back and opens the chest, making the waist look narrower.

I love the OTs and PTs out there, but they are primarily therapists. I'm primarily a teacher, which means that I take a slightly different approach which is generally a *LOT* more fun for the kids in my practice. I would have loved to teach you! In fact, if you are willing to pretend that you're 16, I would teach…

Thank you, that's much appreciated. I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom.

Well, it is, quite literally my job. I work in the sports medicine field with a pediatric practice. Most days I'm teaching kids how to do weightlifting! I love my job SO HARD. I am so proud to be helping to train the next generation of athletes with disabilities.

Squats do not embiggen the booty without also embiggening the legs, I have found from personal experience. HOW ARE NICKI'S LEGS SO SMALL

My ass and I deadlifted today — AND TAUGHT A TEENAGER HOW TO DEADLIFT, TOO!

My butt comes close to this level of buttness, but it is the existence of that level of buttness with small legs that is what makes me suspicious. My butt is serious, but the legs are very, very serious as well, and are in proportion to one another (because genetics and the fact that I'm a very athletic person who…

That ad is just a very beautifully photographed beautiful person. I don't really find it very controversial, but I do find it very appealing. However, I suspect that creating a photograph of such quality would be a lot more difficult to do, and harder to describe to marketing people.
