I feel like a lot of you are not medical. Let me explain the facts here, before we start de-valuing our cause by making ridiculous accusations.

As a physician who treats strokes and TIAs it is very easy for the general public to wag their finger at the medical establishment. First of all, she obviously was taken seriously as she was put through a workup for stroke. So whoever wrote that this is "clearly negligence" obviously does not know how to prove medical…

Exactly. A real animal sanctuary seriously limits the time that even the most experienced staff spend with these wild animals. They are NOT pets, and they are certainly not photo props.

That is horrible and idiotic. I'm so wary of animal 'sanctuaries' that do things like this. The people who patronize these places just assume everything is safe because it's called a sanctuary. I know of places like these where the people working with the animals have no experience or expertise with the animals at…

This made me guffaw, loudly, and startle my dog. Wonderful!

This reminds me of how mad I got when I first experienced the toll roads of the Northeast. We don't have them where I grew up and I didn't know they even existed/felt very victimized and weird. Not to mention the panic after you drive through the turnstile and there is that 200 meter no-lane free for all! I got over…

Wow. If he was my dad, I would have gotten married somewhere in Alberta, too.

I am snorting through my nose with laughter at this story. I sound disgusting, in fact. I especially love "Some people can hold a grudge like it's their job." In my family, we call those people relatives...Uncle Joe, is that you?

And you know, that's why I don't get all the judgement. I'm not a superstitious person but, I like to think of myself of capable of —- mercy? grace? I don't really know the word for it. Empathy? These comments leave me reeling. They almost make me feel like it brings bad luck (I know it doesn't, truly, I'm not that…

but the end result was that he decided to boycott THE ENTIRE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA

Made from wild cereals, cloudwater, and artisanal yeast cultures, the bread is then lightly toasted on the hot stones of the Halema'uma'u Crater.

This needs a bump. If, as this article states, there is no outbreak of BSE in cows (which would legit be terrifying in the US), then this is just a recall due to procedural precedent, and no real need to worry exists.

but happy note, prions cant be cooked off. :(

Right? How do people get through family events/holidays without the glass of wine? My family is pretty conservative, and they certainly are not doing shots and getting trashed but I can't imagine telling them it was inappropriate to have wine in front of kids.

Yeah, I've seen articles online though that say that even ONE DRINK will make your kids into raging alcoholics. I don't get it.

We almost always serve beer and/or wine at family get-togethers. There are kids from toddler age to high school there. Never seemed strange to me. How are you supposed to model responsible drinking if you treat it like something to keep hidden?

There's a bit of a debate: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/when-you-…. I've met people who have said they'd "never" drink in front of a child. I just nod and smile and feel badly for that kid.

God people are such assholes. As so many others have said in this post, COMMON. SENSE. Get some.

But more importantly, her self-indulgence is displayed because she KNEW it was illegal!. Like a texter, or someone who does a u-turn when she thinks no one is watching, she knew it was illegal (even if she didn't agree with the law) and did it anyway and then is upset because the law was implemented? I don't…

I read her essay and found it captivating. I left my son in the car once while running into get coffee. I could see him and it took maybe 5 minutes. I told my parents about it and they were in a tizzy—not because something could have happened to him but because someone could have seen and confronted me it called the…
