This is pretty much my fear at 37. I can't take good birth control anymore, so I'm on the mini pill, which has an insanely high failure rate. I'm dating a guy who's nine years younger than I am, and not in position to be a father. I'm finishing up a degree, and working part time. We're using condoms, but those aren't…

Every time I see her, I do a Harry Potter and go, "She has nice skin." She's just so lovely!

I think it's the lighting. The picture from 1998 is a lot darker in general than the more recent one.

I thought she looked like Madonna in that shot, and not in a good way.

There were plenty of identifiers. The date of her induction, that she'd had a stillborn, the name of her doctor and hospital. If you have access to medical records, you can figure out who this woman is easily. Just because you can't doesn't mean that someone like a different medical professional with the right access…

She is just so danged pretty.

Except she did break HIPAA. Date, doctor's name, hospital, medical history, and medical condition. I could easily figure out who this woman is if I was so inclined.

Yea, cats know we possess opposable thumbs and can solve problems and open the tuna cans. Once the polydactyl cats figure out how to use their thumbs though, we're all doomed.

My father does this. It drives me bonkers. He's also extremely right wing, so maybe that's part of it.

Idaho Falls, among other places. Idaho produces the most potatoes in the country, so there are potatoes everywhere.

No, we have lots of potatoes. It's really not a myth. They grow, and we have lots of Mexican immigrants in farming communities because of it. It's even on our license plate ('Cause who doesn't want a license plate that says "Famous Potatoes").

The London brothers are kind of a mess, aren't they?

You're a miserable human being, aren't you?

Stating there's a correlation is not the same as saying there's causation. The researchers said more research was needed.

A lot of women are sensitive to spermicide. Trust me, y'all are not alone. I switched to condoms sans the stuff ages ago.

Anyone who thinks Beyonce and Britney are comparable doesn't know what she's talking about.

Or the rashy rash (this nurse's very technical term) that comes with Bactrim for many people, and then leads to a search to find another antibiotic that works on that strain of whichever STI we're trying to treat. Then there's the diarrhea many people get after a course of antibiotics, which is some folks turns in…

I really think part of it is the insistence on abstinence sex education. Back in my day, when the AIDS scare was at its height, we got full on sex ed. It only took one of those "shake hands to see who catches HIV" activities to scare all of us into using condoms for the rest of our lives. A lot of men I've run into…

Because you're being an idiot and putting other people's health at risk with your behavior. I'm a nurse. People like you make me very hostile because you're insisting doing something really stupid and trying to justify it by ignoring current research.

Until they aren't, and there will be strains that are untreatable soon. There are strains with only one antibiotic that can treat them, and they've already made themselves resistent to antibiotics in the same class. But by all means, continue to stick your head in the sand and think you don't need condoms because…
