I’m a lapsed Catholic so the “signs from heaven” thing always gives me the eyeballs, but several years ago at a concert, it came close. We were doing several choral pieces for Christmas, including the Magnificat, when some guy from the cathedral’s homeless shelter wandered into the church, looking for a seat. The…

That’s especially weird considering she has a white grandmother. If people had been successful in shaming Barack Sr. and Ann Dunham from kissing, we wouldn’t have had a President Obama or a Malia.

Given that I’ve seen “baby bump!” rumors start over photos where it looked like the woman had merely exhaled. . .

This is the NASA list, but I think Lifehacker actually had an easier article to read. Keep in mind these were tested in experimental chambers! Also, no joke, I contacted NOAA once and they answered me back with a personal email. Very nice folks. One more thing, remember to ask your vet which plants are safe for your…

There’s a Ted talk about this - I use it for teaching purposes but it’s very informative:

This is Molly. She lets me hang with her when I house-sit in Cobble Hill.
She’s the nicest dog in the whole world; unless you are another dog, then she will end you.

That sounds like knife catching

I’m really just waiting for Saudi Arabia to come out as gay.

“Without religion, good people will do good things and evil people will do evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”

In regards to the Toby Keith show were women not allowed or were they spared?

I think preferably NOBODY would be allowed to attend a Nelly concert.

Good for her. Sounds like you’re raising a solid kid despite their inability to “correct” her.

HAHAHAHA. Yeah man. Sue for visitation. That’s awesome. I hope you added another year for that.

She told us that she hasn’t enjoyed going over there for years because of Fox News and all the shit they say. Now, they’re freaking the fuck out because it’s about to be Christmas # 2 with no contact. We told them we’d re-visit the ban after 6 months but the dumbasses keep posting shit on Facebook. Whenever they reach…

The problem, though, is not just that people older than 26 have to pay out of pocket, but that we’re told by doctors that it isn’t medically effective for someone our age. I was 27 when the vaccine came out and was told by my gynecologist it would have no effect on me, never mind the fact that I was a virgin at the…

Over-treatment is indeed a big issue. However my (lay) understanding is that “over-treatment” doesn’t really exist in the context of “vaccination”, barring a strong contra-indication.

Still mad I don’t have this. Still mad that at the time this became a thing we talked about when I was 12 was still so poorly understood that my parents made the decision for me that I wasn’t getting it. Still mad that my pediatrician didn’t push harder. Still mad that no gynecologist ever brought it up again until…

Wow, what a great example of how royally fucked up our medical system is... a random combination of “that’s just the age range they studied”, “insurance won’t cover it”, and “you’ll need an extra booster” gets mistranslated as “you can and should only get the vaccine if you’re 26 or younger.”

I feel your pain, letter writer, I got them at the same age, had no idea what was happening to my butt, and walked around for weeks believing that I had tumors growing down there and that I was going to drop dead of ass cancer soon. still didn’t go to the doctor because at that point I had already accepted my fate.…
