Eh. My mom showed me Aliens when I was 8, and my parents watched I, Claudius with me when I was even younger, and only covered my eyes for the part where Caligula murders his pregnant sister.

Whoo! for pills that make it so I no longer have to deal with this shit. Science is awesome.

Marfan Syndrome is a genetic mutation on the fibrillin 1 gene. It does a lot of things, mainly, weakening the heart, lungs, and eyes, and causing bone overgrowth, thinning, or deformity. It also makes the connective tissue very elastic and the skin fragile.

Your wallet, apparently.

Ug, agreed. I have marfan syndrome and the doctor told me that second hand smoke could trigger a spontaneous pneumothorax, not to mention that there are a lot of people out there with asthma and similar problems. People who smoke carelessly are risking other people's lives.

Yes, this. No one should be coerced into letting someone else touch their genitals. I can't tolerate strangers touching me. It's bad enough that I've never even had a manicure because I don't want someone touching my hands. At this point, given the choice, I'd just go without BC than let them do the pelvic exam,…

Hm, a friend of mine was hurt when a woman wearing a head scarf that obscured her side vision changed lanes right into her car a couple of years ago... so depends on how they're wearing it?

Let me just say, I HATE cheesecake. I think it's disgusting and I'm baffled by its popularity.

Celery has negative calories. Yes, really. [www.snopes.com]

I'm... actually really sad about this. I loved those books as a kid and I still have a shelf full of them.

To prepare your baby for a future as a professional soccer ball, I guess.

It looks like there's a baby catching net.

Oh god no, I probably would have changed it by now if it was. It's "Tihana."

Lol, It's actually a really rare traditional south slavic name. I hated it when I was younger, because I was teased for it but came to love it as I matured. I've never met anyone else with the same name.

Bad idea. I'd be either Eowyn or Leia right now. Instead, I named my cat Leia.

Or you could just play Fallout 3.

Wait? That's it? I'm a women and I can do that. I can blow the swimming, running (or well, I could before the doctor told me to stop running so much), and sit up requirements away, manage the average pull ups, and just do the push ups.

Try planed parenthood. They'll usually just give you the pill without the pelvic exam.

I don't know about this. I can't speak for Asian groups, but my boyfriend is Greek, and his parents wanted him to marry a Greek woman. I'm a Croat (well, half, but I was raised by that part of my family) and his mother says that I'm "close enough."

Cats can learn all kinds of things by observation. Like how to turn lights on and off and flush the toilet, or as in the case of my aunt's Siamese, how to use the toilet and then flush it (wish my cats would learn THAT one).
