I was there and it had the opposite effect on me. I completely stopped giving a shit about them. Even played a game of capture the flag in a park in Rockville during the swarm. Annoying little bastards are not going to stop me from playing stupid games.

While I am not interested in weird ass liquid diets for "health" reasons, this makes me want to try this leek soup deal. I still have flashbacks to writing my thesis. Think this will make me retroactively forget it?

I know! That was one of the dumbest things anyone has said in the comments to this article and there are people here saying lots of dumb things.

I have the same nightmares. I'[m terrified of something happening to him. Sometimes he dies, or is horribly injured or in a comma, or is arrested for a murder he didn't commit and I never see him again. I hate those dreams. It's terrible, but I find myself thinking that I hope I die first.

As someone who was diagnosed with marfan syndrome at age 27 (two years before my theoretical expiration date), I want to say that it's always better to know. That said, I'm not convinced that this test is that useful.

I am horribly allergic to mosquito bites. I live in Washington DC, which basically means that I spend half the year fearing death by minuscule insect.

My dog was rescued from a puppy mill where she had been used as a breeding dog. Her name is Claudia and she is a Shih Tzu. When they found her she was living in a wire cage with no solid bottom. The wire was constantly cutting into her feet. Her fur has grown so long that it had tangled her back legs so that she…

I vaguely remember from the comics that they reported him as a foundling and were allowed to keep him when not one else claimed him, but it's been a long ass time so I'm not sure.

Uh, yeah. I have Marfan syndrome. I have had larger women who know that say things like "But at least you're thin" or "I wish I had your body." No you fucking don't!

When the Kents legally adopted him as an infant the adoption would have conveyed US citizenship.

I've taken to just standing right in front of them and staring until they offer me their seat (I have a genetic joint disorder). If they don't offer the seat in time I'll just fall on them since I'm actually incapable of standing upright on a moving metro sometimes. It's never come to that; they always move.

I live in DC and have the same experience, not with pregnancy, but with injury. I have a genetic disorder that weakens my joints, so I'm frequently in some kind of brace. Men in DC (except for the young guys, who tend to be more decent) just don't get up out of the damn reserved seats even when you're visibly…

I had it and it corrected my vision to perfect and years later it's still perfect. The actual procedure was five minutes of sheer terror, though. It was like staring into the burning eye of Sauron.

The people who don't put the attachments back on the pulley machine! Seriously, they weigh like .25 of a pound and you can put them back on their hangers, asshole? I keep finding them scattered all over the floor.

They don't have to wear them all the time, but many will wear it for 12 hours or so. If the wearer has gone really extreme, then it may need to be worn more often, since the loss of core musculature makes it hard to hold the body upright without it.

You don't even need to wear a corset while your body is developing; a fully formed adult can do it. You just need the right kind of corset. It's SUPER bad for you and one of the reasons it can create such a tiny waist is because the corset prevents you from engaging your core muscles which causes them to atrophy.

Yeah, I'm with you. It looks like the result of waist training, which people apparently still do, judging by how easy it is to get corsets meant for that purpose.

What are you whining about? Men and women can have their chests bare. Men and women must cover their junk. Equality!

I second Elf and Nyx. Elf can be a little hit or miss, but a few of their things are amazing and even better when they have their 50% off sales. I've liked everything I've tried from Nyx, especially their photo-loving primer, which is the only thing that can keep my skin from getting greasy.

I know, I'm Croatian.
