Not really - that's like expecting an MRI every year 'just in case'. Sure, it might pick something up in some people, but as a broader public health policy it's not helpful. If you have any specific concerns or you've had a previously abnormal result I'm sure you'd be able to have them done yearly.

That's so beautiful it's making me weepy

I'm a Melbournian (flat whites 4 lyf) but one thing I do miss is American iced coffee - just actual iced (over ice) coffee. In Australia if you order an iced coffee it's always an espresso shot, loads of milk and a dollop of ice cream. It's like a meal! Luckily the whole cold drip thing is catching on, particularly in…

In Australia ordering a flat white is pretty much just like ordering a coffee with milk. That simple. But in case you were wondering....

WHY IS THIS NOT CALLED FIFTY SHADES OF SLIEGH?????????????

Australians can be about as racist as people in....America, NZ, the UK. We just have slightly different issues. We don't have a history of slavery, but we do have many other problems. That might be some of Iggy's issue - I highly doubt any 16 year old from a Australia has a nuanced understanding of Black history, and…

I have friends like this - but then the other day I realised I am that person to one of my other friends! I think because we're really close and text/facebook fairly regularly, I just assume we'll catch up soo, but she's always the one actually making the plan. As LizLemon said above - you hae to look at it as a whole…

I work in a shop that sells twine made in china. I'm so stealing this idea. ANTHRO HACK

It's pretty nice, but the hallways are super dark. You could definitely get murdered in the hallways and someone might think you were part of the weird artwork they have stuck to the walls OH MY GOD THAT'S WHAT WAS HAPPENING

Also you have to get...to stockholm.

I listen to Triple J everyday and this is so cool - I had no idea! Whole new appreciation for listening to her read the news (and yes, she has an great soothing authoritative sounding newsreaders voice!)

I might not call a man who did this a bitch (unfortunately such a gendered insult), but I would probably call them a dickhead, and asshole or a prickly bastard. Just as much as you don't care for the little socially accepted actions that make up nice, a lot of people find they make interacting with the world around…

I would totally buy a Jens Lekman stamp. Lovely sunny weather here today, perfect for playing this song over and over again...

THIS is what I don't understand. Also (equally applies to both men and women) you don't need to make a croquembouche, but surely you can teach yourself (or ask a friend to show you) at least how to make pasta, roast something, cook chicken so you find the balance between food poisoningly raw and shoe treadingly…

Find a recipe website that lets users leave comments (so you'll know if more than one person though the recipe was awesome/useless) and just go with your heart man...follow your dreeeeeeeams!!! Do you like thai? Look up 'easy thai dinners'. Do you want to more veggies? Look up 'quick vegetarian dinners'. Buzzfeed is…

After I lost an ovary to a benign tumor at 19, my surgeon gave me very strict talking to about how I should maintain my health afterwards. Use vitamin e cream on the scar, stay up to date with my regular physicals, start making my own face masks out of oatmeal so that my face absorbs all that oatmeally goodness. One…

If you did not know that crushed beetles are used to colour many many things (especially many many pink and red things) then you my friend, are in for a bit of a shock. You been eatin' them bugs girl.

False. My cat has two names - same number of syllables as Captain Snazzypants. I use it in full all the time. It's actually lovely to say in sing song voice and I've been doing it all her life I don't notice. If you meant some one called Alexandria or Lisa Marie would you just on calling them Al or Lis because…

looooove this. probably gonna borrow for my tinder profile.
