it’s so true - I don’t think they spent much time on female reproductive organs in my Texas health classes, sadly :o But women (myself included) should be more knowledgable, so the “you’re doomed if you don’t have kids by 30” articles become obsolete

From what I can tell from my eleventy-billion ultrasounds (infertility sucks), and what the doctor slash nurses slash ultrasound techs have told me, they usually take turns, but it’s not necessarily set in stone. Both ovaries will develop the follicles, but only one (maybe two) becomes The Egg™ that ovulates.

So much bad biology here (I understand that a science lesson was not the goal here, but still). As a reproductive biologist let me just say quickly that ovaries absolutely do not regenerate from nothing. More probable is that doctors only removed the cyst before and left the ovary intact, or they took a large piece of…

That thing about assured infertility after you’re 30 is BUNKO. It may start to decrease, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get pregnant quickly.

Novice genealogist here. Check findagrave.com to see if the cemetery and maybe it’s interments are listed. There's so many squirreled-away old small family cemeteries around my current location and there's a huge effort to get them all accounted for.

At the funeral of a co-worker who died young (19 years old) from a hole in his heart, the evangelical pastor kept prattling on about how it was Gods will and he’s now in a better place and all that stuff. The kid was raised in a strict evangelical Christian home, but later developed his own sense of identity when it…

1995, actually, if you look at the music coming out. And I loooooove it.

Oh yeah, I have this problem, too. Usually the disorder manifests itself in my fashion and dietary choices. Wait, combat boots and dresses aren’t appropriate everyday wear anymore?! Now I gain weight if I eat the entire pizza in one sitting?! Man, screw a bunch of this 36 year old nonsense.

I just realized that Michelle Obama will no longer be our First Lady in 2016, and that I am going to miss her more than Barack Obama. I wonder if she would consider running at some point? I would vote for her in a heartbeat.

I would be happy to spend all my days on the internet writing positive things about Michelle to make up for the racists.

I’m sorry, do you mean D.A. Alex Cabot left her husband for Sgt. Olivia Benson???

Managers who don't stand up for their employees are THE WORST.

“What they describe as infringement on their rights is actually just functioning secularism”

That’s a fair point. American christians do not understand what real persecution looks like because they’ve been the powerful majority the whole time. What they describe as infringement on their rights is actually just functioning secularism, but they do not seem to understand secularism as a concept either.

If you had to choose a time not to be a dick, I would say directly after your girlfriend has shit her pants is a good one.

That makes me really sad. Poor little kid, feeling like he needed to apologize for being ill at only 8 years old.

You have to be a seriously coldblooded woman not to help, because maaaaaan, we’ve ALL been there...! It’s an instant sympathy trigger, even towards a stranger whom you don’t like the looks of. Plus, there’s karma to think of, because if you haven’t been in that predicament yet, you’ll certainly be in it some day. I…

I am still SO GLAD that my brain waited until I was home and not driving before having a seizure, I cannot even tell you. That was the highlight.

Serves her right!

Serves her right.
