I just started med school a week ago, and really am interested in how it will come up (or not) in my classes.

I am addicted to coloured pens. Felt-tip, especially. Sharpie has three new colours? I will buy the 24-pack to get them. I'm starting med school in a week and one of the suggestions was something like "buy some coloured pens. Four colours should be enough". AMATEURS!

If I recall, daenerys does have some same-sex attraction stuff going on in at least one of the books. ADWD?

If Jezebel had a Canadian writer I would hope there would be an article on missing First Nation women. I'm about to move down south to go to med school in Vancouver, and I've been up in the territories for a while and wonder how different artitudes of the public will be.

Wow, strange world! I am canadian, though. :) Bet you aren't.

I graduated from a bc high school too. I wasn't allowed to go at first because my parents didn't allow me to. Instead, sex ed for me went like this:

I think you are right. I used to be a bc queer teen, and am moving back to bc in a few days to start med school. This study is really, really interesting to me!

that's what I was thinking! Also, I'm starting med school in 18 days (!) and so yes, there is a heightened risk that I may, at some point in the future, be exposed to this or some other crazy stuff. Not to mention be covered in MRSA.

I'm not going to lambast you, but yes, you are being insensitive. Go read about the heartache of infertility, or talk to someone like the gay couple I was an egg donor for. They were kicked out of doing surrogacy in Thailand because they are a same sex couple. Of COURSE they have to find someone to carry for them,…

where? I'm an egg donor, I had to have a bunch of health history checks but none of my intended parents had to do background checks.

Wait. This is really part of the site? This isn't just something from the onion or something? This is real? And how would it be a "death sentence"?

I don't know about that theory. There are a lot of disorders that are difficult to diagnose and endometriosis is one if them. I'm pretty sure it has to do with awareness and acceptance by the medical community that it is an actual thing that exists. In other words, I suspect that it was always this prevalent, it's…

I read "good samari-bear" as good samurai bear.

wow, the first two paragraphs you wrote, that's me too. People have told me all sorts of things- infidelity, drugs, abortions, and these are near-strangers to me. It's really something.

in 1986 I was 6 years old, and ABCs Wide World of Sports showed Western States. I said to my dad "I'm going to do that when I grow up"- almost thirty years later, my dad has done over a hundred ultras, I've done 25. He's done about 6 ironman, I've done one. I've done about 20 adventure races up to 6 days long.

Hey guys, it's not a sperm bank. it's a fertility clinic.

my nieces LOVE watching mermaid tail videos on YouTube. They are 3 and 5. Notable exchange recently:

what is a "Canadian compliant donor"? I'm a Canadian egg donor, that's why I'm curious about what you mean.

I was almost an egg donor for a Asian-Asian gay couple. It was really just about who was available and their qualities. Glad to hear it worked out for your friends!

I'm ashamed too, as a Canadian egg donor.
