They shouldn’t be covered by the ACA then. There has to be a firewall between any public health funding/infrastructure and religious institutions who pretend to practice and feign the appearance of practicing medicine. Innocent citizens are suffering and being put in grave danger over policies that are not based in…

Agreed. One of the teachers I used to work with had four teenage sons and when they added them to their phone plans, he went to the store and had an employee show him how to basically track everything they did on their phones-so he can access their phone calls, text, browsing history, and which apps they’ve…

This one, from the original piece at the New Yorker, is almost unbelievable:

I mean let’s just be real. It’s not the nudity they have a problem with, it’s the fact that it’s a lesbian sex scene and not a hetero one. If it was either one of those women with a man there wouldn’t be any problem.

Incredible! Im swedish, live in sweden, and eating Kalles more or less every day (I eat the version with is part Kalles Kaviar and part cream cheese) on egg-sandwiches. I even bring the stuff with me when I travel (I hope customs Sri Lanka will let me in later this spring).

Maternity pants (jeans in particular) are the absolute best. I don’t understand why we don’t wear these suckers all the time. I had my daughter 2 and a half years ago and couldn’t handle the trauma of finding pants that fit my new “mom bod.” I rock a ton of dresses now.

I have a longstanding rule that any guy that wears glasses with white rims is a dickbag. The snowboarding video further supports said rule.

my son is 14. I bawled at his middle school graduation. I cried on his first day of high school. I am dreading high school graduation; God knows what I’ll do.

I use the DGAF strategy. I don’t go into a mall. I don’t give a... about no Jimmy Choo’s. I do not buy them. I have a hard time understanding the other perspective, but I’m sure they also have a hard time understanding mine.

John Adams, one of our country’s greatest statesmen, was reviled by some for defending the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre. Everyone has the right to a legal defense, and I wouldn’t want to live in a place where that wasn’t the case.

That’s a defender’s job. That’s a noble calling. I mean he gave us the Kardashian’s and all, so I’m not putting him up for sainthood and he married Kris, like how messed up was he. However we need people to defend the innocent, the guilty and the we don’t know, other wise what is the point of law?

Ooooof. I’m not judging anyone’s hobby (I spend an alarming amount of time watching reruns of shows I’ve seen 3000000x) but the whole “watching other people play video games” thing is like the ULTIMATE TURN OFF.

Well, no, not at all. If that’s what your take-away was, then step back and read my post again.

All I’ve been able to come up with after lots of don’t wash your hair articles is to go with what works for your hair. I usually go 2 days. Others can do more. I think it’s easier to hide with really dark hair like Kim’s.

Cannot star this enough times.

Preach it! The medical community has so much to learn from the fantastic safety work of the airline industry.

god yes, I routinely had over 40 patients on noc shifts, often several only 24 or 36 hours post op, on antibiotic drips, respiratory issues, decubitus ulcers, dementia, dementia with psychosis. Most nights it was all I could do to get meds passed and charting done.
