Maybe the doctor said it correctly and the writer at Entertainment Weekly wrote it wrong and the editor didn't catch it?

Where are you finding "executive at the office" plus size clothes? Because I'm a fat lawyer and I want to find some of those! And not suits with random zippered pockets. Just normal suits, skirts, dresses in nice plain, professional colors. As for stylish, appropriate clothes for teaching high school, Lane Bryant…

Yes, but I think the difference is between smiling with non-"squinched" eyes and smiling with "squinched" eyes. The latter seems more of a genuine smile versus a forced smile.

I'm not sure it's entirely that the division of housework is imbalanced (in that women do more of it than men) as it is that the stress of doing housework is imbalanced (in that women stress out about a sink full of dishes and crumbs all over the rugs more than men do). The division of labor in my house is pretty…

Technically, condoms are not a secondary method for abstinence. You cannot, by definition, use a condom while engaging in sex at the same time that you are abstinent. On the other hand, the pill and condoms can count as the two forms because you can be on the pill and also use a condom.

It's not a perfect solution by any means, but it appears to be the only way to fix the problem if you don't have your old iOS device handy. It's either that, or wait 45 days for iMessage to reset itself.

But people who are fat do deserve love and do deserve to be accepted as they are. Does that mean that fat people shouldn't try to lose weight if their weight is causing health problems for them? Of course not. But you don't suddenly become more loveable by losing weight or become less loveable by gaining it. Also,…

The cost depends on the area where you live and also on whether you are going for a home-based daycare, a daycare center, or a nanny. In-home daycare is usually cheaper than a daycare center and a center is usually cheaper than a nanny. We paid $200/week for the infant room in a daycare center and are down to $175…

It's Okay to Not Know Your Major

Donate to smaller, local organizations. They will probably send you follow-up information once a year or call you once or twice, but their donor base is not as large, and they usually won't have the resources to hound you quarterly or monthly, and they will be more responsive to requests not to call or send mail…

My allowance was so low (I think in the $1-2.50/week range) that I just stopped asking for the money. My parents bought me and my brother all the stuff we actually needed like clothes and whatnot, and by the time I was old enough to go out with friends or anything they would usually just give me money for that. It's…

Yup, that video almost makes me want to try to get a baby girl just to see my father-in-law's face if he finally got a granddaughter (he has three grandsons). He's oddly the only grandparent on all sides to push for a granddaughter.

I'm not a huge Oprah fan because I think she gets a little too supportive of some whackadoos on her show (Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Jenny McCarthy). But I do think she is a genuinely good person and clearly a very talented and successful businesswoman. So it's things like this that make me want to pretend I'm Oprah's…

And that's why I've decided to take up running now, in my 30s, and wait it out. I'm slow as hell. And I don't think it's reasonable to expect I'll get fast enough to be competitive even in local races in the next few years. But if running helps me be healthy and I can keep running in my 60s, 70s, and 80s,…

I think the "messy desk/creativity" thing is an example of correlation, not causation. A person who is not very creative will not necessarily become more creative by having a messy desk. Possibly if they are too tightly focused on structure or routines then loosening that focus will result in both a messier desk and…

So it would be kind of a public version of the "How's my driving? Call 1-800-555-5555" on the back of delivery trucks and company-owned vehicles. Other than the fact that I can so easily imagine someone getting in an accident while they try to use the app to report someone else, I like it.

I've always tended to park as close as I could get to a cart corral just for ease of finding my car, but once I had a kid, I really made it a habit. So much easier to just grab a cart there, and also much easier and less scary to return the cart to the corral if it's next to your car or just a space or two away than…

It's not that you can't push the cart back to the corral because you have children. It's that you appreciate the proximity of carts so you can get your kid out of the car and put them straight into the cart without any carrying or dragging or walking at the speed of molasses in the dead of winter.

I would disagree. There is too much nuance and creativity involved in many areas of the law to be able to completely automate even the drafting of anything but the most routine documents. Then there are the social skills involved in things like advising clients, negotiating settlements or mediating disputes,…

Ultimately, in that type of situation, you have to figure out whether the particular job is worth the stress or not. If it's not, then start looking to move on. If it is, then some possibilities would include:
