I got married in Fall 2011, so in the same year as some famous Britishes. Canada Post had reams of Royal Wedding stamps, but I managed to find a tasteful, less conceited-seeming alternative.

It's like planning for the Spanish Inquisition!

What are your top brow products? I love Laura Mercier's Brow Definer, but I'm seeking options.

I had this exact experience with carrots. And on the plus side, organic carrots aren't that much more expensive, and they last forever.

DO THIS. Just imagine the pics you'd get with a "worst bridesmaid dress" post...

Child Services is now "investigating the mater"?

Your wife is wonderful.

Yeah- must be fun at weddings!

This is the correct facial expression to assume when just having torn someone's wedding dress.

"Weird names" isn't a white people thing, for sure, but there's a certain kind of uber-precious "Brixtyn/Jaysynn/Slaedynn" naming that REEKS of white suburbia.

This is absolutely it. Students ought to be getting some basic preparation in media awareness and vetting of sources. Without a finely tuned bullshit meter, the amount of misinformation that looks plausible on the surface is overwhelming.

That's a good point. It's also an indictment, I think, of the American healthcare model, which is so difficult to navigate, inaccessible, and costly for the end user that the desire for a workable alternative makes things like anti-vax, homeopathy, and online "research" much more attractive than trying to find a…

It's definitely a risk with highly treatable illnesses. An 85-90% cure rate still leaves that extremely unfortunate sliver who don't make it, so people should probably watch what they say, even if it's coming from a place of encouragement/relief that it's not something objectively worse. It must be awful to have a…

Thanks! Same to you- I actually had a PICC for the first year, then a port-o-cath for the remainder. But my port was glitchy- it would accept chemo, but they could never draw blood from it. So I still had to line up for a regular blood test before chemo every week. Fun!

Religion or no religion, parents like this should be charged with endangerment.

I meant that it is COMPARATIVELY easy. I hope that no one would ever say that having cancer, or needing to do chemo, is "good" or "easy" per se. It never is. But an 85% overall cure rate is stunningly high, and does not in any way imply a late stage cancer (not that systemic cancers like lymphomas are all that…
