Of course! (I grew up there so I have them shipped over - seriously!)

K. Going to the store now.

Bless your heart - I'll be right over with Cadbury's Creme Eggs and whiskey.

This thread is just the salve needed after reading the article - thank you both.

This is AWESOME, thanks. I eat a salad for lunch every day and it can boring fast, especially if you're too busy to do anything except make a mental note to change things up. I already have many of the ingredients here but just hadn't considered them - looking forward to a better lunch today!

NO!!! That ruined my day, and it hasn't even started (West Coast [is best coast]).

I think most of these people have some mental illness - the lack of empathy observed in many politicians (particularly the GOP) makes me pretty sure they would score high on a psychopathy test.

Attention whore.

Man, that is one big fucking head for the body size, even for a baby.

Just once, I'd like to see someone call them out right then and there on live TV.

+2. Also - the day-old "real" rice is infinitely better than the boxed stuff. So if you can, cook your own.

I truly feel for you. I'm a big advocate of insisting the Dr. listen to the patient here, and I will only go to a female gyno for this reason (I have nothing against male gynos - providing they have either (a) had periods or (b) given birth). My cramps got slightly better with age, but seriously, they absolutely…

I'm here now but grew up in the UK - this happened in the early 80s. The drug was paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine (I assume a very low dose), which was available by Rx (I think iot still is) and was a life-saver. I recall my parents begging the Dr. and she only agreed to it after the school nurse backed them…

They also wear wigs in the other Commonwealth countries, so that would be across many, many ponds.

Heather Watson had just won the NZ tournament last week, so this must be bloody disappointing for her (ha!). "A lot of painkillers specifically for [periods] are banned." I'm not sure what this is referring to, but I regularly passed out from the pain before my Dr. finally agreed I needed opiates. So - more power to…

I know some of the contributors read the comments, so if you are reading this Bill, a very big thank you for all that you do to promote science. xo

I have the Lasko pictured and it has been a fantastic investment. I live in Southern California (wait, wait) BUT my (small) house is ~ 100 years old, has 19 very large glass sash windows and is effing cold in the winter. First thing in the morning, the temp in my west-facing corner office is approx. the same as that…

I prefer to call it 'ladyparts'.

Yes, I think that's true. AFAIK, SSN is only acceptable for a sole prop.

I try to do this every January. Most people fully understand why you don't want to eat out/go out so often after the expense of the holidays. It's eye-opening how much "stuff" we buy that we really don't need.
