Again, Philly don’t play. Cat’s or not

Yeah, I had no idea there were parts of the world that didn’t have panzerotti (“The original”). I mean I’ve lived in other places but I never noticed I guess.

This is an excellent point. I live in a very diverse state that has some of the most progressive laws in the nation. It hasn’t been really a battleground at national level for maybe 40 years. The same is true for my congressional district and state legislative district. It often feels like I am a by stander to…

Um... I wasn’t calling anyone elite. I was indicating that I didn’t know the phrase et al. until I was constantly reading journal articles. And really not until I had to write my own literature cited and format them for different journals (some insist you use et al. for more than two authors, some insist for more than…

If it makes you feel like you were right to want it in:

I feel like only people who spend a lot of time reading or writing primary research (e.g. me, possibly you, et al.) know this just off the cuff. In the previous sentence the bolded comma is an example of why Oxford commas matter. 

The simple fact that you said HSV1 implying she could transmit oral facial herpes via making out, means you don’t know what you are talking about. It’s been years since oral-facial herpes were HSV1 and genital herpes were HSV2 and it is not how they are classified by physicians and the post above actually states this.

I can’t decide if it’s just inattention in general or that combined with the fact that he is not circumcised, which I think adds to the “coming out in unexpected directions” problem.

Inferring someone’s parenting style based on calling their kid buddy is taking things a bit far.

I don’t know but I have the same trouble with Adderall and CVS. They won’t tell you if the store has it, you can’t call to find out if you drive to some store if it will be in stock. It’s annoying enough to fill because of the 30 day window, that if you start off a few days behind and then fail to fill it for several…

That is definitely all true, though I’m sure in the case of many large pharmacies some of that is done via computers (though not necessarily reading a script, though the only Rx I get filled via paper script—because my psychiatrist hasn’t paid to be able to send controlled substances electronically— is printed via…

so sorry for you husband! and for your loss.

Yes, this story is exactly what I thought of when I read this report.

I mean my husband is only HALF hispanic (Puerto Rican at that, so the freckles are probably from both the Irish half and the PR half)... and his last name is from his Puerto Rican side. But it doesn’t get interpreted as hispanic. At the very most his old Italian patients think he’s Italian because it ends in a vowel.

Exactly. The reason the root is the only place I make sure I check out every day is two fold: 1. It’s good to experience a place where you are not the target audience, you are not the majority, you maybe aren’t even wanted and people definitely don’t care what you think. 2. I have never heard from my black friends t…

I decided to watch this meeting. There were two things that upset all the minority members. One, just the bill itself.

I only lived in NH for a year in grad school while Jeanne Shaheen (best name to have to hear or say repeatedly) was governor.

I’ve had a lot of trouble getting services or even someone to accept that my kid has something different about him.
