The difference between an embryo and a tumor is that an embryo (and any well-behaved somatic cell, really) knows when to stop growing, a tumor does not.

Our Greyhound will try pretty much anything we give him, but he's so concerned about being polite and good that if he doesn't like it, he will wag his tail and try to hide it under his paw so we think he ate it. Then he realizes that he can't move EVER AGAIN BECAUSE WE MIGHT SEE IT AND UNCOVER HIS RUSE AND THEN HE…

Not even nepotism can save this dress.

I work for a medical publishing company and had to edit a bunch of studies about this drug after it was approved. It's actually an extended-release version hydrocodone (the same narcotic in Vicodin), meaning that the drug is released into you body slowly, over time, which makes it different from Vicodin and many other…

The counterpoint here is that there are people with chronic illnesses (myself included) who desperately need options for dealing with pain. Obviously there is significant potential for abuse, but those who legitimately need painkillers need to be able to access them. We already jump through enormous hoops to get…

I love Shameless! I actually just read an article about how she gets upset because people think she is actually like her character. She looks stunning!

It's a free cookie-locator app. I'd prefer it was a free-cookie locator app. :/

I was surprised by how passive Slovakia was. It's like they haven't even heard of checks.

"STAMPEDE!"

I don't ever want to get married but if a guy did this with a swarm of dachshunds, I'd have a hard time saying no.

Roo McClanahan (yes...that's her name) is a rescue and while she doesn't have the motivation to compete at Westminster, she's "best in show" of my heart every night.

Shelter cats are the bomb too.

AW! How wonderful! We rescued our pup 12 hours before he was scheduled to be put down due to overcrowding. We had no idea he was in such a dire situation, we were just browsing dogs online and liked the cut of his jib. When we called to inquire about him were informed it was a life or death issue, so we had to act…

So many wiener dogs. I <3 winer dogs.

It should have said the Raccoon was euthanized and then tested for rabies. Thing about rabies test it requires a chunk of the brain.

That's what my migraine auras look like.

Ahhhhh that's amazing! Yeah mine isn't a swelling-throat-imminent-death kind of allergy, more like hives and 12 hrs of stomach cramps kind. This gives me hope!

I remember reading about this a year ago. The article below discusses a trial of oral immunotherapy to desensitize children with severe peanut allergies that precedes 2009.

Ooooooo could this work on shellfish allergies? Because living in Maine and not being able to eat lobster is some BULLSHIT. And since I didn't develop the allergy until 14, I know how good it is!
