Yeah I suppose it is possible that the woman in question had other business in the US that required her to take this risk. It’s also possible that I could win the next Powerball, but neither is very likely ;-). I also think there is a difference between jumping on a flight from Washington to Miami 36 weeks pregnant…

Yeah I live and work in the hub of Asian birth tourism and that’s absolutely what was happening here. I respect that the reporting is trying to respect the privacy of the mom and baby, but there is absolutely no mention of that baby being quite premature or the Doc mentioning that there were any complications or…

Exactly - I remember a biology text book years ago where we received a page paste-over where we got a new page 76 to slide over the existing page 76 to correct a mistake (there was a mistake in a complex diagram). Considering this is just a caption, they could easily send out a paste-over for the little “balloon” in…

Yeah - I have seen some smart people who are sort of just unaware of the misdirection and manipulative nature of the food industry. I often say “It’s an industry first... they care about making money. Nutrition is a secondary consideration, if it is a consideration at all.” I will admit to buying in to the idea that…

... and seeing the photos, if they really wanted to, they could easily make the costume less revealing (though I don’t find it all that revealing). Make it a purple leotard instead of the crop top and make the skirt a little longer... good to go. Heck I’m not even creative or crafty and I could make that happen. It’s…

Why go to the…

Years ago a friend of mine mentioned in passing that she was at a baseball stadium watching game and they were filming a movie with Julia Roberts. She commented “I would look like Julia Roberts if I had someone following me around with make-up, hair styling, and lighting all day.” We all are on board with the idea…

I haven’t read any of the article or responses: My guess... horrible photoshop for some reason. Off to read.

I am an old - so I will never be Facebook stalked for my looks and as a possible date. That said, I’m also a married, and we have been together a long time, and I can’t think I would even care. Seriously, if 4 years into my relationship my Hubs sat me down and said “I have to tell you something...” ... and it turned…

I grew up in the midwest, firmly middle class, in a small-mid-sized town. We called all of our teachers Mr/Mrs. LastName. We called all of our friends’ parents Mr./Mrs. LastName. People that were my parents’ friends...absolutely were Mr./Mrs. LastName. Until you were invited to call them something else. I felt weird…
