I’ve had 1 removal which was very easy. Some discomfort rather than pain, and it was over soon. Then I got a new one placed... yowch.

I think I have told this before on this site, but my personal favorite was when watching Hocus Pocus with the fam, and i was maybe 6, they kept making such a big honkin’ deal about Max being a virgin that I finally had to ask “So what’s a virgin?”

I also see him as a tall, athletic muscular type. Styles is too slight for the look. Any of the actors who play Gaston in Disney World would be a better look for Eric.

Right? That was an extraordinarily odd choice.

Yeah, I mean in real life I’m sure that was a deeply unpleasant, even scary confrontation. But my imagined thought of someone yelling that insult at another is so very hilarious to me. “YOU ARE TOLERATED.” How matter-of-fact.

My mom (and I mean this was in the 80s so I’m sure some things are different) was told that the nurse couldn’t tell her ANYthing because of liability bs. She could only get information from her doctor or a family member. Kind of a traumatic time to have information withheld. You have my sympathy!

My mom had an emergency c-section with me and the epidural didn’t take, so general anesthesia was necessary. She said she woke up (with the spinal headache from the attempted epidural) and the nurse on duty wouldn’t tell her anything. She was convinced for hours that the baby hadn’t made it and that she was dying…

Thank you, but not nearly as fantastic as yours, which made me actually lol. And then say “who’re” 15 times.

Seth Green is the best! That story is great!

Seems like a good time to tell about when I met David Boreanaz. He was at a wedding I was at. I was working the wedding and had to sit in the front row during the ceremony. Angel was sitting in the pew directly behind me and could not stop giggling. Like, little schoolgirl nonstop giggle loop giggling. He also was…

Yeah, I dunno! I suspected that someone had put blue dish soap in it to evade drug detection but as I recall it worked just fine in the assays it was subjected to. It’s possible the patient ingested methylene blue. 

I worked for a couple years in a toxicology lab handling almost exclusively urine specimens. I kept a little catalog of all the rainbow-color urine I encountered. I got all your colors, and also once had a blue!

My experience in neuroendocrinology research groups has been that both males and females of otherwise identical cohorts are included at the outset of any large study. For experiments involving exogenous hormonal exposure (particularly estrogen, its precursers, and estrogen-like molecules), outcomes DO tend to be less…

I have had similar conversations with some of my male coworkers who have very young children. The biggest set of blinders I have seen is when both parents work, and they consider the option of one parent staying home. The dads couldn’t POSSIBLY stay home, it would totally derail their careers. Even the guys whose…

I have several with an overall nautical theme (ships and sharks). I am also glad I took my time getting them, as I’m quite certain I would regret everything I considered at 18 today. I would really like to do more with mine- I would especially like to add surroundings and detail to one on my side/ribcage. However, my…

A purge, wipe-down, and plastic containers worked in a jiffy for me. I did spot stragglers for a little while but I think that was just because of stray eggs continuing a little development. Since my issue with them, I have kept things like flour and cornstarch in the freezer or fridge which I think helps (if space…

Yes, Monster had voice, performance quality, and charisma all going for him. No complaints from me on his win and he probably had it in the bag since mid-season. Gladys deserved better than this though!

I thought Donny’s song choice was awful. It wasn’t exciting or exhilarating (at least not in this context), it didn’t highlight his singing whatsoever, and it was just a very thin performance. I didn’t even think the showmanship was particularly great. Gladys’ song choice let her be Gladys in all her glory with no…

Yeah, I’m not sure about laws in the US (possibly different by state) but I have always worked in places with policies against working alone. I would guess that Family Dollar has such a policy, but maybe they can get away with staffing a cashier and a stockperson. They wouldn’t be much help to each other in an…

On top of the pump break issues, I’m alarmed that she had to post a sign that she was ALONE in the store. Maybe there are some other people working who are not authorized to use the registers, but I would be absolutely terrified to work storefront completely alone and then have to advertise that fact.
