Sorry. A perfume ban is ridiculous and it's the sort of thing I was glad to learn before I drove up there and got turned away because I, like many people, enjoy perfume. Btw, I'm allergic to it, too. Like my cats. And trees.

I've written exactly two Yelp reviews. One was for a restaurant in Santa Fe I never patronized. I'd heard it was fabulous, but then read that they banned patrons who wear perfume. Perfume has been and will always be one of my splurges and I don't leave home without a little Guerlain, Cartier or Molyneux. I called…

Most excellent, Grandad.

I fully support an easier avenue for compassionate use. It makes more sense than blowing up or circumventing the clinical trials process. When my mother was exploring compassionate use, it was disturbing to me that my Big Pharma brother, rather than my mother's oncologist, had more influence. If we make compassionate…

Whew. Thank you.

If you stopped having sex with him and he just didn't understand why, it was the same man.

I had a doctor experiment on me. And I was one of her hospital attorneys. She almost killed me and another patient and left us both mangled. There was no legal route open because of sovereign immunity. All I wanted to do was not die like my mother. The FDA is screwed up, but it's not a good thing to leave this in…

Was that a poke at my mother who died from breast cancer as I posted above? I sincerely hope not.

She's in a trial (do you know what phase?), which is the safe way to do it. What this proposes is that people who are not in trials have open access to drugs that could kill them before their disease does.

I think it's insane. I say that as a someone who had breast cancer and whose mother died from it. People die in Phase I and II trials and they are severely limited for that reason. My mother was also literally a poster child for a certain drug as she was one of the first patients to go into what passes for remission…

It appears that my ex-husband was secretly David O. Russell.

I was in charge of it for 12 years at a rather large uni. This is mind-boggling. And why is sexual assault cherry-picked out of the Beverly Clery Act? It's not the only crime that has required reporting under the Act. Interesting, no?

Oligarchy. It's what's for Republican dinner. With a side of theocracy.

I didn't watch because I would have punched the screen.

I can't dry-age beef at home, so an excellent prime steak frites is a treat.

Congratulations! I adore Kitchenette so much. Excellent work.

This isn't mocking other kids. That would be bullying. This is intentional blasphemy and a wicked sense of humor.

I hope they don't grow out of it. Blasphemy is a hallmark of an enlightened civilization.

Mine had abortions.* Using this and those little plastic things that contain prizes from gumball machines. Ken would get Barbie pregnant and she'd have to have an abortion. I didn't even know how sex worked. My best friend had two older sisters, and it was her idea. I swear.
