As Dorothy said, "lumpy" probably means fibrocystic. That means that you're more likely to develop cysts or fibroadenomas (a benign tumor), but not necessarily more likely to develop cancer—only, as this article indicates, less likely to catch it if it does develop. It's important for you to get used to how your…

The tiniest splatters of blood can be sprayed onto the area of the device just around the needle when the needle is inserted. Most devices like this can't be properly sterilized in an autoclave because of plastic parts, so although the needle is replaced other bits of the device can still carry those tiny traces of…

the definition would probably give many people in their early 20's a pause actually... not to say it's not a useful and true definition, but I think that so many of us are used to thinking of a certain amount of that behavior as normal for that time of life, and of "alcoholism" as meaning "can't go a couple of hours…

well they're just leaving room for the sequel. In the next installment, we'll see all the victims we thought were dead raise up to repopulate the earth.

agreed.

No actual bodies were harmed (used?) in the making of this photo.

I think that what makes it so hard sometimes is that endings can be so ambiguous. People stay in a complicated place for a while, or one partner may be leading the other on, and that make one of them feel like it's not quiiiiite over even when to the other partner it is and they're just doing those things out of habit…

I had the same thing happen to me, and have always wondered how the women involved in those new, way-too-soon relationships feel about it.

nope. That would've been fine (froyo isn't exactly a make-or-break for me), except that the guy spent 50–60 hours a week at trying to expand the froyo empire!! I just couldn't manage to connect with someone who could spend so much time doing something he didn't really believe in.

Thank you for point #3! I don't think that I'm overly interested in money, but I need my guy to be employed (or working damn hard to become so) and preferably doing something that he really believes in and gets joy out of. I just respect a guy more who has some goals and cares about what he does.

well, I was basically just glad that they didn't make a Hawaiian chick look like Cinderella, and Ariel, and every other (white) Disney Princess that's ever existed. So yeah, it's still a cartoon version of a person, but at least they based it on a more realistic person than previous tries.

I liked that her older sister had some hips too. Her figure was nice, but achievable and culturally/racially appropriate.

or they would say nothing and all their "lets hang out" type invitations would start being for hikes or bike rides or lunches at the farmers market

that could be a factor. Another one I thought of is that carrying excess weight tends to be tied to selfl-esteem, which could make one less forceful when it comes to negotiating salaries. Not saying that these negate the possibility of discrimination, but it's good to look at all contributing factors.

because the bullying behavior was all about the bully, not about their victim(s). The specific incidents and targets aren't the point, whatever the bully couldn't handle that was causing them to lash out was, from their point of view.

Koerner's are more thoughtfully shaped overall too I think. The state outlines seem more precise and it looks like she actually cared about the heart placement; by comparison UO's look clunky and rough around the edges.

ha, I think my hymen-switch was wired backwards. I read way more about sex as a virgin, because I was so curious!

In a way I'm glad to hear this happened to someone else... not glad that you had that experience, but glad that my first wasn't as weird as I've been thinking. He also would not believe that he was my first. I guess he expected me to be scared or timid or something, but everything I'd heard and read sold me on how…

side note: are those the most photoshopped pictures ever? They look almost like those old style paintings over photographs instead of actual photos.
