Hard to be fierce with bank teller hair.

We chose a pediatrician who insisted on vaccines for all patients. Newborns won’t have vaccinations for their first few visits. (The MMR was given at 2, 4, and 6 months when my kids were little). I didn’t want my too-young-to-be-vaccinated baby sitting in a waiting room with a 10 year old that could have mumps or…

There were 2 reasons I chose our pediatrician, and it was based on negative Yelp reviews.

The name is terrible. It might have been better to go with Privilege Awareness Month.

Me too with the periods getting worse as I age. Or maybe it was after I had my son but that happened around 30 (32 now) so who knows? Cramps, bloating, fatigue... just yuck.

When someone just won’t leave you alone, especially someone who has said inappropriate things previously (in this case, AT WORK), it’s legitimately threatening.
