I'm not having kids cause I can't stand them and they cost more than buying a second house.

I drink way too much coffee to ever be able to hold it. Coffee empties me out like crazy and it takes multiple trips. And I will not stop drinking it. Not ever. I was thinking the other day that if anything else did to my body what coffee does I would not consume it, but you will take my coffee from my cold dead…

Booze is almost guaranteed to be a good gift. Unless the recipient is a mormon or something, then cookies. Booze or cookies.

When I read the headline, I snarked, "is there a way to infect the people I supervise?" but it actually sounds really awful :(

I can see where some people might find it offensive as it's rather disrespectful to her memory, but my reaction was mostly "they went THERE? Ok then."

Anticoagulant rat poisons are poisonous to pretty much all mammals and probably other vertebrates (not sure how different the clotting systems of other vertebrates are). I'm really wondering what exactly is being used here.

But keep in mind that amazing sparkly vampires never get acne!

I could never listen in class, I always just went home and read the material. There began a trend at some point in my education of teaching things that were not in the book as a way of forcing people to show up, and I really hated it. It was followed by the school recording our lectures for us, which helped, but I…

There was also something about "I'll open up my body now" which had to be the most cringe-inducing thing ever. I actually liked the Skyfall song, but I really like Adele.

I don't think it's the lack of realism that bugs people, more that the plot was kind of a mess and the villain was lame. I actually liked it quite a bit, but did find the plot muddled.

Oh come on, what about that Madonna song from whichever Pierce Brosnan movie that was?

Yeah, she ages faster until presumably she hits the point where she looks like a gorgeous 18 year old and then will stay that way forever.

One of my friends threw it across the room after a certain event and refused to read it anymore, so that's how she got stuck.

Scrubs in its early seasons was amazing at capturing exactly what it *feels* like to be learning how to practice medicine. Grey's Anatomy tried for that same thing too, and succeeded in maybe the first three episodes before going off the rails.

I'm a vet and I'm right there with you.

It's ok, I am too, along with my husband (convenient, that).

Awesome analysis. If I ever have to move to the South, I'll try to shoot for one of those counties then. It looks like Athens and Atlanta would be in there, but I can't quite tell.

Ok, so apparently my heel pain could mean I have gout or a herniated disc. But the odds of it being plantar fasciitis go up if I have an itchy scalp? Good thing I already self-diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy.

I actually really do have a massive soda addiction. I really tried switching to seltzer water (flavored and unflavored), but something's off about the taste. Plain seltzer water just tastes like carbon dioxide, and the flavored zero calorie stuff tastes weird in the same way diet tastes weird. I just try to keep soda…
