I don’t get Jennifer Weiner’s point at all. Pretty much everyone is hotter now than they would have been at the same age in earlier decades. My mom, at 67, looks better than Blanche did. We wear sunscreen now, and don’t settle for old lady hair cuts at 45 anymore.

What I’m taking from this is that you, Tracy, are doing a much better job of cultural commentary than Jennifer Weiner is doing. I’m 54. I’m ambivalent about my own place in the hierarchy of sexual objectification, because while I absolutely understand, and feel, the deep problems of objectifying women’s bodies, and…

I’m confused: a big part of JLo’s job is to be incredibly hot. Her body is exceptional because she works incredibly hard to make it so—-it’s not impossible, just very hard. People do very hard things all the time when they have incentives to do so. I mean, folks are aware that she is a professional performer and…

Different case. This guy had toe nail and fungus issues, no holes or splinters.

Commenter above (TamTams?) noted that they mentioned a few factors about the patient: he has had a number of brain hemmorhages due to being a hemophiliac, this lead to issues with cognitive abilities and when his mother died five years ago it seems to have hit him pretty hard. Also, being a hemophiliac I would guess…

Everybody has their own sensitivities, I’m not bothered by that kind of stuff at all, but I would hork my guts out if I had to clean someone’s teeth.

I read about a podiatrist that one day a week offered free care to homeless people. He and his nurse went out to skid row to find the people most in need. Truly saints amongst people, but omg.

Fixing neglected feet is one of the most satisfying nursing tasks, ime. It’s a small thing in the grand scheme of healthcare, but the effects are immediate and afterwards the patient has functional/pain-free feet and they feel better. It's totally rewarding despite the occasional ick factor. 

I feel like this guy might have had some self-help issues: between his eyes, the hemophilia, and little snippets of his personality I see, I think he was very aware of the seriousness of the issue, but unable to do anything about it himself.

That’s what I was thinking. If anything, you’ve got people who know they aren’t alone in with their foot problems and that they don’t have to suffer. I can’t know how many people have seen a doctor after watching a show like this but frankly even if it’s only one person, that was worth it. 

Well I guess I don’t need these eyes anymore.

My mother and I share many traits (not all of them good), but one of them is an aversion to feet. She was a respiratory therapist for 35 years before retiring, I was in the radiology field before changing careers to IT project management.

If your skin problem requires a dremel, you may need to see the doctor more often.

Oooor, someone who has their feet in a similar state because they’re afraid of the doctors can be shown this and see that it’s not that scary after all.

“Darling,  Did your human heart fail today?  I heard on the media broadcast that your heart may have ceased to function as you were at the medical facility.  I, a human woman from Earth, would be very sad if you ceased to function”

I don’t want him to keel over and die. I want him to live through the shame of an impeachment and be exposed for the fraudulent idiot that he is. Lock him up!

aw man so normal for your wife to not know if you had a heart attack or not and ask you about it after the fact. So chill and relatable and totally how a normal human beings would act/def happened. Like jesus christ he can’t even lie well

Historic times. Hey...G/O Media...you people should totally start a politics blog that could cover all this stuff as it happens. Man, that would be great, ya know?

Ahem. The judge was not down with the clown.

@applebrown-betty: You know, I'm cool with some women wanting to be totally bare down there. But when you talk about it as a cleanliness issue, that gets my back up. Pubic hair is not inherantly dirty. You may not mean it to sound judgy when you say that, but it does, and I guarantee I'm not the only woman who doesn't…
