But...aren't there other alternative reasons for these results? For example, the study used "naive" hikers, which I presume to mean are people that aren't normally hikers. Just exposure to a new experience might cause an increase in brain activity and higher order cognitive function. The 4-6 days of physical exertion…

I don't hate all food pictures. But I hate a lot of them. Especially when my cousin, who started eating healthy food and exercising and lost a bunch of weight but is also SUPER JUDGEY ABOUT IT Instaspams us all the pictures she takes of her food she made at home with captions like, "Whole wheat tortillas with blah…

I cannot stop watching Teddy videos. HE MAKES THE BEST NOISES EVER.

I haven't dated anyone in about a decade. I have not been particularly interested in dating anyone for pretty much that exact same amount of time. My last boyfriend was in high school. I am personally straight, and am frankly just a combination of uninterested and more focused on dealing with my own personal demons…

I love the bubbles too! They make water more interesting, and carbonation is at least 80% of the reason I drink soda. I've been thinking about getting one of those soda-maker things to make my own carbonated water and/or soda. A co-worker has one and at a dinner party I got to use it. It was the most excited I've been…

Those wet wipes are my favorite thing ever. I feel much cleaner afterwards. I sometimes even just use them to freshen up down there if like, second day no shower. Otherwise yeah, I never feel properly clean after pooping, even if I totally am.

Haha, love it. I'm so very glad I'm not the only person that's apparently at least somewhat incapable of doing this to myself.

This is...probably not exactly the right place. But in the spirit of openness about vaginas and that general region, I have to ask whether or not I am the only person that does the following: not wipe front to back after peeing. I mean, I wipe front to back when I've pooed. But apparently I was never taught wiping…

I loved my Accutane. I mean, I hated it. But I loved it.

My derm told me that one course of Accutane may not be enough for everyone, and that some people needed a second round. It's often not obvious right away that a second round is necessary, since it might take a little bit before your system gets back to "normal". I'm glad I didn't have to do that...I'm so sorry you're…

He was my favorite Treblemaker! I'm pretty much in love with him forever. I can't wait to see him on the show.

When I think about it, veneers look SO WEIRD. They make the teeth look too big, and as you mentioned, make all teeth look like incisors and perfectly flat at the chewing edge. I look at people's smiles and go, "Where the hell are your canines? HOW DO YOU CHEW MEAT?"

Most nail polish removers are non-acetone, which is less drying for your skin and nails. But...I think they suck giant donkey balls at actually removing polish. I use 100% acetone, which is indeed pretty drying. But I remove nail polish maybe four times a year? So I figure it's ok. So if your nail polish remover is…

I live not far from the Guthrie. It looks like an Ikea.

It's always been my opinion that if it's in the budget, buy whatever ring you want. Diamond, emerald, ruby, CZ, no stone, whatever. That said, I know a few men that I graduated with that took out crazy loans to buy the engagement ring, for fear that their girlfriend would not like a smaller ring. I don't know, putting…

But...didn't Rudolph have a red nose before he was even asked to help pull the sleigh with the other reindeer? If hyperemia of the nasal mucosa is due to working hard and suffering more extreme heat loads while pulling a sleigh filled with toys and a very jolly, very fat man, then why would he have the red nose when…

I have no specific recollection of it. I assume it was at least explained to me when my grandmother died. I was about six? I was also raised on a farm and dealt with animals dying, so it may have actually been explained earlier.

That's what I saw. Looks like they're both comfortable in each other's presence, but the child is not into the cuddles. The dog is pretty relentless about it, but actually really pretty gentle about it. My dog is apparently half-cat, and likes to headbutt people into cuddle-time. Which is fine if you're dealing with a…
