I'm currently in the middle of ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy) and it's kind of terrifying. For those that don't know, you go to the hospital and they give you controlled seizures. It's supposed to help where drugs have failed me to treat my depression. I hope it does.
you are fucking awesome and you've worked SO HARD! i have quintuple faith that you are going to kick ass in the next few hours! down to the wire, babe - you've come this far! lift up your head and know that that gorgeous brain of yours will not let you down!
I've had a hard weekend. Yesterday afternoon, my beloved Aunt Gerri died. She was diagnosed with leukemia in January. She had fallen in her apartment and used her LifeAlert and was taken to the hospital. After a CT scan and some bloodwork, they found the cancer. Since she was 90 years old, treatment would do nothing…
I'm just so in love with my newborn and my hubby right now. Who knew post-pregnancy hormones could turn me into a sentimental fool?
I am really very curious about whether the worker who diagnosed the IUD as a pregnancy was doing it in a deliberately misleading way or if it was a diagnostic mistake. Neither would surprise me, but it'd be interesting to know.
Geez. You know, I really feel bad for Pamela Anderson. I feel like she's had a really tough life filled with a lot of abuse. I hope this is the start to a new, better chapter for her.
Although the women are entitled to stay in police accommodation until their full benefits are paid, those in Bompai barracks complained the police authorities were "harassing them" to leave. At Hotoro the widows were under the protection of the second-in-command, but both groups spoke of feeling like outcasts -…
First and foremost you have no idea about Nigeria, and so stop overextending America's cop narrative to Nigeria's cop narrative, and there is clearly widespread corruption in the Nigerian police force. You need to just do a little bit of Google on Nigerian newspaper and news to see the many instances and the many…
Agreed - but I had a young co-worker at a library recently acknowledge that she did not know who Lee Harvey Oswald was.
Stop being so easily offended, it's the most annoying trend on the internet.
I work with teens (mostly white and middle class) and they seem to be still pretty clued into rock and roll. Not 80s and 90s stuff, but classic. I'm always surprised when I get schooled on Led Zeppelin or some other 60s/70s band by a kid/group of kids. They also follow rap/hip hop and pop. And let me tell you,…
Yea I agree with both of you and think you are saying the same thing. You must provide children with real culture if you don't want them to accept mass-produced consumer culture as an alternative. Real culture is about you and your life. Consumer culture is about the company that produces it. So- what is actually…
Dear Malaysia, keep your feet on the ground.
Heather Mills really is the worst. In other news, all of my cousins, who range in age from 15 to 23, know who Paul McCartney and the Beatles are. Most younger kids I know would at least recognize some of their songs. The idea that they would know who Heather fuckin' Mills is over Paul or the Beatles is just laughable.
To say that McCartney or the Beatles are culurally irrelevent, just because a pimpled 14 yo has never heard of them, is like saying that Rihanna is irrelevent, because an 80 yo guy has never heard of her and her music.
