What’s crazy too is that as a 28 yr old (currently) my doctor literally won’t take my symptoms seriously unless I first confirm like 40 times that “No, I’m not pregnant” and then maybe let’s just take a urine test to be sure, are you sure you’re not pregnant? Could it be that your sore throat and aching head are…

And, strep is such a simple case to diagnose and treat! 1 round of antibiotics! Gimme the ZPak!

Uber also takes credit cards and there’s no tipping involved (usually, although it’s getting more common to see drivers with a tip jar out). For me an Uber is easier to come by than a taxi and often less expensive than a taxi would have been.

I can vouch for the sugar-water popsicles. They are perfect for taking to-go on a walk with the dog. Blood sugar boost when there’s still an hour or so to go before dinner, but not enough to spoil an appetite.

Hey now, that was clearly a sheriff’s star.

Hm, ok. That’s kind of what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation!

Why is the curator(?) not wearing shoes in two of these photos? The top one looked like nude flats at first but the one where she’s laying out the veil is clearly barefoot. Is that normal? Or for not tracking dirt into the exhibits? Or ...?

Hi Hillary, I thought this piece was very funny and just wanted to let you know that wielding (in the headline) is spelled with the i before the e. Thanks for writing, I enjoy your articles!

So, that is actually Emmy winner Jacob Young playing Lucky Spencer on General Hospital. Which I know because I used to watch General Hospital after I got home from high school. Although I only found out about the Emmy when I was looking up his name today.

Exactly. No way to win. womp womp :-(

At some point it stops feeling like the Omnivore’s Dilemma and just starts to feel like an eating dilemma. Shouldn’t/won’t eat meat, ethically. Growing my own vegetables sounds reasonable, except groundwater concerns. I mean, what is the solution? Aside from immediate death and composting of one’s own body?

It’s kind of amazing that you don’t see the potential of what having the 1st woman president and 50% representation in the Cabinet could absolutely do for “women’s issues” as a cause.

I do not defend smoking, and that is not what we were talking about. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman

Ah, interesting. Mine is 1942, so I suspect we don’t fall in the same category. It just feels old to me, although not like, Queen Anne old.

It is a provision often covered in child support arrangements, even if the child is technically an adult by the time the parents divorce.

Sometimes people eat unhealthy food for all sorts of reasons, and they may or may not have anything to do with “wanting” to eat it. The produce you mentioned is certainly cheaper than the processed/prepared foods (including chips). However, the cost for produce is really factored in when you consider the time it takes…

Do you mind sharing the age of your house? Currently I have homeowners and auto insurance with USAA. I was thinking of switching my auto insurance away, but then we bought the house so it went down a bit. Curious to know if my house falls in that range of “terrible rates due to age”.

No, I mean Colorado. :-(

Well, if you read through the DM article, Mohamed is the one who makes the connection that the bad press is related to his religion. But I completely understand how it would rub the wrong way and somehow I find myself of the unenviable position of defending the Daily Fail. :-(

Right?? Here is a thing: last 4th of July, a friend of mine made fried pimento cheese balls!! I ate so so many. Then we turned around (after all the food was finished) and my dog was lapping up the oil he used to fry them in, probably tasted great ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
