agree , sure they use natural ingredient - the bees wax or whatever but sill have all the sulfates and parabens in it , they are actually behind...even some of the generic cosmetic products have now a days less fillers inside than burts beez

Yes, you wacky Potterhead. I think she would have been ok in a gold necklace because it would have snapped. But to make this miserable story even more depressing the leather necklace was a gift from her kids that she never took off. She was a radiologist and so she didn’t wear metals to work.

So, it’s like nifflers. Take off your jewelry first?

Creepy true story: I know a woman doctor who was strangled to death by one of those neck massagers. I mention that she was a doctor only because she was home after a crazy long shift and probably fell asleep hard and didn’t wake up when it caught her leather necklace and twisted. Her husband won a large settlement…

Holy shit, he looked EXACTLY like I expected the founder of Burt’s Bees to look. Rest in peace, you grizzly, delicious-chapstick-making hippie.

Relax, man

I used the Burt’s Bee’s baby wash on both my kids (apparently 99% chemical free, for whatever that’s worth). It gave then the most beautiful baby smell.

Fuck em. Seriously, between the kids stoned during Ramadan, the women beheaded for ‘sorcery’ and the continued reports of an expanding slave markets from the past month my sympathy for anyone who aligns themselves with or joins ISIS is at an all time low.

I don’t quite understand your contentious tone. As it happens, I read that article a couple of years ago. I don’t dispute that schools should not be one size fits all. I have 2 sons, one with developmental delays and his style of learning is much more visual than a neuro-typical kid. I just think when we start framing…

I commented on a post on facebook about how women/girls aren’t encouraged enough in science and some asscanoe replied with lines about how men are designed to build things and women are designed to be nurturers and while there are some exceptions, that’s just how things are.

Generally speaking there is the idea that boys learn one way and girls learn another and the way girls learn is more adapted to the way teachers generally teach in America. Now, that is utter bull since most learning theories posit around four different ways of learning instead of two anyway; what they are and how…

Correction, the misunderstanding when the Mayor said 'Why is the city LIBRARY of all things making me look bad? You're a LIBRARY. BOOKS. No one dislikes the idea of libraries but somehow you're managing to do it.'

I agree our goal as a society should be an educated population. However the decrease of men in university may not denote a lack of education. This is purely anecdotal, but many of my male friends chose technical or vocational schools instead of university and most of them make more money than me.

remember the SAT was re-designed because girls were scoring higher than boys

Yeah no shit. This is a nice little precursor to the future she’ll face as a women in STEM. Thankfully she seems like a badass who is going to push forward no matter what, and now she’s already got a track record of doing it. Yay Cash!

Exactly. Shouldn’t they not only be encouraging kids of all ages to learn, but to encourage girls to develop a love for science? If anything, start one strictly for girls in hopes of getting them hooked on that kind of thing.

“You see, dear, even though boys are routinely encouraged and supported into STEM fields, and girls - of equal and even greater aptitude - are systemically discouraged and pushed away from STEM fields, we still felt like the boys deserved an awesome robot club to help them get that extra boost, just in case the entire…

The misunderstanding came when they thought she would go away meekly an accept the fact that they wouldn’t let her participate in the robotics course.

Because boys have it so hard in the engineering world. This type of discouragement is exactly why girls end up abandoning STEM interests around 11 or 12 years old.

“Misunderstanding”.
