I hope you’re able to find another doctor/PA. Good doctors know that: the factors that cause diabetes cause weight gain, not vice versa; that the better your glucose control, the harder it is to lose weight; and the drugs that are helping you control your glucose make losing weight difficult.

I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency from kidney disease that's not helped by me also having a sun allergy (rashes, fever and joint pain with infrequent bursting into flames). My deficiency is so severe that sure, getting more sun wouldn't hurt but I need Rx Vitamin D (50,000 iu weekly + 5,000 iu daily). If your…

Yes you should. Risk factors include:

Damn straight. I pass for 15 years younger (which is still old, but not as old as I really am, which is 50).

I was Goth before anyone had ever heard of it (but way back then I just got called “Snow White” a lot). Black hair, pale skin, burns in 15 minutes or less and a legit sun allergy. SPF 50+, long sleeves, hats, scarves ... but I don’t look my (Old) age, either.

They do in First Class, unless the flight is a very short distance. I'm disabled and take First Class rather than expecting the world to revolve around my every need.

Look up “hot sticking” or “French sticking” but only if you have a strong stomach (I don't even have the right equipment and I'm getting shooting pains thinking about it).

Maybe he wants to jump her literal bones.

These animals were so revered that killing one to make an offering would be unthinkable, even laughable, to the average ancient Egyptian. It's fairly likely that their low/no animal content was common knowledge. Additionally, the penalty for killing at cat was pretty drastic at various times in ancient Egyptian…

In real life, it’s not always possible to avoid without some really clunky writing/speaking. I only counted them because I was challenged to find all the deliberate errors in M. Ebola’s funny post.

Not only that, it’s easier to control and exploit someone who’s chronically intoxicated - book her for more shows than she could handle, take a larger percentage of her money, etc. I don’t think there was any interest in killing her, but there wasn’t much in helping her.

More than bothered. All those craptastic neologisms are like fingernails on a chalkboard, and business-speak is a concoction of nonsense. The English language is great because it has so many words, and there's a word for almost every shade of nuance or precision, but picking out words at random because they sound…

“Impact” used to mean “effect” and its bastard children, “impacted” (acceptable only if talking about wisdom teeth and fecal problems) and “impactfully,” which I’ve seen used with no trace of regret, all make me want to scream. And yes, I’m aware that’s a bit of a run on sentence.

Agree about not stuffing seafood with more seafood. They're all pretty delicious on their own, and aside from battering, deep frying and adding some vinegar, usually simple preparation is all it takes to make them tasty...

It seemed to me that she was surrounded by people who were interested in keeping her as drunk and crazy as possible, for their own gain, and she died because no one was really that interested in getting her real help. Withdrawing from alcohol is extremely dangerous, and trying it the way she did obviously can have…

Okay, now I love more than just your username.

Having fallen prey to the possessive/contraction fuckup myself, those didn’t really stand out like “impact” but here now that you’ve thrown down the gauntlet:

I could even eat it baked with butter, lemon and thyme but I really like fish.

For some people, it never goes away. My husband, 51 (I'm an Old, too) can eat an entire large pizza in one sitting. I hate pizza, so it's fascinating and terrifying to watch.

I’m normally pretty “meh” on ice cream (worked in an ice cream parlor when I was a teen, I think that broke me), so imagine my surprise when I was hella sick last month and not only wanted ice cream but demolished two pints of B&J. What? And I still needed antibiotics.
