True, just never really had thought of it that way (or looked into it), probably because I knew that wasn’t the reason my parents went with it for my sister. Very interesting about the Irish naming thing, I had no idea Caitlin is intended to be pronounced Kathleen.... I wonder how many others are mispronounced like…

There is also the balance of screening benefits vs radiation. In general, radiologists hesitate on radiating a patient under 40.

The likelihood of getting breast cancer in your 20’s and 30’s is infinitely small compared to the risk of exposing yourself to radiation during a mammogram. That’s where the question of what age being discussed in the article stems from. Risk v. Reward.

My wife gave birth to our daughter. I’ve been pregnant but was never able to carry to term.

Ok, so I work in insurance because I’m the devil, and I guarantee she’s suing so the kid’s family’s insurance will pay her medical bills. That is the only way she’ll get paid. Home or renters policies typically have low medical payment limits ($1,000 - $10,000) that will be paid regardless of liability, but to tap…

Unless there is some major family turmoil going on here, I’m pretty sure this is about the fact that the kid’s father’s homeowners’ insurance policy won’t pay for her lost work time and pain and suffering unless she sues the kid even though it’s covered by the policy. I’m sure it’s been discussed with the father and…

So many. My non-pregnant friend just today got a pat on the tummy by a dude who asked her when she’s due. She’s a size 4.

Who is willing to do a seminar on “How to talk to people without being an asshat”? I’d gofund that.

A battle between Lolo Jone and Raven-Symoné is one in the which the only satisfactory outcome is mutual destruction. WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDUMB.

Lolo Jones is also the woman who called Trayvon Martin’s friend, Rachel Jeantel, “Precious.” Black Twitter dragged the mess out of her for that, and rightfully so. She’s giving an account of how her friend was murdered and mocking her was okay for Lolo.

If you don’t want it pronounced that way then don’t put the accent on it. Accents are not lace doilies, they don’t just dress up the letters, they change how they sound.

Ugh this actually bothers me far too much.

I just googled and apparently the “é” in Raven-Symoné’s name is NOT pronounced. It’s the same as “Simone.” Now THAT is a crime against the accent aigu.

I know this is a late response, I just learned that I get notifications when people respons to things :) but, yessssss. I mean, I used to do meth, and I got hours of amusement singing along to that video while high as a kite.

Request!

Yeah, but he’s a dick and his stand up isn’t funny, so I’m going to pass.

“Everybody’s taking our jobs!”

It’s just that doing drugs is a way worse crime than attacking women.

It would be a shame if it accidentally got destroyed right after you testified. A real shame.
