Oh, you're a troll. Never mind. I get it.

This is a TERRIBLE idea. And as I already responded to your "social contract" argument, the bias toward children is cultural, part of the social contract, but not codified into law the way you seem to think it is. Seriously, POTUS weighing in here would set a terrible, terrible precedent. As someone mentioned above,…

But law and medical policies do not, in theory, adhere to that bias. That bias is socially institutionalized, not legally so.

Yup. This is heartbreaking. I absolutely cannot fault the Murnaghans for grasping at every possible option, whether within or without the law. I've lost an immediate family member to an untimely tragedy, and it hurts so bad you can't stand it, so I'd probably do the same thing in their situation.

Oh dear god you're right.

This face says, "You're not nearly as subtle with that iPhone camera as you think you are, dude across from me. I SEE YOU, BRO."

I wasn't upset by this episode. The Robb Stark King of the North storyline had gone nowhere fast (and by fast, I mean slooooooow), I couldn't stand Talisa from the beginning, and even Catelyn had become grating and useless. Cut the fat and let's get back to the folks that move the plot forward.

Interesting! I checked, and my cat goes for treats with his right paw. No southpaw kitties for me.

How does one determine if their dog is left-pawed or right-pawed? Do cats also have innate paw preferences? It has never occurred to me before now that animals could be righties or lefties.

Completely agree. And my friends and I are not slutty at the expense of other interests. I was genuinely apologizing, though, juuuuuust in case.

Wow. That's just bad friend. If my friend is talking to a guy, I will be friendly but reserved, the end. Otherwise, RUDE!

Taking cold showers every day: 0;

I'm slutty and I do a lot of fireball shots. I apologize if I am one of your friends in real life.

I love brussels sprouts, like, a lot, and I had an ex call me "my little brussels sprout" in French for a while. I do remember him telling me that it was close to a common French pet name, now that I think about it. Ugh.

And some people don't want permanent partners (raises hand), so we just kind of happily bang our way through the world. Different folks, different strokes.

Non-homemade ice cream sundaes? BREAD? CORN??? NEVER??? Are you kidding me with this, Rodale? This is exactly why I don't bother with your publications anymore. Your running articles are bland and repetitive, and your food articles are preachy and classist and stupid and smelly and I just don't like you.

Ha, exactly. I work with MSWs, MPHs, etc. Dudes do actually get MPHs at a decent rate, but most of them are gay, and the ones who aren't typically go into consulting, which is not my cup of tea.

I used to write sports. I definitely found dudes to bone in that line of work. Like, several.

I have been both a shit intern and a good intern.

HELLO, FRIEND.
