I read a book studying chemo brain that suggested that while everyone may have short term issues, some people are more at risk for long-term involvement. Being a woman, being younger, having an active reproductive system (some women go into a peri-menopause during treatment) all make you more at risk for long-term…

Damn that's cold.

My paperback copy opens directly to that part when you touch it.

If you live near STL, the Endangered Wolf Center is the ultimate charity gift. http://www.endangeredwolfcenter.org/ The receiver can not only feel awesome for the donation (or adoption if you go that route) but they can also tour the place. Zoo memberships and conservation donations often come with nice perks and…

I do this too! I made a Cullen Crest (from Twilight) for a friend using my Cricut and some bootleg software. When Harry Potter came out for the last time *sniff* I made a set of matching glasses for each house.

A blogger I follow just got duped by them trying to pass acrylic off as wool too. http://egyptomaniac57.blogspot.com/2012/11/j-crew-wth.html

I'm in early stage thyroid failure and my tests can be normal for a time or cycle. My doctor was saying my TSH should be below 2 while my endo says anything over a 1.5 should have triggered concern. Endo was also pissed that my T3 and T4 were ignored. Over the course of 2 years my numbers were 6.5, 3, 1.3, 4.5, 1.5…

I've done yoga and like you I've never touched my toes. I think I did once actually but it hurt like hell. I was actually capable of doing a pullup in high school so I'll take the tradeoff.

And the CDC no longer collects that same data because they recognized that dog breeds were not verified and were self or negligently reported. Their current advice focuses more on separating children and dogs without supervision since they isolated that as a direct cause of dog bites.

I know the bread debate is one of those things people die over but I'm going to make a small suggestion: Texas toast. You can still eat it like a sandwich but the slightly thicker cut means your French toast doesn't get super soggy. I also like to think it pisses off Texans and the French so it's a bonus win.

I read Gawker, Jezebel, and Deadspin quite regularly but this whole week has been repeat after repeat. They aren't even bothering to cross-post so my guess is everyone at HQ is in a lot of meetings and they think we won't notice for some reason.

She's definitely a distance runner. When she comes back to STL you can often see her running around the south city parks.

I'm getting annoyed with those people already. I just do not have the patience to deal with them.

This is going to be one of those articles, isn't it? One where people announce they make 100 times more than me or whatever but they are middle class because they spend their money faster than they earn it. If you were thinking about doing that, Lindsay Lohan already beat you to it:…

Seriously. I have this platonic love for him where I want to take him home and feed him toasted ravioli every time I see him in his Cardinals or Blues hat.

I can't say much since I'm from the outer burbs but hearing Ladue got an "oh of course" response from me. The school won't do shit because rich parents will intervene every time. I do hope http://whathighschoolshouldwecallme.tumblr.com/ posts their take on this.

I just wanted to say that I love this comment.

I've had cancer. When people try to make up reasons about why they had a tumor it's obvious they are coming to terms with things but to be attached to junk science is dangerous. My aunt is obsessed with telling me my microwave use caused my cancer, my other aunt tells me it was vaccines, my mom blames apple juice and…

I'm from Missouri and I think he has more than a fighting chance. I won't be surprised if he wins. He hates women just as much as most people here do.

My friend announced it similarly, around 7 1/2 months she posted pictures of the room she'd been renovating and was like "finally done. it'll be for the new kid. we hear he'll be a boy. we'll know for sure this summer" and everyone was shocked. She never showed before that (though I she popped the next week) and the…
