My sister pretty much spent both of her pregnancies in a panic every time a kid looked sick because she teaches little kids in a really affluent area, so there are a bunch of anti-vaxxers.

It's the level of antibodies in your blood to measles (or whatever else they're testing).

I'm on board with this. My family addresses everything to me as "Miss" because it's more formal. I even suggested that if they don't like Ms., they can use Dr. because I have a doctorate, and it seems pretty formal. It's in Latin and everything. Sadly, the use of "Miss" seems to be some sort of passive-aggressive jab…

The fact that it's a big deal for her to say that to someone in 2015 is depressing.

I just kind of imagine the movie is a horror piece, and Jaime is really his character from the Fall pretending to be Christian Gray, and it all becomes menacing and a little interesting.

From what I know, this seems to be the case. Several years ago, my uncle (by marriage- no blood relationship) decided my sister, who is blonde, tiny and really stylish, was hot enough to fix up with one of his relatives who was at the time a fairly successful professional tennis player. I am not blonde and rarely wear…

Probably not, but that's much more likely depending on individual anatomy than it somehow cleansing the uterus . I try to just disconnect it from myself and make it clinical. Otherwise, I can't think about it all.

It doesn't. Well, it reaches the cervix which is part of the uterus, but unless it's under pressure (owwww) it's pretty much just going in the vagina and not actually entering the uterus.

I'm pretty sure he did this one himself possibly with some help from whatever law books he has access to in prison. The original article shows a picture of his suit which is handwritten on lined paper.

Me too this afternoon getting out of my car with just plain boots and tired but not drunk. Also, way, way less adorable. Hopefully, the dog made out better than I did. I managed a bruised leg and a minor wrist sprain.

The only reason I'm willing to buy the version of quick, shallow owner "burial" are the consistent injuries. If that wasn't the case, though, just like those stories, this one is almost certainly a whopping coincidence.

Oh my. That's awful. Did the kitty make it?

During my, extremely brief, high school teaching stint before vet school I got similar advice from my principal when I at 22 and extremely naive complained about sexual harassment from students who were closer to me in age than I was to my principal. Basically, his advice was to make sure my "dress and demeanor" did…

Yeah, the version where they bury an unconcious cat that revives enough to get up is improbable, but it can happen. I just don't buy that cat was deep enough in shock for a vet to pronounce it dead and the owner to bury it and then got out of it's grave. I'm guessing that either they buried it immediately with no vet…

I can't find a source for him being initially pronounced dead by a vet. The articles about it all talk about the owner and a landscaper deciding he was dead and burying him immediately (which I buy). I just can't imagine a vet making that mistake (possible but unlikely) and the cat being unconscious long enough for…

Yeah. If you haven't and want a rage blackout you should also watch the clip in the linked article where he tells a woman who aborted a wanted pregnancy at 21 weeks because the fetus had no brain function that she should have carried to term to see if it would magically get better once born because, you know, he once…

That is how I feel about them. Roaches are probably the one type of animal that makes me irrational. In grad school, I walked into a seminar, and took the only seat left. The woman in the seat next to me had hissing cockroaches in a box because it was somehow part of her research (it was an ethology seminar), but…

Ugh! Chiropractors can be amazingly helpful for pain that responds to skeletal manipulation, but for everything else.... well, too many of them offer advice that is batshit crazy. I was talking to a woman on a train who seemed perfectly nice and normal until she told me how grateful she was that her husband had…

It's not a big deal. I am pretty needle phobic (getting), and I had to do it in grad school because they wouldn't release my transcripts without complete vax records, and I could not find a record for my last MMR, didn't have time to wait for a titer and needed those transcripts to apply to vet school. We won't go…

A vet assistant is more like a nurse's aid . That's why I picked it. Plus, a NP isn't a vet either, so it's tough to find an exact comparison.
