Seconding. When my dad got sick, so many family members chimed in with 'suggestions' ranging from macrobiotic diets to never, ever do chemo, remember what happened to M? (M was a family friend who had a specific, extremely nasty type of leukemia, which AFAIK only had one effective chemo regimen. She was allergic to…

My thoughts exactly.

Replying to myself since I can't seem to edit my original post. Thank you all for your kindness and support. I'd like to get up on my soapbox for a second and encourage anyone who can to support your local hospice. The nurses and support staff are providing a service that no one should need, and they deserve more…

Yeah, sometimes gallows humor is the only humor you've got. One of the things dad got from the treatment center was this HUGE binder from the LiveStrong foundation that was pretty much 'Cancer for Dummies,' only dumbed down. We got a lot of mileage out of hate reading that pile of crap to dad, who was a patent holding…

I didn't know it at the time, but my now-brother in law, a disabled vet whose daily narcotic regimen is... mind boggling, was willing to give my dad a morphine overdose if he wanted it. The cancer in his brain won before he could decide, though. At the end, before the coma, he didn't recognize his kids, or his wife of…

Head, desk

You know nothing about this woman or her life, and yet you make assumptions and accusations why?

It must hurt like fuck to haul those around...

As far as I know, they're gigantic roaches. I may be wrong, because my sources for this is a) Dave Barry, and b) a somewhat drunken conversation with a guy who swore up and down that he'd seen one chase a cat out of it's own house. My bug phobia makes further research... problematic.

Don't forget the 'palmetto bugs'!

What a condescending douchenozzle! I would have straight up walked out, after telling him I'd be happy to continue just as soon as he's willing to act like a goddamn adult.

THIS!!!!! My aspie husband has words for people who feel like that, and they're not 'all gods bless.' His immunosupressed sister (kidney transplant from him, almost 15 years ago) probably has more, we haven't had a chance to talk in awhile. There is currently one measles case here in Michigan, on the other side of the…

Excellent gif!

He can take his bullshit concern trolling and shove it where the sun don't shine. Sideways.

Before you spend a lot of money on something that might not help, try coconut oil. Seriously, it's worked wonders on my eczema prone skin. (one part coconut oil + 1.5 parts sugar/salt/baking soda makes an amazing exfoliant) And if it doesn't help, you can cook with it!

I'm six months post hysterectomy and I'm pretty sure I still have a tampon in my purse. Pure habit, I guess...

And now I have that stuck in my head.

Yeah, that line made me want to throw up. Then find him and his agent and smack them both, Louise Belcher-style.

When my nephew visits, he stays in the upstairs apartment with my mom, and her kitchen is right above our bedroom. We can always tell when he's awake by the thunder of his feet as he runs through the apartment at full speed. I suspect mom is giving him wooden shoes and espresso as revenge for the hell I put her…
