Dear Alicia Silverstone,

Just turned 11, my mother was in India, and before she left, I'd suggested to her that perhaps it was nearing time for us to have a discussion about such things, and she decided it could wait until she'd returned. I was staying with my dad at the time, my friend's mom took me to get my first pads. And all 5 of my…

Oh man, he never was until a year or so ago, cut his hair, grew into himself, not to mention his incredible skill on the pitch, and all of a sudden, I'm all about Messi.

And this why the only magazine I read these days is BUST.

Went to a totally not hipster Indian restaurant on curry hill with my aging Indian parents who were incredibly and hilariously puzzled by the mason jars serving as their drinking glasses.

A hospital I've rotated through had a Subway open 24/7, and on those call nights, a Flatizza actually really hits the spot! I'd get it with all the veggies, toasted. So, they have their place, is what I'm trying to say.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I have a feeling that most people just see "country in Africa" and think poverty. I mean, Africa is a small, homogeneous land mass to most people.

But he might also not be from a low income family! Is my only point. I just don't see it stated anywhere that he is, but that's still the overriding impression, probably because his family is from Ghana.

Yea I'm sure he'll qualify for all manner of academic scholarships based on merit, but the majority of the highlighted comments were people solely focusing on need-based, etc...

Any reason we're assuming he had the application fee waived or that he'll qualify for crazy financial aid other than his family being from Ghana? I checked the original article and didn't see anything in the source material about it. Not all immigrants are struggling. I find the assumption that his family is…

It is a testament to just how attractive Robin Szolkowy is, that I barely even looked at her during their performance.

I'm an American ER doc currently on short term assignment in Uganda, working at a national referral hospital, and I just saw my first true case of tetanus. It was horrific and the patient died 2 hours after I saw her.

Yes American thing, but really only something that happens in high schools with a football team. My high school didn't have one, so we never had homecoming or pep rallies. So my understanding of them, probably like yours, mostly comes from TV and movies...

That gif is basically how I live my life. Love it.

These are the folks who ran the one I did, but really I just searched for the dates was interested in and a location that seemed fun and new and went for it!

These are the folks who ran the one I did, it's going to be the South of France in a week, but I just did a search with the dates I was interested in and went for it!

I did a yoga retreat in Turkey during the fall, a week long, yoga + writing workshop. We slept in yurts, did Yoga in an open air shala, and 3 incredible vegetarian meals a day were included. It was the best low-tech, adult sleepaway camp ever.

I am dying right now. This made me feel all kinds of feelings.

I'm a physician in an ER and the kinds of things people come to the ER via Ambulance for are infuriating, especially on the pediatric side of things. It's fairly common to see EMS roll in at 2am with a child who has been coughing but otherwise completely fine.
