I agree. That's why I said "For these people [with latent TB], skin tests won't tell you when you are sick [active TB]. Instead, they are diagnosed on lung x-rays." Guess I should've included the stuff in brackets to distinguish the two.

Pathogen would be the same as germ! Something foreign that can cause you to be ill. Not to mention germ also means something else in relation to plants (wheat). I'm sure there are a bunch of UK words that Americans wouldn't use also. Anyways I see why it bugs you. During a doctor's visit when I was 13, a male…

Actually it is inaccurate. They should've said active TB. You can have the TB germ without being actively sick. It can live as spores inside the lungs and the person can be healthy and not contagious. For these people, the skin test won't tell you when you are sick. Instead, they are diagnosed on lung x-rays.

It was one of those rules people chose to overlook. I was a barista and my co-worker got a labret piercing which the district manager made him take it out. He had to bandaid it because it was new and uncomfortable exposed. To make matters worse, our shift supervisor has an existing lip ring and nose stud, but she…

A single serving of Fage greek yogurt is around $1.30. McD's dollar menu has sausage and biscuit and other single-patty burgers. Which are people going to choose if they only had that $1 to spend to feel full.

I know a woman who is tiny (5'1, 110 lbs ish) with high cholesterol and bordering on high blood pressure. Another woman I know is very definitely plus size (5'5, 300+ lbs) with normal cholesterol and blood pressure. The plus size woman has trouble getting up the stairs without getting winded and joint pain because…

I do not understand this. When you change your pad, you use the new pad's wrapper to wrap the used pad. WTF. Also I keep a few pieces of junk paper (like from old grocery store ads) to wrap the last pad.

I would be so pissed (pun intended). In order to avoid "germs" that roommate is creating germs by messing the toilet seat. BTW, urine is sterile (unless you have a bladder infection). I really hate the unpleasantness of sitting on a wet seat. Also I hate the preciousness of people who are too fucking good to sit…

Nice! Her song has some clever lyrics and the sampling of horns is cool, too.

As a woman who listens to rap, I sometimes cringe at the song I listen to (99 Problems, Big Pimpin', Youz a Ho, Bitches Ain't Shit). But I do switch the pronouns, too. I appreciate Dash's apology. It sounded sincere. His interviewer is laughing recounting Dash's past moves of pouring champagne on women and he…

I LOLed at what the fuck is brioche. I also imagined that he would say he is too manly to eat something called brioche, namby-pamby French food.

Depends. Europeans do not switch hands. They tend to use their left for their fork and right for the knife. Americans tend to use their dominant hand (usually the right hand) to hold the knife and cut, but have to switch hands to use the fork.

I just threw up in my mouth from imagining his cornea literally peel off with the contact lens. Gag! Eyeglasses for life.

One meow and lots of scary screeching I'm going to tear this hamburger apart noises.

Mushrooms in your dessert soup?! That sounds very odd. I am Chinese and love Chinese dessert soups and never had one with shrooms. My favorite is taro which is made with taro, tiny tapioca balls, coconut milk, and rock sugar. Red beans are okay as an ice cream flavor or blended into a milkshake, but I don't care…

It's pretty good with saltines. I tried them on a whim when I ran out of graham crackers. I bet those pretzel chips would be even better.

Her hair looks so beautiful. I like the retro styling of the photos, not so much the movie theme. Like the first couple in the Buzzfeed link which is the one featured in this article was just too over the top. I do not want to see people straddling each other. It almost should be boudoir photos. The other couples…

Ugh, I was that friend once! My friend has mild cystic acne, which I don't really notice btw. I have clear skin except I have break outs on my back. I was complaining about how I can't wear tank tops because my pimples are just so gross I have to hide them. To which my friend replied quietly "I just wear them…

And the outfits!!

Yeah, I shrugged at that one, too.
