Having had personal experience with Stevens-Johnsons, I find her story to be full of holes. No one leaves the hospital untreated if they have untreated Stevens-Johnsons. This whole smells of bullshit and poor decision making.

I came here to correct the name too. Although I enjoyed this article so much more with all the mentions of this Steve Johnson character.

Regarding the nitpicking over "getting to work five minutes late" - many of the jobs listed in the first paragraph are service jobs based around shifts, meaning that when you're late for your shift, the person you're supposed to relieve has to stay late. It's really inconsiderate to your co-workers to be late on a…

It really upsets my mom that I don't want kids because she really wants grandkids. Once, while we were alone in the car, she brought up kids again and said, "I feel like it's my fault that you don't want kids, that I raised you wrong." I was thinking, "Oh, for fuck's sake. Yeah, you definitely have a hand in it." But…

But that is the only course of action you can take right now. I don't think it's fair to be angry at her for that. If the system can be changed, it's going to change slowly through campaigning alone, and in the meantime you're the only person who can change your diet because right now the food industry's not…

I forgot to add that I agree - the idea that baking is so hard and time-consuming has to be a marketing ploy. I'm not Martha and I can knock out cookies, loaves and muffins with very little effort. I'd love to act like I'm special, but I'm not. It's easy to follow the ingredients and you quickly learn the "tricks"…

I've been trying to eat more healthy. I cut out soda and sugary drinks entirely, just drinking water and tea. I look at the labels for EVERYTHING.

Starting with the new year I made the husband join me in my return to vegetarianism. This effectively cut him off from fast food. I also made the choice to start eating a majority of food I make at home. With only that change hubs has dropped 30 pounds. I have always been a 3-4 workouts a week type of a person and…

yeah it's a choice but it's not like you can take them back once they're born. i'm not saying they should say this to their kids but if anything, having an outlet for these feelings is probably therapeutic since it's not really something they can admit to anyone.

If you don't mind me de-railing for Canadians...

I say this as a Canadian, so I'm sorry if this is offensive, but does anyone else find the general attitude of America towards its military kind of uncomfortably intense? Like, I guess what this woman did was a bit disrespectful and silly, but was it really THE MOST HORRIBLE THING EVER?

Did she really think she could goof around like her white, male coworkers in uniform and be subjected to the same lack of scrutiny? How dare she.
