It actually is like taking cough syrup. Any OTC medication has risks, and some people are affected more than others. Tylenol is an incredibly dangerous drug if not taken properly, as is cough syrup, which people often mix with other cold medications and wind up overdosing on tylenol or other ingredients without…

I think it’s the other way around: they’ve become one of the largest corporations in the world because they exploit people and put them in harm’s way.

The analogy isn’t perfect. When your driver’s license expires, you’re not legally able to drive. When your greencard expires, you still have permanent residency - it isn’t revoked like a license. I’d compare it more to a student id. You’re not expelled if your student id expires, you just need a new one if you want to…

Frankly, I’d be fine with him being super high. Who isn’t? But he looks a little smug to me...

Indeed it did. Just its face, but that was enough. And I really did love it!

I had one of these guys:

I feel really conflicted about this. The Sisters of Mercy are among the most abusive of all the orders... in Ireland. In the US, they genuinely seem to do good work (at least the sisters born and raised here). The nuns I’ve met seem surprisingly progressive, and are well liked by their colleagues, students, and…

It doesn’t go quite that far, and I’m not up on current laws, but you used to be able to print your own checks and cash them at a bank. I was a teller in college (late 90s), and we had more than one customer do it. We were told to have our manager approve any odd transactions like that, but she always did, and there…

That was amazing.

Out of curiosity, how would you like having the option? I assign a final project in some of my courses, but students can work alone or in a group of their choosing (of up to four). The projects are also their choice, and the work they produce should reflect the number of people in the group (the grading is explained).

Aw, and you have a “real” papillon! Mine is about 30 pounds. Not overweight, just BIG. He looks more a like a sheltie (though he is pedigreed - I’m still suspicious about who his mother was hanging out with). I actually like his size, but I sometimes wish I had one of those little puffball papillons like you!

My papillon respectfully disagrees. Though his true strength is bed napping.

I’m not in a medical field, but it’s not uncommon for articles in my field to be accepted, but not appear in print (or any index) for months, or even well over a year. We’d typically refer to such an article as “to appear in ***” but once it’s reviewed and accepted, the distinction is unimportant. Is that unusual in…

It’s like her ass has been watermarked. Good business sense for a butt lift model, I suppose.

So, according to that article, she’s been at the prison since 2002, and in a relationship lasting at least two years since? When was the 20 year stretch in solitary?

There’s a loooong way between solitary confinement and release.
