Emaciate: to make abnormally lean or thin by a gradual wasting away of flesh.

I didn't mean "respectable profession" I meant "profession in which you have enough medical knowledge to know that hanging yourself from a balcony is going to certainly result in death." I agree with you that a conspiracy theory cover-up seems really unlikely, but kink gone wrong seems really unlikely as well. This…

I could be with you if she had not been found hanging from a balcony. People enjoy auto-erotic asphyxiation, sure, but most people (and certainly a nurse) would not be so stupid as to hang themselves from a balcony since that almost certainly would mean death. I just don't think the kink gone wrong explanation fits…

I went and got my dad and asked him to help me report them! Sigh.

This sounds awesome to me. Way more fun than a stereotypical night of woo-girling and drinking yourself stupid. But that's me. I should get to have a bachelorette party that speaks to what I would enjoy, just like someone who wants a bunch of whooing and riding a mechanical bull should get that. I get tired of this…

You actually most likely have to have an ultrasound anyway. No responsible doctor is going to perform a medical procedure without seeing how far along you are and whether there are any complications. The difference here is forcing women to look at the pictures.

I had an abortion several years ago. I had to have an ultrasound beforehand (as I believe everyone does - that seems to be a big misunderstanding of this law, it's not about the ultrasound it's about being forced to look at the picture). They did not make me look at the ultrasound, but for some reason the technician…

I mean, it would be nice if this was true, but you're not taking into account how much more difficult this probably makes things for them, no matter how much better it seems on your end. They now have to take two days off of work instead of one - when getting one day off is an impossibility for many people. They now…

I think you're 100% correct, but I'm not entirely sure that the disrespect for him comes from racism. I think there's a real feeling that he didn't "pay his dues," that he's an upstart who doesn't know what he's talking about but makes pretty speeches - i.e., he inspires people, something the Republicans have never…

If you find one let me know - I'd like to join!

Hm. I like Janelle Monae, but that doesn't really make any sense. It strikes me as kind of a nonsense justification for "I wanted to find a way to make myself stand out."

This is creepy. However, the sound did make my cats come running in from the other room, so I guess that's something.

That was my first assumption too, but in this day and age it seems like a strange move to make. I went and read the article though and it said she had just moved here from Puerto Rico - perhaps culturally it's different there and accepting a ride from a stranger would not be drilled into her head as a "never" thing.

Honestly, it doesn't behave like any pregnancy belly I've ever seen. My guess is that she actually is pregnant but isn't showing as much as she'd like to be, so she's wearing a fake belly to make herself look more "pregnant and glowing." She's been hyping it up so much that that wouldn't seem out of character to me.

Did the two women know each other, or were they complete strangers? I'm having trouble understanding why you would get in the car with a complete stranger and then go inside their house to use their bathroom. If they knew each other, this strikes me as even more horrifying - to do that to someone whose family you're…

Wow. You are disgusting. Wonder if you would feel the same way if her name was something more white sounding?

Yeah - the way she turns around and looks at her mother immediately, like, "can you believe I didn't get this?"

Sorry, I got caught up in school and didn't see this comment until today, but you are exactly right. I'm actually in med school and the amount of HIPAA stuff we have drilled into us is insane - it's not the sort of thing you would just casually violate because there was a woman in your office you liked to gossip…

Sorry, but what exactly makes this "wtf" or classless? Are these women somehow less qualified to say they support our troops because they work at Hooters? Despite the fact that two of them are obviously honoring people they know personally? Or is that a woman who chooses to show her breasts, legs, or stomach…

What exactly is ridiculous about the women of Hooters saying they honor the men and women who serve our country? Is it because of what they said? Obviously not. So it comes down to what they were wearing while they said it, and what their job is. It's shaming them over their job for no reason, and implying that…
