I’ve had doctors confirm for me that this is okay, and have used both post-surgery when my prescription painkillers ran out.

They are, but the colour selection is awful. (Traditional reds and pinks only in most brands.)

I’m truly sorry for your experience. There is nothing more damaging to someone than feeling as though you are to blame for another’s actions and can’t tell the truth of what happened. It’s especially difficult when you’re a child, and the other person is an adult in a position of respect/authority.

We call it peameal bacon in Canada, and while it isn’t in any way what I’d consider “bacon”, it’s delightfully salty and porklicious and is a great protein at any time of day.

I tried eating with chopsticks in the hopethat it would help me improve my diet and encourage me to eat better quality food, much as you suggest.

I’m curious... How does one “end up” in theatrical costuming class? Isn’t that a pretty niche field that most people choose to be in? (Or did your university just have some really bizarre electives?)

I love my touchscreen! I also thought I’d dislike out, but it’s just so darn handy.

I’ve recently begun applying this principle to my conversations with others (although I didn’t realize it until I deaf this article!) and have find the results to be quite positive.

The situation you describe is wrong, wrong, wrong, and I hope you find a better mechanic. Any professional who would lie to a client (for any reason) is a slimeball.

This is really excellent... I think I’ll steal it! :) (Thank you.)

If my 4-months pregnant tummy (and associated fun anatomical changes) aren’t stopping me from sleeping on my stomach, how on earth could a simple pea do it?

I really enjoy wearing my “barefoot” shoes at the gym... Most of the benefits of real bare feet, none of the grossness!

This.

First, I think you mean “message”, not letter. It was a nice use of the concept, though.

Thanks for the informative reply! I had never heard of such a rule, but your explanation took it from “ridiculous” to “downright sensible, if a bit odd”. :)

Just wanted to tip my hat to you for accepting a public correction with grace. Thank you. :)

I RTFM whenever possible—especially, as you said, when it involves a $20K vehicle. Hell, I read it for the cars I rent as well as own. The manual lives in my glovebox and is consulted on a monthly basis (always something new to learn!), and more frequently when something “goes odd”. I like to know if it’s a problem I…

Funny that you should mention that as an example. My grandmother sold her Rabbit for slightly more than scrap money back in the mid-90s after being told it was irreparable... only to see it back on the market a month later for more than double what she received. :/

Sounds like a fun way to pass the time... I like it!

But isn’t that why people call you? Because they don’t know these things and need to be towed to a place where someone who does can help them?
