And OBGYNs already have the highest malpractice insurance rates in medicine.

Just responding the point out and bump because nuKinja- Libby Anne is awesome.

So one of the women who owned the studio went on pointe too early and totally wrecked herself, which prevented her from being able to have a professional career. That is one of the reasons they were so cautious.

San Gimignano is amazing! I still want to go back and test the validity of the "world's greatest gelatto" sign I saw there.

I'm feeling the need to go back and re read these books again. I haven't since, oh, middle school, but I think this puts the unease I always felt about Gilbert in a context I wasn't able to articulate at the time.

So, I actually didn't go on pointe until I was an older teenager (my studio kind of had this thing where they'd let you go up at 12 or 13, but discouraged it unless you were on a professional tract because of unnecessary injury, and I was never built to be a professional dancer) and yes it is way better with adult…

To add to this- how hard is it to find a ballet dancer who has been dancing since she was three? Like, fuck, hire me. No, I'm not professional, and I don't think you need professional for this ad, but at least hire someone with technical credibility. Send casting calls to companies and adult dance studios or…

This! Look, I started dancing around 4 and frankly, I was never great, especially compared to the girls I danced with (a chunk of whom professionals now). That being said, my not great dancing would still show off the 16+ years of technique training, even though I haven't danced regularly in a few years. My feet still…

I have a friend who's gluten and lactose intolerant, so rice pudding made with coconut milk = perfect dessert. Also, perfectly delicious dessert. MMMM coconut milk.

Taylor Swift, I am convinced that we would just get along. I don't love your music, but low key after party? Playing pool and eating pizza in a ball gown? That's my kinda night.

Wow. Mothers. Maybe not all mothers, but yours sounds like mine.

Sorry for the wine needing. Or not... mmmm wine.

Dude, I do think clothing manufactures have embraced more variety in sizes (at least within not plus sized ranges, I can't speak to that) than when I was in high school. I have large thighs, hips, and a butt that made finding a lot of pants shopping impossible, because of too much room in the waist or not enough in…

I just felt the need to express my sympathy. Your inseam is 10 inches longer than mine. I can't find anything that fits, but at least I can hem.

So sad. I always assume that if formal uniform is required, the corresponding dress should be a notch or two above normal. Like, if you go cocktail, go really nice cocktail dress. But, my friends who have attended military balls always bring out the long dresses, so that's what I assumed those were like.

I want that green dress.

Those women who wore the super architectural ball gowns- that ladies, is what I'm talking about. Damn I want an occasion to wear a dress like that.

Yeah, here's the thing for me. If you google "white tie" you run into a list of really explicit rules for what men wear. Like, no thought involved. I appreciate someone like Kanye putting his own spin on it by saying fuck the tie or whatever, because that fits his persona, but come on people, this is not hard. I also…

Oh me too! Not the only psycho in the room!

I think in this logic, "Western" schools are ones that are not explicitly Muslim/Muslim enough according to these guys. And since Abubakar Shekau seems to think any school that allows girls is not Muslim enough, it is therefore western.
