Echoing BOH1066 here, as a certified pharmacy technician in a retail pharmacy, counting “pills” and pouring them into a vial are the last two steps of the fill process, and not the entire fill process (pills are an obsolete dosage form from back in the day when tablets were shaped onsite from drug powders. No one…

First the aging comment is agist in itself, and honestly I think the guys his age getting shot up with fillers are the skeevy looking ones. Pathetic, sad loser - hm, starring in the newest movie from, like him or not, one of Hollywood’s hottest directors, and I can’t really remember the last time he’s had any kind of…

Victim blame much?

I am currently in the midst of my most complicated lie ever. It’s actually a pack of lies and I’m weaving a tangled web. I’m going to Paris soon to celebrate a milestone birthday year for my spouse and myself. I am surprising him with our kids who will meet us there. One of them we haven’t seen in a year. So plane…

Well, it’s not the most complicated, but one I don’t mind telling people about. I was studying abroad in Paris, and had a monthly metro ticket, which at the time you were supposed to keep in a little folder that came with it, with a picture of you in the folder. I don’t know if they still have that, it’s been awhile,…

I was getting drunk on neat Bombay Sapphire straight out of a bottle on the South Bank, right near the Royal Festival Hall, stuck with the campesr of my then-husband’s friends while he snorted lines of coke somewhere nearish-by. Earlier in the day we’d blasted Howlin’ Wolf from the windows of our shitty flat in North…

Nat dont exactly “disappear” into her roles.

Great story. Something I did not know until I read the GQ piece is that Bourdain was an introvert who did not like big social settings, and needed someone he could lean on when he was surrounded by strangers. It sounds like that’s what you were able to do for him there.

Some of it. The thing he said that saved my life I’ve never shared with anyone, but I’ve talked about the rest of it and I know I’ve posted the picture of him and me together.

I’m still not over it. This man literally saved my life. He and I had a conversation late one night when I was in a dark place and something he said to me gave me enough to keep going. I just wish someone could have done the same for him. 

I would argue, respectfully, that the self-aggrandizing myths men tell each other—which are then accepted uncritically and enshrined in, say, the press as a matter of record—are among the most common ways men (and yes, people) consolidate their interests and protect each other, whether they know exactly what they’re…

It’s kinda amazing that this Beard award winning restaurant journalist never contemplated the illogic of Stanich’s story - that a restaurant would have to close because it was TOO popular and packed with paying customers. A restaurateur in that position who wants out of the business simply sells to someone else,…

It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…

Well, your thought contradicts every study done of the election.

this radical work of healing the deepest wounds on this earth

I wish that my three children didn’t require surgical intervention to enter the world. The havoc those C sections have wreaked on my back and abs can’t be overstated.

I usually just blow through the paranormal stories because they obviously aren't real, so I was saddened to read that every single story on here was fake. Boring!

This year, I’m pretty sure I became part of someone’s ghost story.

Thanks. I can’t even tell you how terrifying it was. I thought he was going to strangle me to death with that telephone cord. I still can’t handle anyone touching my neck. I try to present a very calm cool and collected I’ve-got-my-shit together demeanor at all times, but watching Dr. Ford testify in front of those…

Jesus Christ on a cracker. This is the scariest thing I have read today. I am so sorry this happened to you and applaud you were able to write it down and talk about it.
