Oh, man, I had scarlet fever as a kid (along with something else...). I don't remember how it felt, but I remember my mom's fear as she took me to the pharmacy. She was afraid I would go blind. I had strep throat constantly as a kid, I hated it. My mom is also an antivaxxer (happened later in my childhood.) So now I…

Aw man! That's awful! I had a boyfriend refuse to take me to the hospital when I was having a worse than expected allergic reaction. Luckily I was okay, but I was a little scared for a bit. I wish I could say I dumped him after that night, but I didn't.

Same thing happened to me, except he waited a week and the excuse was that I was 'depressing' or something. Funny how he didn't think of that previous to reading an email from my mom mentioning my assault.

I have a few party guests who love my cat, and sometimes need a break from the party, we we're always sure to tell the guests where the cat room is, and where the cat toys are!

I didn't even notice he was shorter.

I'm 5'6" (f) and can confirm that someone the same height can be pretty hot.

I feel like this. I feel a ridiculous need to make sure my texts/IMs/whatever have a cheerful tone. And then I feel embarrassed when it all has !!!

Have you seen Saving Face? It's about a doctor and a ballerina.

This is cute! She's going to recognize him when she's born. My dad did the same thing, and when a nurse was holding me, my dad was talking somewhere else, and I turned and looked at him (or so I'm told.)

My little brother is also a 20-year old V-bac. I didn't realize they were uncommon.

I think Oregon State University does this every year. http://www.gazettetimes.com/news/local/rifle-giveaway-closes-second-amendment-week-at-osu/article_deb9e5e6-6733-11e0-bc13-001cc4c002e0.html
