Has he tried the lactaid pills? My lactose intolerance is mild so I mostly stick to dairy that I know I can handle and regulate my intake. But I sometimes do use the pills to try and offset things like ice cream if I've already hit my limit. I'm also intolerant to mayo and shellfish and likely something else I haven't…

I can't speak to the automotive industry but I can speak to how entitled attitudes intereact with your (entirely reasonable) plan. I used to work for a company that was in oil and gas service which did a lot of business with dry camps. We had a strict drug/alcohol policy in order to keep those clients as most of the…

Your story reminds me of my last university boyfriend who was both sweet but extremely naive about periods. He'd caught a glimse of my end of period blood - the brown dregs- and silently freaked out and called his mom (in England!) to ask if he was right to be worried. But he didn't tell her it was menstruation…

Not specifically since there are two of us in my family and only one has a problem with cavaties. We've noticed a trend though that the firstborn often gets the healthiest teeth and the others are screwed. I just happen to be both redheaded and the eldest, yeah!

Daniel Radcliffe sounds so hot in this movie but I'm super creeped out right now. Should I see it or not?! Angst!

Wow, I mean I hate Harper but not THAT much.

*sympathises* my tim horton's gift card is now only useful as a windsheild scraper. but, there is on in penn station in NYC!

Interesting arguement but do you have a source? I'm finding it slightly hard to believe that is a legitimate historical reason since genetics, especially knowledge of X and Y chromosones, is a heck of a lot more recent than male-preference primogeniture.

I hadn't heard about native women in Alberta, only women with mental disabilities or diseases. I wish I could say that it surprises me to hear of it though. Did you husband mention the name of the program or where he heard it? I'd like to read more.

Sounds like he is instead, based on the passage someone quoted above.

I just hope that you never experience an irate smoker following you around and screaming at you for daring to move away from the place they just blew the smoke into your face so you could use said inhaler. That jackass cornered me, still smoking, and yelled at me for trampling his rights while my airways constricted…

Thank god for rat control, but unfortunately Alberta isn't without cockroaches. In Edmonton there's an apartment building on 119 near the Whitemud that's been infested for decades - it used to be part of the U of A's housing as I understand. Now it's Boardwalk and when my friends lived there, the suckers went to two…

You learn something new every day! I'll have to ask if my Dad's ever been called that - he and his older sister were both born in the same year!

"Also, you should be washing your bras after wearing them twice." Hahaha! I'm busting a gut over here. Seriously, is she getting kick backs from zero?

We'll have to agree to disagree because I think dressing up as a Christmas Tree sounds adorable! Maybe with some mistltoe coming out the bak to catch people with. I really need to write down these ideas I keep getting from Jezebel so I'm not stuck trying to think of something next October...

Oh God, I just had a classmate tell me that homosexuality doesn't exist "naturally" in Africa because men are "real men" there. He claims it was imported by the west. "apples don't grow in Liberia" is how he phrased it.

Just a little thought from your friendly Canadian comedy band.

I'm not one to attribute unknown things to supernatural phenomena (like my TV suddenly turning on) but have a strong respect for the power of the subconscious. I've read that many "haunted" places actually have sounds that are below the human auditory register but are at the same decibal range as something like a…

If you live in the UK then the cost may not be so prohibitive like it may be in the states. I'm in Canada so they are called athletic therapists and by a quick google search I think they may be called sports rehabilitators in the UK.

caveat: I know my reccomendation may be expensive (if not covered under your health plan - but ask since mine did under the physiotherapy allotment) or not available in all areas.
