I heard a depressing report about elephant poaching on the radio a few weeks ago. In it, they stated that one of the most difficult things in tackling it is that most poachers of elephants are opportunistic militant groups from other places (Sudan in the particular report).

I think Delta should be commended for hiring flight attendants of various sizes, as it's the only airline I've flown that I've seen male & female flight attendants that represented body diversity. That being said, I have (on more than one Delta flight) had flight attendants who were so much bigger than the average…

Yeah. I want those earrings.

My dad wanted to name me Martha, which my mom thought was too "old." She was hoping to name me Crystal, which my dad thought was too "could you imagine being named after a type of glass!?"

I understand the feeling better part- I didn't find out I had celiac until I was in my late 20's. Securing all of the tests and everything came after years of doctors treating me like I was a total nut job. Needless to say, eliminating gluten has been lifechanging for my gut & my immune system. But, I've never…

I still can't figure out how a non-celiac gluten sensitivity is even diagnosed. The tools used for finding Celiac wouldn't indicate a sensitivity- it was more of a yes (intestinal damage + "positive " blood test) or no answer from the gastro. Who tells someone they have a sensitivity? Or is it a diagnosis of…

Wasn't Sandy Springs actually Atlanta before incorporation, which wasn't too long ago?

I thought I saw a Love Shack or Starship the last time I drove through Sandy Springs. Maybe she's wanting to get her sex toys at a pharmacy instead of a "novelty " shop?

Next year, in my district, a segment of teacher evaluations will be based on student surveys of their interpretation of the teacher's performance. I'm not expecting great reviews from the kids I've "forced" to do class activities and take tests. I'll probably lose a few points from the kid who was pissed I wouldn't…

You don't sound old. I hear teenagers say the same sort of things about one another all the time. All ages are acutely aware of current trends in teenage violence. (Edit: which are lowering, apparently- but have greater exposure).

I came here to say the same thing. It seems, anecdotally, that many with chronic health problems try dietary changes like vegetarian diets to see if they help.

I guess my bartender was generous? But both times I had a jägerbomb, it was red bull/vodka with a shot of jäger, better than vodka alone.

I had to pause at 56 to let you know I love this so much. Thank you!

Haven't you heard? Mothers are technically doing at least 8 people's jobs (ranging from facilities manager to CEO), and deserve to be paid well into the millions annually for it. According to a much shared FB group post.

My baby brother was obsessed with this stuff, and I had to take a picture when I saw an old Coke machine at the antique mall.

You are strong to have survived uterine cancer. And, it's great you have such a high survivability prediction & that you're working to prevent its return. I'm hoping it stays away for you.

If you can find a hopped dry cider, it's the closest thing I've tasted to my years ago memory of beer (so probably not much like beer, but good).

I don't have kids, so have no direct experience. But, I have a close friend and know of others who used Ferber method & ended up with well adjusted toddlers.

As demonstrated in the Losing My Religion video?
