I'm sorry to hear about your health and hope things are okay. But jesus, if we can put wedding planning in the same emotionally traumatic ballpark as cancer treatment... Culture is fucked up.

Do you ever listen to Sklarbro Country? The "County" episodes, where Daniel Van Kirk reads crazy stories (some of them have been posted here and on Gawker) and he and the Sklars riff on them, has had me LMAO to the point of tears on several occasions. Today I almost peed my pants while walking my dog, they're…

I would have loved to have been there. I have been known to whip out a prosthetic to show my tits from time to time. Very startling at Mardi Gras.

Well duh, I would never try to ding her brilliant acting. Just her singing, which is totally fair game since she's acting in a freakin' musical.

Yeah, but she seems to know her limits. She's not trying to belt it, and focusing more on acting the song than singing it. And don't even try to tell me she can't act.

Yeah, this is a non-story.

As someone with special needs, I can tell you that I would really not have liked to have a special needs princess. That stuff was escapism for me, so why would I want to see someone like myself?

well your point was also "these drugs are dangerous and you shouldn't take them because they might kill you." So, in a way, I'd say you have no business hawking no cancer treatment. You did not make the point about your doctor up top, you are adding it here.

Chemotherapy drugs are toxins, that's kind of the point.

Can we please not make definitive, inflammatory statements like

People without a family history don't need to run out and get BRCA testing.

They might be dead? THEY MIGHT BE DEAD?!

You hit the nail on the head. I am a recovering alcoholic myself (16 months sober!), so let me just add a quick addendum on your points with what I've experienced myself and what I've seen in others during my recovery.

While that may be partially true, I for one am tired of alcoholism being romanticised for the "artistically tortured". Or, maybe I am just tired of seeing various people throughout my life slowly kill themselves while the people around them either act like they are the "life of the party" or "tortured" and so deep.

There is no contradiction because I literally never said that. What I said is that I didn't care for a woman who thinks she "earned" the right to wear white and that white has something to do with morality when morality has nothing to do with inanimate objects. I said, and have always said, to each her own. There…

For the benefit of all moms, future moms, and happily child-free friends of moms, I will share the words of my amazing pediatrician when it became clear that breastfeeding was not going to work for me and my son despite my increasingly frantic efforts:

OK. She should not have flown, this was a failure on the part of the CDC in a humiliating and frightening fashion. Hindsight 20/20 and all that. But some of this is just blatantly contradicting the facts.

I would imagine that this nurse was given all manner of assurances by her employer that it was perfectly safe to be taking care of Duncan and that she had nothing to worry about. she called the CDC and they told her to go ahead and fly. in hindsight, it's easy to criticize, but when you are told over and over again by…

Wear what you want and be happy!

it actually IS sterile. urine is practically made of ammonia, which is frequently used in cleaning products themselves! the article even mentions urine's sterility.
