And that’s the difference in this case. There aren’t victims who have come forward to point this out. I would believe those people. But rumors-only doesn’t really grab me. Example: in Bill Cosby’s case and Tiger Woods and pretty much everyone in that type of scandal, there were victims who came forward. (Tiger Woods…

Replying late, but thank you! This was super helpful!

All of my GP offices have had x-ray equipment and so on. In the last few years (I’d say within the last 8 years) quick orthopedic-only clinics have sprung up all over my city. But prior to that, you’d have to hit up your GP and then head to the hospital for x-rays.

Thread up. And if you look that one up, you’ll find others. I haven’t done this before, but I distantly know a people who’ve sold things that way. Good luck!

I don’t know enough about the law to advise you on how to report this and make it record, but I do know about going far back in time to report someone who was mistreating someone else. So I’m here in solidarity!

Get a full hormone panel test done. Here’s what to request: get your estrodial levels checked, progesterone, and testosterone (both free and total). Also get your thyroid levels checked (expecially your free T3 and free T4). Also know that when you have this done, depending on your age, doctors tend to be very…

I remember your comment from last week, and I hate to hear that you white knuckled your way through the week rather than saw a doc right away. You are in charge of your own body, but is there a reason you didn’t head to an urgent care or an ER and chose to white knuckle it instead? (The cost of medical help in the U.S…

You sound a lot like me (side hustles that are a hodge podge) - here’s a question: how do you brand yourself when you have your hands in so many pots? My offerings are so diverse that I’m not quite sure how to refer to myself/brand myself.

Let me just say congratulations! Hoping that eventually you will hear this phrase from many more people! It sounds like you’re in a really good place, and I’m happy for you!

I did not contribute to that thread but I was shot at in real life in a nice suburban area. Multiple shots, by a total stranger who just wanted to shoot random people and I was unlucky enough to be the next person that happened along. I don’t want to say what age I was or what area I was in because I want to keep this…

I think it’s okay to be scared of neighborhoods where they sell heroin. Without going into a lot of details, my husband worked in an area where they sold lots of drugs and had the random murder here and there. It’s okay to not feel all cozy and comfortable just because other non-murdering non-drug users live in that…

Because they’re not walking around all poopy all the time. They use toilet paper and continue to wipe until it comes back blank. Not that I don’t love a bidet, because I do. But to assume that not having one means you’re a poopy mess is just plain misinformed.

It’s a huge no for me and my friends. I’m happily married, but my single female friends have had countless interactions with guys who lied about their age, and that pretty much ends any relationship prospect right there. The age isn’t the issue, the lying is the issue. And the insecurity that caused the lie. It’s just…

“Calm down” pisses me off so much too, because it’s frequently said to a woman who is acting very calmly, but is just disagreeing with the male who said it. It enrages me. You want to see a woman NOT be calm, tell her to calm down when she’s already calm. And I think that’s the whole point. To create and cause chaos…

Love that movie and can attest to the fact that it still holds up.

I saw the Sixth Sense in the theater on opening night, so no one spoiled the twist (no one was even looking for a twist), and it was quite an intense experience (but in a fun, wow-we’re-all-freaked-at-the-same-time kind of way). There was an audience-wide gasp when we realized what was up with Bruce Willis. But again,…

Yes. While it’s great that Bordain is currently sticking up for women on twitter, he has been known to take shots at other celebrities (who are not on trial. Example: He took shots at Rachel Ray’s cooking in a really unnecessary way. And he’s done that to multiple people. Which is just unnecessary, it’s not like he…

It’s long been proven that it doesn’t matter what a woman looks like, it’s just about power (or making them feel like shit). Example: at the time (1990's), Pamela Anderson was an icon of beauty with the general public, yet multiple boyfriends and husbands cheated on her. It really just does not matter.

I can’t believe Jez hasn’t reported yet on Kelly Clarkson’s latest interviews (within the last several weeks) talking about Dr. Luke in detail and what an a-hole he is/was. I mean, there’s so much material! I think her interview with Z100 is where she really let loose.

One of my very close friends and I have been discussing the “island plan” for quite some time. I was almost like, “is that you, friends-name?” But then I looked at your (very gorgeous) artwork, and realized you are two different people. But still! I applaud your fantasy solution.
