Also, natural sugar from fruit along with the fiber it contains, is not the same as from table sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

That sounds like a great tip! How long would you recommend soaking the almonds?

Do you agree with the idea of attending a wedding and not giving a gift is rude?

I can see your point, but attending a wedding without bringing a gift is more than tacky, it’s downright rude. I agree with the OP that the money you are asking for should be towards a goal i.e. honeymoon fund. Another option would be to provide links to online giftcards like Amazon or Bed Bath and Beyond on your…

Regarding the potential 2nd form of ID when flying domestically, there is an Update. According to Ars Technica

Agreed. Christmas is an official national holiday in the US. You don't have to be Christian to celebrate.

It has always baffled me why many students feel the need to preface their question with “This may be a dumb question...”. I agree with you that students should be encouraged to ask any question that is related to the topic being discussed. The idea that a question may be “dumb” discourages students from asking…

Carousel was a flop. Dropbox background photo uploading probably suffices for most user’s needs. The Mailbox shutdown is a little more of a surprise though.

That’s good to hear. And yes, it was often a discussed topic that breeched babies can turn on their own. There are even some maneuvers that can be performed in an office setting to try to get the baby to turn around. It doesn’t always work though. Happy to hear that you were given the choice.

I’m happy to hear that despite the scary moments with your child’s delivery that the baby was born healthy. However, it is not necessarily the case that the moment something was amiss, that you would have been sent for c-section. I’ve seen maneuvers that OBs have used to unwrapped the cord in similar situations to…

Thanks for sharing your experience regarding your wife’s care. And in answer to the point about Vitamin K shots. Vitamin K is necessary for many blood clotting factors, so that you don’t bleed excessively. Bacteria in our colon’s naturally make Vitamin K. However, the bacteria in a newborn’s colon is not as mature,…

I agree that wherever a birth is being performed, it is a good idea to have immediate access to an OB-GYN if needed. I also think there is a lot of truth to a shift from a paternalistic view in medicine in general, even outside of OB-GYN. As a younger generation of physicians are coming in, medical schools and…

I would imagine being put NPO (nothing by mouth) would be in case the need for a C-section or another emergency procedure arose. I’m not 100% on that, but that would be my guess.

I did not state that what I observed was true in all hospitals. I was only sharing my experience and challenging some of the author’s assertions, which in her article, she did not cite a whole lot of evidence to back up. I think in her reply to my original comment, she stated as much. I am pleased that this article…

As a matter of full disclosure, I did state in my comment that my observations were based on my 1 month experience. I did not assert that this holds true for every hospital. However, I don’t quite see how arguing a contrary point is equated to condescension.

I do think you have a point about teaching hospitals. And…

As someone who recently finished a one month rotation at a teaching hospital for OB, I have to strongly disagree with many of the author’s assertions. I think the assumption that most physicians practice in the manner in which the author describes are inaccurate and I question what evidence the author had in making…

How often do you really need to floss in order to protect your teeth and gums against infection?

Just to add a note on eFax you can have them email you a copy of the fax as an attachment, and then open it in the eFax messenger app. From there, if you want to print the fax, you can print to a PDF printer for free. I’ve been using this service for years, since I maybe receive 5 faxes per year.

It’s terrible to see that people were injured and I hope that the rider’s gf successfully recovers. I’m curious to learn why the 2nd motorcyclist was filming in the first place?
