I agree with the others advising speed. we only waited two weeks to give his parents time to buy plane tix and get time off. they, and his sister, were our only guests at the courthouse. i made my own dress. no flowers. pics on a tripod. reception at beloved pizzeria. done. for $220.

I never, ever fantasized about a wedding. My man and i were together for 7 years when I had a near death experience for the second time in my life and decided we should get married. I went and got a license, and since his parents insisted on being there, we gave them two weeks to make travel arrangements. that gave me…

Reading that I see my wording wasn’t very good. Thanks for seeing my point. I agree about small studies; it’s a symptom of a larger problem. There isn’t a strong enough grasp of the concepts and rigors to adequately assess the strength, plausibility or impact of a study, and when it isn’t science but instead, opinion.

I work in molecular biology research, and over the course of my life i feel like we’ve gotten incredibly technologically advanced, while simultaneously building a culture that is distrustful of intelligence and skeptical of science. it’s built a bizarre system where people are constantly expecting very big things,…

Probably because victims of this crime are usually women

they train people like that in the military- not to escalate a conflict by raising your weapon, only raise it when you intend to fire. but from what i know about police, all they do, trained or otherwise, is escalate sht

like so many others, i loved Anna Karenina, and ended up reading War and Peace after.. it turned out to be a really great book

that wasn’t -my- point. and to answer your question, of course not.

Ben Carson may be a neurosurgeon (and a talented one according to plenty of people) but please, don’t call him a scientist. He doesn’t seem to have a very good grasp of science outside of human anatomy and his specialty or the scientific method.

reminds me of Ross “3 divorces” Geller

I’m sad for the future of this country; i have plans to leave and hopefully never come back

absolutely! since when is it a good idea to teach kids that the way we deal with conflict is violence, and that every disruptive kid should leave school with a record? simply teribble.

I'm getting mirena put in this December. My nurse practitioner told me, once I'd said I was definitely doing it, it's the most popular form of BC among gynos. Now I'm wondering why I didn't do this a long time ago.

potatoes and carrots are good because they can be cooked in so many different ways and don’t go bad very quickly. if you know how to use tofu, that is another extremely versatile ingredient. i’d also add lentils, just because they are so nutritious, cheap, and can be cooked quickly from dried.

an arrest has actually been made in this case!

I was a serial monogamist for a long time, and I know from experience how difficult long distance relationships are. I also know how hard it is to break up with someone you’re still in love with for the sake of your own well-being. It takes time to get over, but it does get a lot easier, slowly at first but it…

He was my local [okay] mayor, then my [not-so-great-but-not-conservative] governor, and now just annoying, like a kid at the grown-ups’ table. I wouldn’t vote for him in the booth or in bed.

I was at the American Society for Human Genetics 2015 Conference the other day. Someone brought their baby. All day. For four days. No one had any problem with it.

TMI, Goop!

indeed. i’m relieved to see other people confronted the attacker. kudos to them and i hope for speedy recoveries. i have no faith in the bmore popo tho... i have doubts that what passes for an investigation around here will lead to anything meaningful. hopefully they prove me wrong.
