Totally got that from the office sex between Brittany Snow’s character and the guy she hooks up with. His line of “I mean, if you want me to stop, I will stop” is verrry of the moment. Not saying that consent should not be a thing! Just it was a bit too on the nose.

I have heard that the before thing is not a good idea, as you need something to actually pee out after...depending on how long the sex session is and what you drank before, I am guessing that your body wouldn’t process too great an amount of liquid to excrete?

That is super awesome for you! The tests I was referring to are highly specialized and seem to be for those who are sure there is a bacterial issue but where doctors tell them it’s “all in your head” and they feel they have no other options. I have a colleague who has persistent infections, and I read about the biology…

Hi! Congrats on finding relief! I wonder, via what testing method did your doctor discover the UTI? I have read a lot about how standard tests often result in false negatives for various reasons (too high bacterial threshold etc) and found some labs that do extensive testing, but are insanely expensive (app. $1000 for…

She was not a study abroad student. Also, judging by her mother’s name, she was possibly of Dutch descent and very likely had a Dutch passport which entitled her to domestic tuition which is something like 2000 EUR/yr for a top-notch university. All those things aside, your comment is ignorant. Young people in…

No one actually does this, and we don’t actually want to be you, don’t worry.

Yes, me too. I have lived abroad for the last decade and I have never in my life been treated in any way badly when I speak (generically accented American English which sounds vaguely Euro) or tell people where I am from in the US. I don’t like to give out personal information and where I live, the Uber drivers are…

Ugh total same for me!!!!!!

I caught a very old episode of L&O: SVU a few weeks back and was shocked to see Mariska Hargitay rockin’ a wrap shirt that showed a sliver of tummy. Obviously that was before they knew Olivia Benson would be HBIC one day.

This. Technically I am allergic to casein and am meant to stay away from dairy, but allergy or no, milk repulses me. For whatever odd reason, I decided to try to eat cottage cheese because I read it was high in protein and I almost vomited bringing the first spoonful to my mouth. Needless to say that was chucked in…

I just recently left a job that I was VERY good at, because I was working in a “Mean Girls: Live!” office and neither the director nor assistant director cared 2 fucks about it, though they knew alllll of what was up. I worked in a country where employees on permanent contracts can only be fired by government order…

Superb. Say it again—SUPERB.

Duuuude me too! No period for eight years. It is AMAZING. Everyone who knows about it loves to spout their medical opinion telling me it’s dangerous (though my doc approves it) but then when you tell them the bleed you get while on the pill is “fake” anyway, they are like....oh...so no cramps, PMS, bloating?

Considering their basketball success of late, they have a LOT of positive press (at least in certain circles). Jesuits don’t really go in for being edgy, know what I mean?

Not all the students are rich kids. I am an alum of Loyola, mostly thanks to the grants I got from them and the great corrupt state of IL.

Consider that it is a popular and lovely name in Russia and eastern European countries and people there certainly don’t associate it w the character. I worked with a woman named Daria in one of the aforementioned countries and the only reason she knew about it was because an American once told her. None of her friends…

Haha Miguel in the movie, not Miguel singing with Natalia!

Ugh all this. I rented it to see what all the fuss was about and I ended up buying it. I was either crying my eyes out or smiling the entire time, mostly crying! And even now after watching the clip with Miguel and Coco singing a million times, his sweet little voice breaking just sends me over the edge! And Natalia…

*about HOW she died. Correction to my other comments

I consider myself a big fan and yet had no idea about that! I went to the Eva Peron museum in Buenos Aires and was struck by how they completely gloss over her actual death.....they talk about what a stellar activist she was, what she gave to the kids, all her service, etc, and then you go to the next room and...she…
