This is a known problem. Part of the problem is that calories are traditionally measured by burning food and measuring how much energy it takes to get the food to boil water (basically, it operates under the assumption humans are steam engines).

I laughed so hard when my sister phoned to tell me he died cause there wasn’t a neurosurgeon to save him.

Hmm, good call.

Very interesting article... however I have a minor issue with this statement:

I read somewhere (possibly on jezebel) that women who never marry are happier in later life than those that do. This reassured me greatly.

My husband passed away when i was 39 from ALS. Our marriage wasnt the best and wasnt the worst either. But I will not lie and say I could be happier. I AM happier today, not because he died but because I realized that I can and have survived without him. This sounds cold but the things I was told during my marriage…

I grew up around a lot of really old people. Some of them had been married forever. Almost every woman I had known was a stay at home mom, a nurse, or teacher. But all of them were married. Not all of them were happy. Divorce was still a little scandalous. And once these ladies’ husbands died either through heart…

Relationships are overrated, unless you happen to be in the lucky minority that has found a truly compatible mate. It has greatly simplified my life and reduced stress to see people when I choose to see them rather than have them up in my grill 24/7.

It's not minor- pregnancy puts a lot of strain on your body, and it's important that women are able to recuperate before putting themselves under that strain so closely over and over again, to avoid negative health outcomes down the line.

So, his family can only vote for Hillary over his dead body?

This isn’t about wearing short skirts or something, this is doctors giving medical advice about women allowing their bodies to recover.

We saw each other at Comic Con and just kind of stared at one another for a good minute. Then the entire booth he was working at kinda stopped and everyone started pointing and laughing. I swear I have no brother. My father did have some explaining to do however... I’m the one on the... fuck, I can’t even tell…

my dad did it a few times. once he did it in a shopping center. first he picked up my brother and dangled him over the edge of the 2nd floor open area thing. my brother laughed and so my dad did it to me next - no warning just picked me up and leaned me over. I screamed so loudly and squirmed so much he nearly dropped…

Yes, he should’ve said, “Hey, don’t dangle our child over a the cheetah pit!”

Might be part of the problem.

I don’t understand why parents feel the need to dangle their kids over dangerous places. Seriously, people stop doing that because you keep dropping them.

Recently went cold turkey after my libido took a nosedive (100% apathy towards sex for the last like, 6-8 months after years of using birth control and having a perfectly healthy sex drive). I’m pretty pleased with the results. I can get wet again! YES! My eyes don’t glaze over every time my bf tries to flirt with me!…

After going off the pill I DID go to the ER during my first ovulation because I was convinced my appendix was going to explode.
