People who think that way are basically admitting that they’re permanently intellectually and emotionally 3 year olds. Small children should be the only people who do the right thing because of fear of punishment, instead of possessing actual morals like a normal, healthy adult.

I agree with you both. Lamictal is wonderful.

It’s basically tylenol + asprin + caffine, a.k.a. the three most effective OTC headache medicines mixed together. Lovely stuff.

Interesting, I never knew that! Those combinations have never given me a problem, but I also have a super high tolerance for most drugs.

Well, you might be right - but on the other hand, neck stiffness is actually a common migraine symptom. Really, the symptom list is massive (though typically no one person will have all of them), including weird things like constipation, craving sugar, or ringing in your ears.

Important safety tip - the triptans are a bad idea for those of us migraine sufferers who are on antidepressants.

They sound like migraines, actually. One sided, behind the eye, nausea, intense pain, and lasting for days are all common symptoms. The doctor should be able to say for sure, though.

I honestly didn’t even recognize her until this comment. I just thought she was a generic model.

students are asked to stand naked with the professor in a dark room lit only by candles.

I’m another picky eater who eventually realized that she was responding largely to texture. I can tolerate mushrooms these days, but only when they’re cooked into the dish enough that that I can’t really squish them in my teeth. And people look at me funny when I say that, yes, I hate the taste of chicken, but at…

I still to this day loathe all forms of chicken (aside from broth or stock), and I don’t expect that to ever change, and will never voluntarily put any into my mouth ever again.

Unless it’s some sort of very new federal rule, signing the dress code isn’t even close to universal across all school districts.

Don’t be ridiculous. Boys and girls are shaped differently, and that’s a far larger limiter as to what clothes you can buy than gender norms are. I haven’t been able to fit into a pair of shorts intended for males since I was 12 years old.

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Nice and crispy on the outside, soft and tasty on the inside. Think of it as a square shaped fried sausage with a smoother, nicer texture to the meat. Add a little bit of ketchup on top.

Wait, what? IANAP, but that didn’t sound right to me, so I polled both Google and my brother (who is a parent of a four year old). They agreed that, while your kid should be eating solids by 12 months, they should still be receiving at least some of their nutrition in liquid form. The only disagreement I saw was on…

Involuntary reaction to the surprise?

Personally, I think it’s a great stance for a father to take, though I’m probably influenced in that by my own ex-Catholic, semi-agnostic, semi-Buddhist father who did the same thing. :)

I’m told that many denominations actively discourage reading the Bible by the layperson, presumably so that they don’t accidentally develop their own opinions about anything written in it. (I’m not any variety of Christian myself and haven’t done the research, so I can’t swear that it’s true or know how many…

I’m aghast that you believe that these people have actually read and absorbed anything about their primary religious text, instead of mindlessly parroting whatever came out that their religion’s leaders’ mouths last Sunday.
