My mother said the same thing after her cataract surgery.

As someone who's going in for cataract surgery in a week, and is a little freaked though I know I shouldn't be, this might have been the wrong article for me to be reading at 5:00A.M. But, well done, as usual.

Unless I'm misreading you, this isn't about whether or not measles causes autism, but the death of this girl from measles. Or unless you're actually claiming that the vaccine causes autism, which has been disproved.

Because you're the one making claims, not me.

Provide peer-reviewed scientific studies that support your point.

What.all.the.fucks? I just...I'm just...good grief. And it's looks like there are balls on the bottom of that tongue. The more I look at it, the more horrific it becomes. This is wrong on so many levels it passes human comprehension. Or at least mine, at any rate.

These people are perfect examples of confirmation bias. And also, morons.

They are perfect examples of confirmation bias. And also, morons.

I loved it, too. And they deserved his contempt for acting like assholes toward him for the last six years. Pricks.

God, I had to stop watching it because the costuming was so bad. All the gowns looked like bad prom dresses. Also, the acting was bad. So, so bad.

I said this upthread. What is it with people not washing hands n the kitchen? Damn, wash them after handling raw chicken, too.

Well, I could be going out on a limb here, but I think her point is that no one can sing anything perfectly every time. And that she's finally gotten the the point of realizing that and has realized it's defeating to beat yourself up when you occasionally do fail.

This was a live performance. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but this kind of shit happens during live performances. I've heard her sing this song before. And this is the first time I've heard her be even close to being out of tune. And in this case, the cold weather was the likely culprit.

There's a lot of reasons a meal might cost that much. First is the skill of the chef and the quality of the ingredients. Second is the level of service and the ambiance. Third, the pair of wines and other kinds of alcohol with each course.

Yep. As in losing its resilience and pink youthiness. But estrogen cream is the shit.

I'm the same age as Madonna: 56. Frankly, at 56, I'm an old lady. It's cool. I'm in the youth of my old age. I will say, I'm tired of the level of photoshop on her. Showing lines and wrinkles would be more rebellious than that poreless perfection. (Yeah, I went there.)
