Why the F is he still having rallies? Do the trumpers not realize that’s odd?

Would if I could— can’t because of work. Not a testing thing, it’s worse than that.

You have a permanent tension headache from your Botox? Is this headache not going to go away?

Yea I’m going to tell my daughter, who is going to get her first period any day now, to take it only if the pain feels like you really can’t function- and not everyone even gets that. Trouble is when you’re so young and healthy, any pain is like OMG what is happening!!??!! Now I would be like, oh, it seems my lower…

Such great advice. I would 100% do that for my various back/neck issues (and weird mild chronic pain that seems sort of like fibromyalgia but isn’t, maybe) but I can’t because of work. I’ve suggested it to others though.

Can confirm. I took it for cramps that I would never take anything for now. I had been led to believe that I needed to take something the minute any sort of pain came on (I never had the really bad kind). I also took it for sinus headaches, regular headaches, and later for back pain. Then one day I felt super…

Aren’t those board members and not CEOs? Usually a CEO doesn’t have other jobs as a CEO, but can be on boards of other stuff. We’re a much smaller company— a 4K employee science think thank— but our current and former CEOs work/ed a good 12+ hours a day and travel almost every week.

All the while muttering about getting the government out of our lives, sending money back to the states, and making things easier for businesses. Without regard to the fact that none of this will help them in the slightest, and the net result is a total decimation of everything they know as society.

Yea I’m probably halfway there already— no sweetened drinks, eat tons of fruit and veg, and I meal plan (we’re old, with kids, so it’s not like a takeout and pizza lifestyle). I still eat rice, a little cheese, and all the beans I feel like though because I don’t believe them on that one.

I got sick in Mexico, too— also a true virus! It was mainly respiratory. I think it might have been the flu. I got home but was sick for like 2 weeks. This was in college though. We brought antibiotics to Thailand, but obviously that wouldn’t help a virus.

Oy god. Googling that is totally something I would do, too.

Maybe the toilet paper? We had to switch to thinner paper for awhile because my son would wad up giant amounts of it no matter what we told him. I have heard that the bile from vomit wrecks pipes though. God can you imagine what it does to your throat and your teeth.

Yes! I get that middle of the night thing after eating (and drinking) too much. Usually really have to go to the bathroom, too. I’ve been more careful about what I eat and how much, even at those nice dinners. I love kombucha— I’ve been subbing it for wine a couple days a week and it’s actually a decent substitute…

I had it twice in Turkey, first time mild, probably just something disagreed with me. Second time must have been e.coli or samonella and I was in real trouble. I was fine in Thailand last year, but we were super cautious— handwashing, hand sanitizer, probiotics, and avoiding raw unpeeled or sketchy food. Headed to…

All they hear is “regulation bad for business. Business makes jobs for me, and I might have a business. So regulation bad.” It’s totally disconnected from thoughts like, we should protect the environment or make sure workers at the chicken plant aren’t pulverized in machines.

The person who told me this has kids at my kids’ school, and is utterly incensed that the school won’t provide completely customized education for her kid, who she claims has Asperger’s but the school doesn’t believe her. So, to recap, taxes bad, gold-plated public education for her gifted and slightly high strung…

I think that comes from puking, which I don’t think she did. She was very controlled with her ED. Just pooping a lot shouldn’t break the toilet, should it?

Yes, very likely. Very literal and black/white in their thinking.

Definitely. My BFF in college would periodically go get this mega blowout laxative at the drugstore and take it. In between she would binge eat.

Yea this idea that weight loss from diarrhea is somehow healthy, or even real weight loss, is so ridiculous. It almost comes right back.
