This gift is really not for me, but this is why I avoid social media. Everybody wants to be a critic. Growing up I was taught “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. While intellectual criticism is welcome, snark and particularly death threats is just odious. I feel like people should ask…

my late grandma was a widow very early on. She received numerous marriage proposals over the years and denied everyone of them and then just stopped dating all together, while still pretty young. I will never forget her words on why “I like doing what I want, when I want” which is true all marriage is, is one big…

Can we talk about the good things?

Lol I couldn’t contain myself in my meeting when I read “clotting disorder”

I’m a graduate student in the physical sciences at madison and let me tell you....the politicians have ran this school into the ground. In the last 2 years 6 professors in our department have left sighting the political reasons

So not true I drive on UW campus all the time. I usually leave the department early and come back around 4:30 when they stop checking the meters and parking lots. 2 of 3 of my roommates have cars. Only I have a bike.

you know what? I would rather give a great gift than receive one. I get so much joy out of picking out some one the perfect gift.

I’m in Minnesota ! It is fairly snowy here, but our new house has an electric driveway (ooooh yeah)! I made some new friends in my new city who are going through their first winter. I think it is quite a shock how cold it can get up her; I hope to take them sledding/tubing soon. The snow can be fun!

if they aren’t in graduate school they don’t get it! “what do you do again?”

although I can’t relate as I’m still in graduate school and not ready yet I will have a long arduous road to parenthood as well because I have endometriosis. You are not the only one!! Stay strong!

I seriously shave my legs for no one. I’m not a hairless cat!!! Please let me take care of myself the way I see fit.

NO ONE LIKES YOU HALLMARK

my coworker thought dim sum was the mandarin word for chopsticks.

OMG I saw that when I was in Nola, too! We were in public and I started Fa-reaking out, needless to say my naive reaction made my never-show-emotions in-public husband extremely uncomfortable. “Just play it off like it is normal, I know, I know we would never do that in the north”

ya’ll totally forgetting its sarah michelle gellar.

I don’t understand why people are less than enthused about this. As a Minnesotan, this and the MN house set rep that was elected have been some small wins in an otherwise abysmal year. I don’t watch pagents but she looks happy and freaking awesome. If this is what she wants to do with her life I will support her all…

So someone in the frank sinatra camp claims he can’t be his kid because he had a vasectomy but I feel like he is so unequivocally his son I think they are just claiming that for monetary (or unknown) reasons.

Former patient of Dr. Tiller’s here. I really don’t know what my life would be like today without him and his clinic. Thank you for bringing this documentary to my attention!

THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. My abortion doctor was murdered in church only a month after I saw him. Due to the his expertise in a certain kind of procedure, patients came from all over the US, myself included. To make matters worse, the clinic was never able to reopen. He was an excellent doctor and I owe my life to him.
