At least it didn't happen in Tennessee. The deceased would be tried and imprisoned.

After reading this, I'm going North Korea and unplugging my internet tonight. Horrible.

Artful placement of sponsored content, Mr. Shrayber. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go buy a blood bag, a Lurlene McDaniels novel, and some snowman lollipops!

I am housebound because I badly sprained my ankle last week and then came down with pneumonia (unrelated, but felicitous timing). Additionally, my mother and 3 unemployed sisters decided to surprise-move from another state just in time for Christmas. I managed to help them find a rental house but they still don't have…

All I want to talk about now is the evil stepbitchmonster my dad married.

My dad and his girlfriend have a three month old baby. This summer he came to visit me to help with my recovery after surgery: a surgery where I wasn't sure if I would emerge from with one less ovary. Ovary kept, but I may have issue getting pregnant. Fine. Whatever. A week after the surgery my dad tells me that him…

Mark...you're a hero.

There's always money in the banana stand, too.

Yeah, I can testify that if your baby is crying on a plane, there's basically NOTHING that can be done. We didn't get the bulkhead seat because there were so many other babies on board that someone else beat us to it, and I'm sure for other passengers (especially those without children) that adds an element of "all…

I loved that you held your kid out to him and told him to do something about her. Mad respect.

Pfft, I am on the mother's side here.

I don't agree with much of this post, but it's so well written I'm going to ONLY read Kitchenette entries on Jezebel for the rest of the year.

You know, for all the work that goes into turning shiny wooden testicles into something vaguely resembling food, you'd figure they might taste good.

He proudly returned to his fellow Lords of the Flies and proclaimed, "Chuck E.'s a girl! And she's got tits like THIS!" making the (in)appropriate gesture most commonly associated with such a statement.

Because of Dave's story, I now know what the "H" stands for in Jesus' name. Thanks Dave!

I've opted for the yogurt (plain, Greek) treatment and in the case of a severe yeast infection it immediately provided relief from symptoms. I was asctually told to do this over the phone by a nurse practitioner when I couldn't come in for an exam and prescription but needed something ASAP. This is one of those things…

I have the same sort of opinion that you do regarding the "natural" phenomenon but depending on what specifically the author means here there are quite a few sort of folk remedy yeast infection treatments including the ones she mentioned that have been backed up by studies - boric acid in particular. Yet this is…

Our CJS really needs to step it up when it comes to taking measures to protect DV victims. It's absolutely not excusable. There is no reason why victims shouldn't be able to appear in court via skype or some other system. The steps that some states / counties require are absolutely mind boggling in their disregard for…
