Probably because the Jewish population is significantly smaller, most of the Jewish population in Chicago is in the suburbs. Most school districts nationwide are NOT closed for Jewish holidays.

Ah, yes. Now if I can just find one of those....

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to style my hair so that it demonstrates the acceptable traits. Usually I just throw it up in a messy ponytail, so clearly I need to work on my carelessness and impatience. Down is probably not submissive enough and may also show lack of discipline bc I never style it, just…

No, it is not.

Thanks!

Coconut oil?! Brilliant! I always make mine on the stovetop too but usually with canola or grapeseed oil. Am totally switching to this instead.

Also, personally: I hate Nike's for running. They never fit right and hit my feet in all the wrong places. If I was told I HAD to run in them for literally the most important race of my life, I'd be PISSED.

To be fair, it's quite a difficult concept! I mean, not revolving around only me and all.

Bwhahahaha! So hearted.

Didn't you know? All fetuses ACTUALLY develop looking like itty-bitty kingcake babies FROM CONCEPTION!! This is an actual depiction of abortion-clinic medical waste!

Oh yes. I won a pro-life essay contest in 5th grade at my tiny Christian school.

(I also may be influence by working in hospitals for the past 10 years where artificial nails are a violation of the infection control policies, and by the fact that if I manage to go more than one day with a manicure without chipping it I consider an effing…

There are a lot of deadly natural "chemicals" as well.... 5 out of the 7 most deadly chemical compounds are "natural." (fun science lesson here! http://www.rsc.org/images/NaturalNotes_tcm18-115179.pdf)

You should definitely write and ask her what she recommends! Since, CLEARLY, she has lots of medical experience and can probably offer up lots of effective alternatives!! Perhaps she would be willing to also pray for your uterus.

Ok, but this article is talking about AMERICAN gymnasts, not ALL Olympians. And unfortunately, being born black in America still means that you are subject to a hell of a lot of systemic, institutionalized socio-economic and cultural issues that put you at a greater disadvantage when it come to having access to the…

Ha! Love it. Most of the Catholic weddings I've been to (note: not many) have had chairs for the wedding party and the bride and groom. Which, while brilliant, always makes me die a little on the inside.
