YOU GUYS!!!! You guys, you guys, you guys, you guys. Last week I posted about wanting to adopted a cap but being scared. Many of you replied (specifically Angelina Scarangella, elphabaskywalker and colorisnteverything). Well....after much research and a few visits to the Anticruelty Society, I found the cat of my…

You're right...I used to volunteer with my church at a weekly breakfast for the homeless. My church was a good church. I do see the worst of people while escorting, but I also don't think it's bad for me, because I feel good helping others (which I obviously learned from being raised in a church!).

Thank you, and I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom as well. It's so awful how...loss, especially of a parent, is a natural part of life that just can't really be described.

Thanks for your reply. I tend to forget that being raised in a church (and a good on at that!) has helped shape the person I am today, even if I no longer believe.

I guess my problem, as a 'new' atheist, is that I feel like I just discovered the truth. And I want to go out there and shake people who believe in god and say 'why don't you get it???' and that's where I feel disrespectful, because I believed for so long. It's almost like a weird moral superiority for me now, like…

See...I think that's what kept me 'trying' at religion for so long...the morality of it. While I don't believe in god anymore, I do believe in the golden rule, aka treat others how you want to be treated. I also feel like now that I've come to terms with no afterlife, I want to live my life even better - this is the…

THIS IS TOTALLY MY PLAN! I want to go to a shelter and wait to see which cats approach me. I really want a cat that wants a lot of attention, so I need one that likes me. I also have no desire to raise a kitten (they are completely heart-melting, but I want to adopt a cat that has less of a shot at finding a home, and…

Eucerin!!! Super sensitive/noncomedigenic, with an SPF of 30, I believe.

I need more advice. Or just to vent. As some of you know, I'm a clinic escort, and 99.999% of the protesters are Christian (specifically Catholic) and use their faith as a reason to harass women.

Thanks! I plan on adopting an adult cat, and will definitely look into Ragdolls. Also, I prefer pictures of people's pets over their children, so...an animal is for me!

Thanks so much for the reassurance!! Where in Chicagoland are you from? I grew up in the SW burbs but as soon as I turned 18 (11 long years ago...) I moved to the city and never looked back.

WHAT? I CAN'T EVEN THIS IS JUST STUPID I DON'T GET IT.

Ahh me too! I actually made myself a spit cup so that I wouldn't have to swallow my saliva! The ER felt the swelling was bad enough to admit me...and like you, the steroids were o-mazing for me. My dr had prescribed me some but apparently they were not strong enough!

I need advice. I'm a dog person, but I've met a few cats in my lifetime that are as friendly as dogs. So...for the past few years I've been thinking about adopting a cat. Why? I love pets, and I live alone in an apartment in Chicago. I dont have enough time/resources/support to have a dog. The urge is getting…

Bahahaha, when my doctor thought I had an allergy, I spent the whole weekend making out with the boy and saying "it's an allergy...I'm not contagious!"

MY doctor told me I had an allergy and sent me to an allergist, who sent me to an ENT before I was diagnosed. Thanks to that doctor, my bills for the specialists were more than my ER visit and 3 day hospital stay. Given how common EBV is, WHY is it so hard for doctors to diagnose?

You may not! For me, the fatigue was never extreme...yeah I slept more, but I didn't take any time off work (aside from the 3 hospital days). The worst part was the swollen tonsils (couldn't talk/swallow). Your liver will be fine as long as you don't drink, and your spleen will be fine with no contact sports!

I had mono this summer as a freaking 29 year old...way too old for this shit.

Perchance he has erectile-nasal disfunction. Stop discriminating.

And YOU get a heart! And YOU get a heart!!
