Ditto! Whenever I've had really strong chemistry with someone, they are inevitably Bad For Me.

I don't trust chemistry. I think as you get to know someone, a different kind of attraction emerges, anyway.

Ah, the interminable high school boyfriend. I had a three year long high school boyfriend, then some flingy nonsense, and now I've landed in a really happy long term relationship again.

The ramen people are talking about here isn't the cheap instant stuff - nobody really craves that, I don't think.

Then you haven't had real ramen! Restaurant ramen is delicious - a far cry from the 15c packaged stuff you get at the store.

If only!

I do the same thing - the white bear thing - and learning to externalize really destructive (not just negative, but destructive) thoughts was a huge boon for me.

There's tons of Welsh named places in America. Pennsylvania particularly.

I just asked the same thing!?

Maybe this is beside the point, but, like, I only recently figured out that Yelp is super useful for finding new doctors. I found my current doctor (who I love) this way. So if you're ever on the market again!

Forgive me if I'm a dummy asking a dumb question, but is there a HIPAA violation here? Like, could the school be in legal trouble for doing this gross thing?

I usually make spiked/spiced cider with whisky as a winter drink, but this sounds good! I will try it.

Good on you for having the sense to notify people coming over! I hope your stepsons are doing better.

I thought the same thing. Like, I really hope being pulled out of school doesn't mess up her college plans, because it sounds like she's en route to GTFO.

I had to turn in vaccination records and get boosters even before going to my woo-woo California art school.

One can only hope.

THOSE are the asshats that should be stripped of their licenses and tossed in jail. So utterly unconscionable, it's hard to believe.

This is a tangent, but have you ever read the comments on NPR articles?

Yeah, like. Good luck with that lockjaw, son! So strong!
