I think the "rhythm is a dancer" part is catchy, but the rest of it is horrible. I googled the lyrics, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want her to tell anyone bc she's cheating on her boyfriend/his friend with him. Ugh.

It's interesting because (to me) there seem to be a couple separate aspects that are playing out. The first, wondering/fantasizing what it would be like to experience something that biologically you can't is understandable.

I wonder if the dad was not intending to shame her. I can see my mom doing this sort of thing if social media had existed when I was younger. In her mind it would have been more of a... oh, so everyone online thinks you're 15? Now they ALL know you're 10, so you can't by lying about that shit anymore. In her mind…

Excuse me if there is more he's said, but I read this excerpt as him saying that G-d created the spark of life, but doesn't say anything about humans being the end point. *shrugs* I know a lot of people who believe this.

The U.S. is huge. I currently live in Chicago. One weekend I flew to Vermont. The next weekend I flew to Newport, Rhode Island for a Friday wedding and then had to be back in Minneapolis for Saturday for another wedding. So it's basically half way across the country 5 times in a week and a half. :/

The only thing is that I am at the age where EVERYONE is getting married. So it's not just one wedding. We went to 7 this year and were invited to 9. I was in 3. Having to buy a new dress for many of them, plus gifts, hotel, flights... Bridal shower, bachelorette party. It adds up.

We had a very very nice wedding. Not 6 figures, but probably on the high end of the bell curve. We suggested cocktail attire, but there was no required dress code. Two people came in clothes that I thought were too casual. One of those I was pissed at only because I did not want to invite that person and we were…

Yes, Myriad does not have many friends in the genetics world. I am a genetic counselor and focus mainly on prenatal genetics, but we do some cancer too. We use Ambry for most people, unless there is a familial mutation identified by Myriad and then we will send for single site. Myriad genetic counselor used to be a…

Every year or so you should follow up with your genetic counselor or oncologist. They are frequently reclassifying variants of unknown significance. I don't know when you were screened, but it's possible there is more info now.

My husband has done this before (he is an emergency medicine doc). He blocked the nerves with a local before he did it (the guy WAS in a lot of pain.) His erection was from meds. Apparently he and his lady friend had a fun night, went to sleep, and he woke up still hard from the night before. My husband only used…

At first I was surprised that the woman would want to be on all of the immunosuppressing drugs and be pregnant at the same time. It looks like being on those meds increases risk for miscarriage during pregnancy as well as birth defects. Probably using a surrogate would increase chances of a good outcome for the…

I can imagine it getting stuck in my teeth. Maybe better for babes who still don't have those yet!

I tried to explain to someone the other day that mitochondria have their own genome because they used to be a single celled organism before they were swallowed by another single celled organism that eventually evolved into all mammals. I'm SURE she thought I was out of my mind.

Uuuuuuuuugh. That sucks so badly! I'm sorry.

Hey thanks! It's such a weird thing to think about because most of the time it doesn't affect me, but when it does come up, it makes me wish things were different.

Pilsen is high on that list too. Logan Square is becoming too mainstream. ;)

Oh excuse me! I thought it was innocent until proven guilty- at least in America, which last time I checked, California was.

There was no public sex, and her mentioning her publicist or father is irrelevant. Once the cop determined that no one was breaking the law, he should have left.

And that conversation should have gone... we were called because it was reported that two people were having sex in a car. I can see that is not happening, so I hope you two have a nice day.
