They totally got me. Frizzy hair and all!

I ran Chicago, and I don’t think they held anyone up! I didn’t hear about it til the next day.

Yeah. Right after I was born my dad got into drugs and alcohol pretty badly (and has continued for my whole life). At this point, I know that he is too far gone and I am not mad at him. I understand that he is addicted. But when I was a baby, he made a conscious decision to go out and party which started him down this…

Yeah! My whole job is to talk to people about their real and perceived risks for things that can be genetic/inherited. We can specialize in a variety of ways... prenatal, cancer, pediatrics, adult, cardiology, neurology. So you can have a discussion based on your specific family history as to what the chances are that…

Generally, the recommendation for colon cancer is 10 years before earliest diagnosis in the family or age 50. It might be worthwhile for you to sit down with a genetic counselor and she can review with you what your actual risks are, which can be really different from perceived risk.

I’m trying to figure out why someone would sign up to receive what is essentially commercials....

So it’s like commercials... direct to my phone. Ugh.

We are married and do have a pre-nup. I think we might be in a slightly different situation than most bc my husband and I come from very different socioeconomic backgrounds. I grew up very poor, and he grew up pretty wealthy. His parents paid for all of his education including medical school while I have $100,000 in…

Oh yeah. I'm sure everything would be split if we were that close.

I said this upthread. My husband makes 5x what I make. If we had to split everything, he would seriously have to adjust the way he lives to accommodate my inability to match him on this like... rent, vacations, dinners out, etc. It is worth it to him to shoulder more of that stuff so that I can do these things with…

Ditto.

This would not work for us. My husband is a doctor and I am a genetic counselor. He makes 5x the amount of money that I do. If we split all bills and kept the rest separate, I would have no money to buy clothes- let alone fun things. We live in an apartment, and go on vacations, and go to dinners, and drive a car that…

Running Chicago Marathon on Sunday! Hopefully I don’t pee blood!

What do you think is the best? I have a smattering of Lulu, Athleta, Title9, Nike, Under Armour, Adidas... I’m primarily a runner (Chicago Marathon on Sunday!) and my Lulu running tights and sports bras work so much better for me than all the rest. The Lulu tights are the only ones that I don’t have to yank up on long…

This was my takeaway too. Not what TMZ makes it out to be exactly....

DUDE. I am glad that you’re doing okay. This is some shit right here.

WTF. This makes me so angry for you!

I totally agree. It irks me to no end when I see all these posts on facebook about people who are married to their “best friend”. No. I am married to my husband. He is not my best friend. He is my partner and we share things that I don’t share with anyone else, but one person cannot be everything to me. I need my best…

Congrats on making it this far!

I don't even know what this means. Why does no one use punctuation anymore?!?
