They don’t even know what they’re supposed to be outrage amateur policing anymore.

Yeah, this is one of those situations where, if one really does care about the owners eating meat, the answer should be, “I guess I just won’t eat there anymore and perhaps send an email out to tell them why,” rather than, “Let me send death threats because they are not conforming to my worldview anymore!”

I still remember my last severe gallbladder attack. New Years Day, 2am. I was pregnant, and my husband rushed me to the hospital because we thought I was in premature labor. Within 10 minutes, the L&D staff knew I wasn’t in labor, but they had no idea what was wrong. The nurse initially thought that it was maybe gas,…

Woooow. My grandpa held better seders than that, and he was (as far as I know) a non-practicing but former Orthodox, fearful of holocaust #2 so kinda lived in secrecy, married to a Catholic German, Jewish man from the old country.

That’s fine, I get those days too.

Yeah, that was kind of the point of that statement. The flu kills. Sometimes you catch it once, and never get it again because you’re dead from it. Once is enough to kill you.

Bingo. A young (like, preschooler age) relative of mine caught the flu once. Died in his sleep less than 24 hours later. You don’t fuck with the flu. He never caught the flu again, and the rest of us religiously get a flu shot.

My husband had PRK. He wasn’t technically getting it for vision correction, but because it would fix his detaching cornea. (His cornea was spontaneously separating from his eyeball at night and then sticking to his eyelid as he slept, and so he’d essentially tear off a portion of his cornea every morning when he…

They’ve already got a script written up for that: the vaccines that the mother and father got as children contribute to autism and/or cause autism in non-vaccinated children. Supposedly they get passed down through genetics in a magical woo way.

My doctor explained that some women carry their babies “upwards” rather than “outwards” and the tone of your abs can contribute to that, as can the size of the baby. My mom was like that. She went up one pant size through her pregnancies (she didn’t even know about me until around 7 months along) and she never looked…

I doubt these guys would have helped the government. Unless they managed some behind-the-scenes comical spy methods while using the phone as a distraction, and now plan on writing a full page exposing the government’s overreaching surveillance.

The Republican convention: Where the rules are made up and the points don’t matter.

Prom in 2002. Those slip dresses were horrid for me. They just do not work with my body type, and the pale pink doesn’t do me any favors. It was not a fashionable night for me. It didn’t help that my budget was far, far, far beyond tight, so I had to just pick a dress within my Taco Bell part time budget. I ended up…

No problems, it does sound like they were unprofessional without the details all shoved in there. The ER guys couldn’t find the bleed, it was about 1am, and so they packed his nose, figuring that it would be 6-8 hours until we got in to see the ENT, which is reasonable (miserable, but reasonable). It was that jerk…

I just looked that up, and that’s pretty much it.

He had an extremely dry sinus cavity, which caused his wound. It was up really high in his nose, right on the edge of his sinus cavity, made worse because he took ibuprofen right before the bleed. It had to be cauterized closed.

Actually, with exception to ENT doctor who refused to see us immediately and the Urgent care nurse that didn’t notice him bleeding all over the place at first, all of them were pretty good. The problem was that the bleed was really fricking high up his nose, on the edge of his sinus cavity. Urgent Care and ER weren’t…

After a long road trip, my husband suddenly got a bloody nose at 11pm. It just started to bleed and never stopped. So I drove him to Urgent Care, which was full of people and had a long ass wait, and he had a rag to his nose. Another patient actually contacted a nurse, telling her that “we should probably be seen…

I’m wondering if abortion support will skyrocket when the numbers of zika infected babies start to be born in the US, at least among moderates and the people who think that “this could never happen to me/I won’t ever choose abortion”, etc. As disgusting as these laws are, there might be some light at the end of the…

I had almost zilch in the heartburn department when I was pregnant and my kidlet had a full head of hair at birth (although not nearly as much as this kid!). I don’t know if this kid’s hair will fall out, but we were told that it could happen with our kidlet. It never did. It just changed color from almost black at…
