I can only imagine. Steroid inhalers are the only way I've been able to control my asthma, and I have tried many different treatments in the last twenty years. Luckily, I never played sports at such a high level to have to worry about it.

The person who had the original idea (CNN) accurately reported it. There was nothing magical about figure skating. It was (shocking!) modern medicine that helped his asthma. Unsurprisingly, in the hijacking, things got misrepresented.

As someone with asthma, I take issue with the fact that asthma attacks somehow disqualified him from competing in other sports. If you read the CNN article, you can see that the cold in the ice rink also exacerbated his asthma, a common problem for asthmatics. There was nothing special about skating, but the…

Changing discharge can mean lots of things, but if you're worried a trip to the gyno never hurts. But not getting your period has nothing to do with it. The vagina is self-cleaning, but it's the natural lubrication and not the menses that does it.

Nah, you're good. I have a Mirena and just had an appointment with the gyno and she was genuinely surprised I still bled regularly.

This seems like a chicken/egg problem to me. The Olympics is the premiere event for many sports and makes every sport highly visible. It's hard to convince someone to compete in a winter event when they won't have a chance to compete in the Olympics.

No, slopestyle (or any snowboard event) did not have this problem because in 1991 the IOC mandated that any new sports must include women.

But you can't be kicked out for doing things that the law says you can't be kicked out for. The law specifically states that it is illegal to kick someone out for breastfeeding, not that breastfeeding is legal. There is a difference.

No, you can't do anything you want in a courtroom. But you can breastfeed, because the law says you can. I get that courtrooms have rules, but the rules don't get to fly in the face of a law.

It's discriminatory because the law says if the public can be there, she can breastfeed there. There are no provisions in the law that permit the use of alternate spaces. The law specifically permits breastfeeding in public spaces. Courtrooms may have rules different than other public spaces, but those rules don't get…

If you watch the video of the first time where they sing "Whip My Hair" the crowd does go pretty nuts.

No, because they expected it. Bruce was and announced guest and Bruce and Fallon have done this twice in the past

I would at least think that the doctors involved should be disciplined for not providing the standard of care outlined by their profession. Granted, maybe they have and it's not being reported, but I would think licensing boards would have some issues with how this went down.

My daughter went through a six-month obsession with "The Sound of Music." We watched the movie once a week and listened to the soundtrack ad nauseum. At the peak of her obsession, she came home from school one day and lamented, "None of the kids at school know how to yodel."

Exactly! While I'm all about increasing diversity of models, I rarely see anyone who looks like me. I'm a size 4, but I'm not that fit. I've got belly fat, largethighs but small boobs and a small butt. It seems like body diversity just means big women.

This. A thousand times this. I have had short hair for the vast majority of the last 15 years. Every time I grow it out and the proceed to chop it off, every remarks how much better I look with short hair.
