When my brother and I were late for school we would always make up stories for the office lady about how we were innocently walking to school when we were besieged upon by dragons/trolls/dinosaurs and then explain how we bravely fought them off and saved the world "and that's why we're late for school today". We…

That's terrible, I'm so sorry you guys have gone through. How long ago was this and how old is she? (If you don't mind me asking).

Yes, C Diff is more urgent because it can happen to severely ill people and the elderly who may die without prompt and effective treatment. The antibiotics we have don't always work and often result in bad side effects that render these already very ill people even more sick. This is at times a life and death…

I agree with you about the brain injury, but not about the low blood sugar because if her blood sugar was critically low she would have had a lot of other symptoms. Symptoms of critically low blood sugar tend to be diaphoresis, confusion (and or mood changes), shaking, and loss of consciousness, it's generally…

I also do really well when I avoid those products. I do great on a veggie, egg, and chicken based diet. The first time I eat sweets or bread I avalanche.

"the meat is full of water". This. I like chicken, but it's hard to not find chicken that hasn't been saturated in water in attempt to make it "juicy" or whatever they're trying to do.

Northern California here (far above the San Francisco NorCal) and many of our gas stations have fresh, healthyish food available.

To suggest that this woman might be mentally ill is not creating a stigma. To attack people for suggesting mental illness is not helpful. We don't know this woman, she may be mentally ill, she may be on drugs; but what she said is off, it is not the thinking of a "normal" person. It is okay to acknowledge that…

Or bipolar with psychosis; or either of those mixed with drugs. I've known some very good people to do very bad things while not on medications.

The best piece of advice my doctor gave me was that you cannot spoil a child under a year old. They do not have wants, they have needs. (it was a little longer than that but I don't remember everything else she said).

Yeah, I guess I wasn't really thinking of throwback genes, my bad.

Yeah, when I was in bed last night I thought some more about that and came to the conclusion that there was a really good scenario. We only know our ancestry so far back and for the people who can't go more than a couple of generations back we have so much we don't know. I have one side of the family that has a…

If his parents aren't two races then how did he end up with blue eyes? If there was "some mixing along the lines" then how is he not multiracial?

My pet unicorn is crying tears of blood because of your disbelief,

We wrote a great article on Jezebel!

99% certainty that Jesus, Wodan,Vishnu, or any other god doesn't exist is pretty damn atheistic. Like, how certain are you that unicorns and dragons don't exist?

Liquid pen is the best, I use Mac black liquid pen, it's a long lasting one and it is amazing!

I did one and done and my daughter is fine, she has tons of friends, sleepovers, girl scouts, guitar lessons, kung fu, and trips that we can afford to take. She will sometimes ask me if she can have a sibling (she's 10 and wants a sister to share clothes with), and I tell her no, that when she's older she can adopt…

My daughter was potty trained at 1.5 and I was potty trained at one, but it looks like the averages are higher.

Team One and Done!
