I’m debating this right now, as I’m getting married next spring. As a stauch feminist with a huge hyphenated name gifted to me by my parents in the 80’s, and a women’s college alum, for most of my life I was pretty militant about keeping name, particularly now as I’m published under it. However, in my clinical years…

“They usually target, though, a group. Gays or straights, black, redneck, you know, I just don’t know—"

Usually lotions containing lactic acid are recommended for KP. There are some recommended here. I've found generic cheaper versions at CVS which help with flare ups. Some people also recommend creams containing retinols, or salicylic acid.

Hurrah, I have always loved the Indigo Girls and continue to love them.

Just here to wave hello from Worcester! Sorry about your bad experience tonight, people can be real jerks. Hope you get to do something nice around town this weekend to keep from getting too down on the place!

I had the same experience, read it a few times in high school and found it interesting. Read it again last year, now having lived in and around for many years where it is supposed to take place (i.e. Harvard Square) and considering going into OB/Gyn when I finish med school, and that shit is TERRIFYING. Hit very…

Could be undiagnosed tonsil stones. They're hard to always see, in the crypts of your tonsils, but they can (if there are many or large stones) result in a bad breath smell so bad you can smell it on someone's entire person. Not uncommon in kids.

Once you start using them, you can never ever go back. I've considered keeping some in my purse...

Just note with the argan oil that a little bit goes a long way. Start with a pea size amount to run your hair throu to the ends, and then increase as necessary. Good luck!

I'd second the recommendation for a firmer pillow, or moment foam, and one that is long enough to keep your legs through your knees down to your ankles. Also I find that having a pillow propped behind my lower back, and a pillow I can hug in the front helps a lot with staying aligned and keeping my legs properly…

It will be ok! Of the dental surgeries I've had (ie many) it was the most manageable, and mine were similar to your situation. The worst part, honestly, was when as I started to go under I started freaking out because the pictures on the wall were escaping from the wall and no one could see it. The next thing I…

Just to clarify, and sorry for the detail but...when you say it removed period stains, do you mean new recent stains, or older marks that have been through the wash cycle a few times? Either way, definitely going to look into this!

Maybe not for the actual stain removal itself, but have you tried using wet wipes in the bathroom. Just like toilet paper but moist and a lot less abrasive. I always feel a lot more confidentially clean after using those and they are now a bathroom staple for me. May help with preventing the issue in the future?

I have similarly very long fine hair, and I've found that a tiny amount of Moroccan argan oil into my wet hair (not at the scalp, just like ear level and below) can really help with this. Actually garniers smoothing milk or even a tiny amount of their styling paste worked through the ends helps as well. If I have…

I am right there with you. Have to finish in less than a month and I am at a complete loss almost daily. I cannot even describe how many times Ive calculated the debt id incur by dropping out. Make lists. Make lots of lists: small items and large items to do, people (peers and mentors) and resources available to…

Hahaha you guys have NOT been listening to the right shows. A few years ago, the Wait Wait panel did a whole thing using NPR show titles as come on lines. "Would you like to come back to my place and...consider all things?"

It's definitely a privilege to have all of the dolls in the store look like you, and they should definitely be a more diverse selection. The toy aisles in stores are way too gendered and way too white-washed even in diverse regions. I can't imagine how hard it is to find a non-white doll outside of a city or online.…

Going through the same thing right now, and having a tough time. My problem is actually getting anything written, I end up thinking about organization and then staring into space for 20 minutes, and then panicking. Just wanted to say I feel your pain and good luck! And let some of your friends see your writing, as…

I agree with everyone else about trying to make it humorous and not judgmental. I sometimes employ another approach if that doesn't really work. I have misophonia, which has come up around here before, it's basically "hatred of sound." My whole life, eating noises, fidgeting noises, and other things that people…

Sorry, I started a long response and then got side-tracked and lost it! I don't have strong feelings one way or the other, there's obvious arguments for both sides. I will say that, while at the lower levels single-sex education may certainly have some benefits in terms of more tailored learning styles, I kind of…
