oh lord. I knew a woman who had strep throat, and was prescribed the wrong antibiotic by a careless doctor. the infection traveled to her leg and resulted in a near amputation. cut to a year later, she’s JUST out of the hospital and walking with a walker. she is 36 years old.

I took an instant dislike to a woman that I barely knew because she said that people who died from cancer did so because they didn’t think healing thoughts. To make it worse, she said this in front of a woman whose husband died of cancer. I will never like her. She could save a litter of puppies from a burning…

Sherry Crow was just on Howard Stern last week and she was telling stories of inspiration and naming rights (not in reference to this case). She told a story of a song she wrote that was inspired by a poem, using the poem’s words as lyrics to the song. She contacted the poet and gave him co-writer credit along with…

No, it’s a fair statement. I think it’s important that this organization take a moment to examine, perhaps in an article, the standards to which they hold various organized religions (calling Scientology a religion is weird, but legally correct) and their followers. In fact, it might not go amiss to have a set of…

I don’t even understand what this means.

Same thing here, at least from the vanity perspective (I don’t have torn abdominal muscles or anything, obv.) I’m a fairly thin lady, but I have lower abdomen pouch that cannot be flattened. I’ve been as low as 110 pounds and still had the same size pooch I have now around 130 pounds. My stomach above my belly…

Yeah. I mean we are definitely talking about two distinctly different sets of circumstances here but I have always had a pooch (and no kids). It’s definitely the first thing that touches my husband when we hug or dance, and I have a hard enough time not thinking of it as an “indignity.” :(

I have said pouch too. Always have, my mom has one too.

Man, this kind of irritates the hell out of me. I am one of those unlucky few born with a “mom pouch”. No amount of exercise, diet, or witch doctoring budges it. BUT if I had just had a baby, man, my insurance would cover it because it affects my self esteem? What an effed up insurance system we have when something…

No you’re right, but the ways in which Lena Dunham messes up seem extra gross because she spends so much time doing “progressive” things. It makes her obliviousness a little bit more stark.

I could see her point re: discrimination if there was no way for white students to get extra help in calculus, but somehow I doubt that’s the case.

The climate change stuff is what really bothers me. The rest of his positions can be debated intellectually. I don’t agree with his conservative views, and find many of them morally repugnant. But intelligent people can have bad values. There’s probably some value to be had in having someone who can intelligently…

Excuse me, that muumuu/hospital gown with lace is unacceptable.

Holocaust centers.

To be fair, they try to do this shit to everyone. Dirt’s dirt.

Is this what it feels like when a Spanish speakers tries to read Portuguese or Italian? No idea what any of this means, but they look like words I know.

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

It is really crazy how even the most woke men turn into “but actually” style chauvinists when it comes to sports.

These are the U.S. National Teams, not MLS vs. WMLS. Our National Teams deserve equal pay.

Call me old fashioned, but I believe elite female athletes should be at home adopting babies like God intended.
