Yes. What a horrible story and crime, but I found her comments and strength truly inspiring and amazing. I hope she knows that she really is reaching people in her efforts to help other victims.
Wow. People who exhibit healthy dietary behavior are more likely to exhibit other healthy dietary behavior? That's amazing. Next thing you know, there will be a study saying people who eat a lot of fast food are more likely to eat more fat.
@Lymed: Did you know that people who tend to drink plenty of plain water are also less likely to become thirsty? It's amazing how it works out like that.
I really wanna read these, but when it's only separated by a dot...man, I get all dizzy. Am I getting told? I need paragraph breaks. You kids get off my lawn!
@LouisiAnna: You can always cut and paste it into a word document and then double space it. Might make it easier. That is a trick used by people with cognitive impairments who have difficulty reading large chunks of text (not saying you have such impairment, just sharing the tip)
@dropkickninjas: I have a heard time reading it, too. Sometimes it's hard to tell where one item stopes and the next begins. Perhaps the editors could do like they do on the "Dirt Bag" feature and keep each item as a seperate line/paragraph.
Fuck you hecession, Swedish teen boys, hysterectomy-happy OB's, Annie Le's killer, all cancers, Joseph "The Most Vile Cat In The Hat Impersonator Ever" Fritzl, and a special shoutout to the crazy goddamned world wherein girls try to beat a fetus out of themselves because abortion is not legal ENOUGH for everyone yet, and last but not least, fuck off and fucking SUFFER, Dennis Earl Bradford.
Eight year olds are all eyes and smiles and fucking rainbowbrite stickers you sick piece of shit.
Excuse me while I try to get this smell out of my brain with the only liquid I'll be partaking in the rest of the day, Whalers Vanille Rum & Coke motherfucking Zero.
@labeled: it's true, all of the news items were depressing. but the thought of Whaler's Vanille ... made me think of a better tomorrow. because i am superficial.
@AmericanSplendor: The theory used to be that the sperm contained a miniature human who just sat in the womb until they were big enough to come out. No brain, bone, organ development, just growth of a fully-formed, miniature person.
@AmericanSplendor: Most doctors will probably tell you that Lyme disease, a bacteria that can live in any organ of your body and be in your blood, can't be passed in utero. Does that make any scientific sense? No. And I know people who have passed it to their children in utero. It also makes sense to me that cancer in your lymphatic system could be passed in utero. But sometimes I think science just doesn't want to think about it.
@ReanimatedHorse: But this woman had leukemia which is a cancer of the blood. Blood crosses through the placenta. Similarly, I'd think cancer that's gotten throughout the lymphatic system might be able to pass because it goes throughout the body rather than being localized.
According to a new study, people who get most of their daily liquids from plain water rather than other beverages tend have healthier diets in general and eat more fiber, less sugar, and fewer calorie-dense foods.
@TRexstasy: +1! Have big green bottle next to me right now, but must keep it closed or kitten will knock it over. Why do they DO that? it's totally deliberate.
@BytheSea: Aw, kitty! I don't know why they do that, but I had to buy a new hard drive for my macbook a couple weeks after I adopted my youngest, Max, because he decided to water the keyboard.
@TRexstasy: you mean he watered it ... himself? Eeeeee there's no getting that out.
I got a silicone skin for my keyboard after Atheletic Kitten leaped on my desk and knocked coffee on my keyboard. It didn't ruin it, but it wasn't fun to clean up.
12-year-old Abby Miller plays her guitar and sings on the street to raise money for her 4-year-old friend, Taylor Love, who has neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. The money goes to Love's family and Miller also asks people to write "Love Notes" to Taylor. "Her mom reads them to her before she goes to bed at night," Abby said. "Taylor gets excited for them and she loves getting them read to her because she likes knowing that people are supporting her and people are actually thinking of her."
Taken in light of the "PINK!!!!!!!!11" article earlier, this really makes me feel like an ass.
@sybann: I hope those Swedish boys stated their views out loud instead of in a written survey so that the girls know which one to avoid like the plague.
"This event in my life was a tragic one... But today, 19 years later, I stand here and want you all to know that I am OK. I am not a victim, but instead, victorious."
Here come the tears. That is so awesome. I can't even imagine the relief this must give Jennifer and her family.
