This is why the Darwin Awards exist.

They are working on different cancer treatments that aren't all about the slash and burn. I attended a lecture by an oncologist a few years back in which she discussed current ideas and trials on cancer treatments that sounded pretty hopeful. She was doing research on milk ducts as an early warning place for breast cancer detection, in the hopes that by getting to the cells in the ducts before they become cancerous, we could prevent breast cancer to begin with.

If we could lactate a cure for breast cancer, how awesome would that be???

I need to read Tina Fey's book.

I do believe the day will come when we look back and say, "Can you believe we used to treat cancer by giving people poison and hoping it killed the cancer before it killed the patient?" However, that day is not here, and just because it's an imperfect system does not mean that the answer is to turn yourself over to a Mexican clinic that prescribes juiced raw carrots and liver.

YES.

Besides, God made people smart enough to figure this all out and discover medicine and therapies so how could she say that going to therapy and taking anti depressants wasn't God's Will.

That's pretty much what I was going to say. erika, it's totally, "I sent you a plane, a boat, and a helicopter!"

Painted my fingernails for the first time in a long while. It started to chip pretty quickly.(should have expected that with cheap polish.) Have touched up the polish and added top coat. Hope that helps.

Always use a top coat! Relatedly, my boss laughed at my shiny shiny purple nails, so maybe it's a good think I didn't paint designs on them.

OMG. I can pick up my car at 5pm.

Right the fuck on, Allyson!

(I am sorry I have not responded to emails. Things are crazy. The GM communications contact is a good guy; I've worked with him before.)

I am so happy this is finally resolved.

YAY Allyson!

Yay!!

So I don't watch Big Brother but apparently some people really hate one contestant.

Enough to advocate that people call CPS and report that she abuses/molests her child; call and try to get her fired from her job; and some that say she should be raped and killed.

Most of it is on Facebook and people are posting using their Real Names.

and [link] are some examples.

I wish I could thank you and your peeps publicly. Is "Anonymous Behind the Scenes GM Employees Who Tried to Rescue Me Despite it Totes Not Being in Their Job Description" okay to thank?
