Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm so sorry, lisah.

That's a great picture of Uncle Bud.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm so sorry, lisah.

Sorry to hear that, lisah. At least he had a long, good life?

Grace's, magically.

What, she thinks the ebil vaccine can travel backwards in time and zap someone in the womb? I dare you to bring up the question that if it can do that, why can't it jump from the person being inoculated to someone else and cause them health problems/IRS audits/lycanthropy.

hip deep in pie

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

So sorry to hear about that, lisah.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm sorry, lisah.

Did you all know that radiolab did a story on micropreemies and didn't tell me

I was listening to that RadioLab on podcast last week, and I thought of you a lot, Kat. It was incredibly moving, and terrifying.

And even on NPR sites, one should be very cautious about reading comments.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm so sorry, lisah. It's very hard.

why can't it jump from the person being inoculated to someone else and cause them health problems/IRS audits/lycanthropy.

She probably thinks it can. The mere existence of vaccines is the problem.

It's amazing that her chances of breast cancer went from 87% to 5%.

Removing any woman's breasts reduces her chances of breast cancer by 90%.

I acknowledge that there are many wonderful holistic doctors working on alternatives to surgery.

Holistic? I think not. With the BCRA genes, the alternatives are mainly better screening and studies to find treatments that reduce the chances of developing cancer. For example, tamoxifen appears to reduce the chances of developing cancer in women with the BCRA2 gene, but not the BCRA1 gene.

"Family history" is a fuzzy concept. One thing that bothers me about massive coverage of family-related breast cancer is that more than 70 percent of the women who get breast cancer (including me) have no history of breast cancer in their families. It tends to give women with no family history a false sense of security.

Insurance companies these days will generally cover genetic screening for people who have a significant family history of breast cancer before age 50 and/or ovarian cancer, particularly when coupled with being of Ashkenazi, Dutch, Icelandic or Swedish descent.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so sorry Lisah. Uncle Bud was an awesome cat.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Good thoughts coming your way, lisah.
