I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Had I realized such a figure was not acceptable to JAMA Journals, I would have submitted elsewhere.

One of those other, more prestigious and well-known journals.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"But I LIKE the extra space! That's how I was taugh..." *snick* *sploosh* *thud*

Better make this a crossover with Medium cuz Ima haunt you people.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

One of those other, more prestigious and well-known journals.

Clearly the AMA's draconian style standards are holding this author's work back from rocketing to the top of the New York Times Best Sellers List.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My mother -- the woman who had open-heart surgery 2 days ago (TWO. DAYS.) -- hasn't been on ANY pain meds since the night of her surgery.**

I am descended from Antiope, general of the Amazons.

**(When I repeated, in astonishment, "NO PAIN MEDS?!?", my mom amended that with -- hand to god -- "Well, I took 2 Tylenol earlier for a sinus headache.")

By the time I'm done customizing the Wordpress theme for my wife's website I think I might have well just written my own theme.

RIGHT??? She says it's because she doesn't have any pain, not because she's trying to tough it out despite the pain. That's frigging amazing.

Yes, your mom is tough. Moms sometimes have very different pain threshholds...

I asked her, "Damn, Mom, did you have pain meds when you gave birth???" And she said "A whole lot of percocet!"

So apparently she's just a cardiovascular weirdo.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

By the time I'm done customizing the Wordpress theme for my wife's website I think I might have well just written my own theme.

The cri de coeur of many a WP admin. We're in the process of adding new official themes for the multisite at work. It's pretty complex and involved. Luckily I'm just along for review and beta testing.

So apparently she's just a cardiovascular weirdo.

Bodies are strange. My dad had major dental work without wanting or taking pain meds, but when he stubbed a toe or twisted an ankle, he really felt the pain.
