I'm in a southern Chicago suburb. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees, last night we had hail and tornadoes, then I wake up to snow flurries. There are trees and plants doing things they shouldn't for weeks and I suspect my spring allergies are already starting.

While part of me is embracing the "milder" days, it's also a bit unnerving.

Definitely different handwritings going on. My guess is someone fucking around with a younger siblings homework.

If you spend time (often years) + money (tens of thousands) + putting your body through treatments (hormone therapy to harvest eggs) + significant emotional investment to achieve any very personal goal (to carry a child into your family) only to have that taken away, heartbreak is one of the most appropriate descriptors.

You're on the right track, but not quite there.

You're right that rare steak is ok because the outside surface has been cooked killing external contaminants. But the contaminants in chicken can exist throughout the meat, therefore it needs to be brought to temp all the way through.

*ovulation

Releasing of an egg is ovulation. Menstruation is shedding of the lining of the uterus in mammals when pregnancy has not occurred.

It's a little pet peeve of mine when people refer to eggs as "chicken periods." I get a similar itch when people refer to anything in the crotch area of a female as a vagina lol.

I'm assuming that housing and utility expenses are being paid on their behalf, so yes. That should count.

One of my favorite movies growing up! I showed it to my kids when they were about the same age and scared the shit out of them lol.

I saw a book in the thumbnail that I already own and was looking forward to reading, so I opened the article. At first I was thrown back by some of the shitty books on this list and a little bothered that the book I have would be clumped in with them - then I noticed that it actually went on the list. I'm a little relieved lol. Fwiw, it's Behave by Robert Sapolsky.

And mine would only schedule the insertion immediately around my period so the cervix would be more open.

Oh, in America you still have to provide those things too, AND have a decent credit score.

Very close - the cop and his partner emptied their guns at the car where the suspect was cuffed in the back seat, but never physically wounded him, just severely traumatized him.
