    FDA siezes birthing pools/pregnancy is an illness

    Pregnancy may be considered an "illness" for legal purposes of allowing time off, medical coverage, or whatever. It doesn't necessarily mean someone is unwell. (Back when sex discrimination was a big issue in the courts they had some trouble classifying it, and they considered whether it was...

    So...Nicole stole---

    The Disney fairies website Pixie Hollow is great, and so is Disney's Club Penguin. Both allow you to play limited stuff for free, and you can do more for a yearly fee. They are not really educational, but just fun (and the fairies one is really beautifully done). Popcap.com also has some fun...

    Lady Henevere: Year in review

    I forgot how much I like trying new recipes. This week, life has been delicious! I have been playing with African spices, making African vegetable soup spiced with cinnamon, cumin, and turmeric, and a batch of lentils spiced with cinnamon, fresh ginger, and cayenne. Yum! I also made...

    Which blood tests? Update: An incorrect diagnosis :)

    Abi and Bee, that's how I feel about it most of the time. I have very little faith in the ability of the medical profession to help just about any physical disorder. If I had a sudden traumatic injury, there's no other place in the world I'd rather be than a modern hospital. For symptoms as...

    College...not worth it....?

    As others have said, it is very possible to work your way through college. I did it, working full time in community college, transferring to a university, working full time there. I worked in a 24-hour industry so I could work swing shift and go to school in the mornings. I certainly wasn't...

    Which blood tests? Update: An incorrect diagnosis :)

    The doctor has diagnosed me with a major and potentially deadly disease based on a blood test that may or may not indicate the presence of this disease. It doesn't seem to matter to him that I don't exhibit any of the symptoms except "brain fog," which can be a sign of anything. I think it's...

    The xXx Gloom & Doom Report

    This is strategic more than a financial need. After 9/11 a lot of the big airlines declared bankruptcy and got out from under employee pensions and other costs of doing business by "reorganizing." American didn't; it got all its employee groups to make major concessions (like 40% pay cuts --...

    Everybody still here?

    Welcome back! Glad to hear you had a good time out on the farm. No big highlights here, just busy with life. And driving around L.A. with my 16-year-old cousin who just got her learner's permit, which is its own adventure. Most of the time I feel like this: :ep

    annaraven - more random update stuph

    At many gas stations here the cash price is up on the sign, and if you pay with a card you pay more. It's not well marked, so it's very easy to pay extra if you're not paying attention. Other businesses around here also give cash discounts (restaurants, etc.). I always assumed it was because...

    Lady Henevere: Year in review

    Doing my menu planning and grocery list, which I haven't done in a while. Usually I just go to the farmers' market and store and grab what looks good, and make do throughout the week, cooking once in a while and lately, eating out way too much. It's a time and exhaustion thing. I get home at...
