It looks to me more like the concern is this Dr. Amen person using a celebrity to conflate the efficacy of his diagnostic procedure. That's what I got out of it anyway. I agree seeing a scan of my brain would be pretty cool, even if just for the novelty value.

Is it really all because of gender? It really couldn't have anything to do with attitude? I know that gender is frequently a factor in DV, the double standard is a huge problem. I just can't read about something like that happening to a child, and seeing the person who is most likely to be able...

@anthony I don't know if you were including me in the many inconsiderate arseholes group? If not, then disregard this. I don't care what genitalia the OP has, I'd have said the same thing. Man abused by woman, woman abused by man, man abused by man, woman abused by woman or man abused by three...

This is disgusting. Why does she still have access to the kids? How bad does it have to get before you start taking this seriously? 4 meters? 8? Does the child need to turn blue first? Does she have to suffer irreparable brain damage? Does she have to become a vegetable? Does her airway have to...

I'm not sure I understand. No one can stop anyone from ending their own lives if they choose. Is death any less terrifying whether your sitting in a chair in a doctor's office looking at a needle in your arm, seeing the ground rushing up at you, staring at the muzzle of a gun, dangling above a...

They're cute little buggers, I agree the animal itself is harmless. But the things they do as they go about their business are not so harmless. There are some real dangers to having mice in your house. They can carry serious diseases in their faeces such as Hantavirus. Because they are...

More than a decade later and I'm stuck on this. More than a decade later the dead have stayed dead, I get to experience the gift of life. Sadly they're the ones who would actually have appreciated it. The longer I go on the more of an insult I am to those that aren't here. It feels like having...

Maybe she was lonely?

Perhaps, seeing as I will likely never see for myself, I'll take it at face value as it was a good story, true or not. ;) @Freida I gotta ask, did you ever know anyone who actually liked the C-rat Ham and Lima beans? (Ham & Motherf*ckers I've always heard them called)

This isn't true. The Canadian province of Alberta has both a public and private health care providers. If you have more money than patience, you can opt to foot the bill and get the care you need sooner than through the public Alberta healthcare system. You can even use both at the same time...

Almost forgot to mention. I don't what years your vet served, but a quick Google search showed me that Pea-soup with Ham was in the rotation of Einmannpackung issued for a good many years. So it's certainly possible he ate it while he was serving.

I used to work with a man who emigrated here to Canada to become red seal baker. Before this he was in the Luftwaffe. If I remember correctly, he was whatever the Luftwaffe equivalent is to a Feldwebel in the Bundeswehr. I had made a comment to him one day about the irony of leaving the...

Kids aren't human? They're not part of the human race as a whole? Pretty sure everyone who's an adult now, used to be a kid. Just like cancer, we are of nature. I think looking at what we can do to adapt our environment to us in a way that's beneficial to the Earth as well as us, is a better...

I don't blame you, my colonoscopy wasn't fun either. If you need a facility that does sedation, that's totally reasonable.

Where I'm from sedation is the standard protocol for a colonoscopy, most people sleep right through it. The thing to remember about hospital care staff and procedures like this is that they are busy and it's a routine quick procedure for most people. It's also a procedure that causes alot of...

@LuckiLee I've known a couple of people who have worked as telemarketers, every one of said the thing that annoyed them the most was someone waiting for them to get through their whole spiel before hanging up on them. God I hope it's true.

I don't know if it's the best for combat PTSD or not, but Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is one of the therapies used to treat PTSD. I did it myself while seeing a trauma therapist. I would conclude that unless this woman is herself a trauma therapist, it might be best to assume she is playing...

It's become a complex of it's own. I hate sleeping, but I'm so desperately tired I crave it endlessly. I have the same kind of dreams over and over again. I find myself in some situation in which everyone I care about in the dream dies one after another in front of me. There's never anything I...

You could always add an English translation as a footnote.

So long as you don't have an active infection in the cut, a liquid bandage would probably be your best bet. Walmart should carry it.

I have a horrible memory, I forget people's names, tasks, schedule, you name it. Stress makes it way worse too. I have to set alarms for when I use the punch clock or I will forget to punch in and out. I have the snooze function set on it too. If I'm busy doing something or far from the clock...

You most certainly may. I'm once again grateful for your helpful explanation. I'm blaming Google for that error in grammar. Though it's interesting how the grammar changes depending on the formative used. One of these days I'll figure it out. Lol I chose jawohl specifically, as it was an...

Jawohl, mein Dame! I could, but I'd look pretty silly in a skirt. :rofl: Same thing where I grew up. I'm by no stretch of the imagination upper class, but that was taught to me as just polite behaviour. Where I work now, it's the opposite. I don't know most people's last names, most don't know...

@Never_falter2 You've never struck me as snobby, or a show off. Being proud of someone else's accomplishments and wishing to share that positivity with others, is not snobby. Same with wanting to learn to do something correctly, then use it correctly, is just well... proper. It's been my...

Same way I usually do. I'll spend the first week of the new year cursing at myself for repeatedly using the wrong date on the paperwork that needs one. Otherwise I can't be bothered, it's just another day as far as I'm concerned. But... Seeing as it's important to other people, I'll make nice...
