If you're right-brained, you'll see a teacup. If you're left-brained, you'll see a fortune cookie.

@SouthDallasFood 4 months of humiliation...and I could bake bread with conventional yeast Good now but it requires new skills and tools.

This is why I’ve never attempted sourdough. Y’all know me I would cry for a freaking year.

@ThrillaRilla369 Cures are common with some cancers, found early. Some prevention is possible such as Gardasil. Lifestyle is in your court such as no smoking or alcohol, maintain a healthy weight, avoid peak sun exposure and avoid known carcinogens. In the end cancer is mostly a disease of aging.

Do you honestly believe they’re suppressing cures for cancer in 2026?

@GreeneWendy Nobody is at their peak at a funeral. Grief makes sleep impossible, eating a chore. There are 1000 details and sometimes despite a history of illness complete shock that the person did not survive. Don't worry what might be going on. Grief is going on.

Just home from a wake. The deceased had suffered from severe heart disease for 24 yrs. This was not a C-related death (take my word on this, I know). What was disconcerting was what I saw amongst the mourners. 1/

@doctorxisme Last one is WPW

I couldn't hold it in😂😂😂😂

@milinsemma Smiling... retired for 2 years, but my copy of Guyton is still on the shelf. Must be a very early edition.

@Akir_a997 I would rather you poke a stick in my eye. I do not breed well in captivity.

GIRL TO GIRL… be honest… If you could live on a little land, raise babies, bake bread, and love your man… would that be enough?

@DrNeilStone A better question is gonorrhea is becoming antibiotic resistant would you take a safe vaccine? That one would be interesting. You have to target their interests.

If there is a huge bubonic plague outbreak and there's a safe vaccine that can prevent it, would you take it??

@chashmish1234 Biosense cleansing oil. At age 61 still had breakouts. After 4 days of sand, grit and crap rolling out of pores...perfection. The bottle costs about $45 lasts about 7 months. Stopped for a few weeks and used cleansing balms....zits back. Stuff is magic.

Girl to girl, tell us one skincare product that took your skin from 0 to 100.

@nodge1985 @Mr_Husky1 Both, it is a choice.

@Mr_Husky1 Yet other posts on here tell men, ad infinitum, "I don't look good for you, I do it for myself". So, which is it?

“I don’t pay for women,” wrote a 52-year-old man. I showed up to the date without makeup and wearing sneakers. We had been talking for about two weeks. Giovanni was one of those rare people—polite, straightforward, no mind games. Divorced, two grown kids, worked in construction. He had humor, balance, culture. When he asked me out, I said yes without hesitation. Then came that message—clear, almost sharp. “Let’s be clear: I don’t pay for women on dates. It’s my principle. Hope that’s not a problem.” Honestly, it wasn’t. In fact, I appreciated the honesty. Better to know upfront what you’re getting into than to face the bill and pretend nothing happened. I replied: “Fine, no problem. See you Saturday.” Inside me, an idea was born. A simple, honest experiment. Saturday morning, I woke up early. I’m 46 and I know exactly what “getting ready” for a date means. I opened my closet, picked the right outfit. Then makeup: foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick—the usual ritual. And then I stopped. Why? If we’re truly equal… if everyone pays their own way… if there are no roles… why should I spend two hours getting ready? Why should I look flawless while Giovanni probably shows up in jeans and a T-shirt, ready in ten minutes? So I decided. Jeans. Gray sweater. Comfortable shoes. Ponytail. No makeup. Just me. In the mirror, I felt strange. Not worse. Just… different. Used to seeing myself “constructed,” I now looked simply normal. “Let’s see,” I thought. At the café, Giovanni was already seated. He greeted me, smiled, everything calm. The first few minutes were pleasant, natural. I almost thought I’d overthought it. Then he paused, looked at me more closely, and said: “You didn’t get ready much to see me, did you?” “What do you mean?” “In the photos, you looked more polished… the dress, the makeup… Now you look… like you ran an errand.” I smiled. Because in that moment I knew the experiment was working. “Giovanni,” I said calmly, “remember what you wrote about the bill?” He nodded. “Yes.” “You talked about equality. Everyone pays their own way. No roles, no expectations. You’re independent, I’m independent.” “Yes… and?” “So I asked myself: why does equality only apply to money? You showed up comfortably, no special effort. I did the same. Isn’t that consistent?” He stayed silent. Then tried to explain. “But these are different things…” “Why different?” I asked. He spoke about habits, “female nature,” the fact that women like to take care of themselves. I listened. Then I said something simple: “Taking care of yourself costs. Time, energy, money. And it’s often taken for granted. We talk about equality when it comes to paying, but still expect a woman to be perfect… for free.” He tried to defend himself: “But women like it…” I smiled. “Yes, I like feeling beautiful. But I also like being myself. Sleeping in. Not worrying about makeup. Wearing comfortable shoes.” He looked at me, unsure what to say. We finished our coffee talking about something else. Then the bill arrived. Split in half. Perfect. We said goodbye politely. We never contacted each other again. No, I don’t regret it. That date taught me something. We live in a time when everyone talks about equality, but often only where it’s convenient. People want an independent, autonomous woman—but also flawless, polished, perfect. True equality isn’t splitting a bill. It’s sharing the same effort, the same respect, the same investment. If you don’t want to pay for dinner, that’s fine. But then don’t expect someone to spend hours looking perfect for you. If we are equal… we’re truly equal. No double standards. Giovanni wanted equality. He got it. Just not the kind he imagined.

@Sadie_NC They had an umbilical line for 9 months. They are giving tiny premies soft crocheted cords to hold for comfort. This is probably comforting to hold when balance is not perfect.

Their teacher took them for a walk and tied them up so they wouldn't get lost. What are your thoughts on this? Some said it was inappropriate. Personally, I'm fine with it. I'd rather she do this than have one get lost.

@becomeharmony @therobbieharvey I see no medical credentials. This is victim blaming please remove it.

@therobbieharvey Endometriosis is a common bad side effect from long term use of birth control from a young age. Ladies we need to track our cycles/diet better instead of relying on big pharmaceutical companies.

Bindi Irwin, daughter of the famed 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin, posted a heartbreaking life update. She revealed her battle with endometriosis, detailing multiple surgeries and the ongoing fight for better women's health awareness. She said in the post that doctors have removed more than 50 endometriosis lesions from her body since early 2023. She also had a chocolate cyst taken out that was sticking her ovary to her side, along with an appendectomy and hernia repair. But here's the part where I'm sure many of you will relate. She went years where doctors didn't believe her. Irwin explained she dealt with severe, constant pain for a full decade before getting a proper diagnosis. Doctors had brushed it off as something women just have to live with, leaving her feeling weak and insecure as a teen and young adult. She described being trapped in her own body during that time. This comes as March, designated Endometriosis Awareness Month, draws to a close. In her post, Irwin called on people to keep the invisible condition in mind year-round and show compassion to the millions affected. She stressed that raising awareness for endometriosis and women's health overall can stop others from suffering quietly.

@iey0beeW @alandrummond2 There is a difference between MAiD and palliative sedation where the symptoms are intractable and the patient is deeply sedated so they are not aware of the final agonal symptoms. This is not euthanasia. Does not require the double physician assessments faster.

@iey0beeW @alandrummond2 Question is, does it actually occur in practice out in the real world. It might happen in an acute care hospital in rare cases but often these people are in final hours or days anyway.

@iey0beeW @alandrummond2 Nope. Burden of proof is on you.

@alandrummond2 Ummm, people are getting euthanized in a day from making the request.

@drkeithsiau In certain adults removing the cigarettes or phone from the pockets will awaken them from a "coma".

This is effective not only in children but also in selected adult patients.

@IhabFathiSulima Pituitary adenoma. Illustrated in the bible by Golliath. Giantism Central vision loss (could not see little David) Slow clumsy movement (also armored so unable to move swiftly in defense) Erosion of cribiform (death from basal skull # via high velocity projectile)

Recently severe headache and Visual loss. What is the diagnosis?

@anon_opin Never and I mean never use a grapefruit scented make-up remover wipe to freshen up your bits in a pinch. Those of you who say challenge accepted do it away from running water for full comparison.

I'm 100% sure that the sadistic bastard who invented mint & tea tree shower gel chuckles to themselves when they think of the thousands of people who, every day, lather up their "bits" in the shower and suffer the spicy consequences.

@dog_rates Week 1 nursing school is how to make an occupied bed. We took turns being the patient. This looks like more fun.

This is Daisy. She helped her human make the bed today. Through moral support. 13/10
