Old age is not for sissies. That said, it's kind of sad to think any "health practitioners" need to experience pain themselves before they believe what their patients are going through. Empathy not working?

Totally agree with you about that cover photo. That cat is metal!

My girly cat started making the most horrific agonized howling yesterday. When I went to investigate, she immediately horked up a lump of grass. I learned new cat language!

I'm guessing a lot of this gunshot victims will be gangbangers who probably are hopped up on any variety of illegal drugs when they're brought in rather than healthy people who aren't on drugs. That's going to skew the results, but the article didn't mention how they're controlling for that. What if they end up with results that show "this only works if you're really high on meth" or something?

Or it's a demonstration of what "made in China" means in China.

It's an interesting statement on music as art. Or is music simply no longer "art" but just another consumer product?

And before some millenial comes in here and makes the mistake: parachute pants were not baggy MC Hammer pants. They were skintight, had numerous zippers and were made of silk/nylon parachute cloth.

That's community policing, right there! And for a big dude, he's got some good moves.

Having toured a few antebellum mansions during high school in Mississippi, yep, the history is very much white washed, accent on the "white" part.

The more I read about the Sochi olympics, the more I'm convinced it's actually being held in a trailer park.

I saw something similar at a hockey game years ago, except the woman just said "That's my brother!" and the crowd just lost it.

That is what "Girl World" is all about: the power of sustaining grudges for as long as possible, even if they're unwarranted.
