Sorry I don't ever judge people for things they can't control, but anything trashy makes me break out in hives. Cankles in capris, cellulite in bikini's, twerking on social media (however I'm all for it when I'm on top), duck lips, facial renovations (think Meg Ryan), ugly toes in sandals, tuna in your teeth...I could go on and on! OH and those people that cross one leg over their thigh when sitting and then hold onto the bottom of their shoe WTH?

All petty and neurotic, I am aware.

hah, right.

Physician married to a physician here and we both teach at local medical schools. Average tuition at GW, Georgetown, Hopkins med schools is now just under $80K/year (not including living expenses) x 4 years. Average pediatrician out of residency makes ~$100k. ~$150K for an internist. Average student at GW this year (for example) graduated with $280K debt (not including undergrad).

Unless they're at the top of their medical school class and are entering lucrative sub specialty fields, today's medical students are by-in-large screwed. They'll be paying off their medical school debt and living paycheck to paycheck until they're 65. They glory days of medicine are over. We're hoping our kids go into law or finance.

Genuinely curious - those costs are to pay your salaries? Malpractice insurance? Have you ever asked WHY student are charged so much?

More power to 'em - wish I could get away with not shaving -

BUT do they shave under their arms?

No, no, no

Why there are women Republicans.

Why are there GAY Republicans?

Ann Coulter says that gay people should be Republicans because once science is able to genetically determine homosexuality in the womb, "people will start aborting the gays." Of course, this is offensive because it assumes that there is something wrong with gay people? I don't care if my kid is gay just like I don't care if he's tall or short or has freckles or if he prefers math or English classes or red or blue.

Me first, what's up with black women who don't shave their legs? It doesn't bother me, and in fact, I am friends with, and have known a few women who don't shave but they have always been a.) white b.) a hippy or gutter punk type or c.) gay. It always throws me off when I see a very well groomed, attractive and nicely dressed black woman with hairy legs. Why do you do it? Is it personal preference? Laziness? Some sort of political statement? And it's not like they are trying to hide it either. . .

You would be surprised how many men find hairy legs attractive. It's supposed to mean you're really good where it matters.

I'd probably be surprised how many men are into scat too. But that doesn't make it ok.
