I'm moving to a new place in a few weeks. Anybody know where I could get some decent cheap/free boxes?

I've had excellent luck with grocery stores too. Apple, orange and banana boxes are all pretty much the same, and are all sturdy, a manageable size, and have handles. Bonus: your stuff smells like fruits when you're unpacking!

I don't know if you are a high school student or not. In my experience as a student, I bought my books from the school. You may be able to do this at the beginning or end of term even if you aren't a student. Otherwise, maybe places like salvation army or value village would have them turn up occasionally?

Women's 12 here. I'm just glad my feet aren't super narrow, so men's shoes fit just fine.

Next time you see her at the gym, at least make eye contact and smile. She may realize that she caught you off guard earlier, but that you're still trying to at least be friendly.

Re:looking like Brad Pitt. Just because you don't think you're that good looking doesn't me she doesn't. Plus, you both go to the same gym, so you've automatically got something in common!

So, no pants=modesty? I'll keep that in mind. :D

My dad had severe asthma when I was a kid (it's gotten better since we closed the family pet store and he's not around dander all day), and even in elementary school, I knew that if Mom was calling the ambulance for Dad (yes, I saw it happen a number of times), that meant we needed to get the bin with his pills from the cupboard and gather up his inhalers so that the EMTs and doctors knew what they were dealing with.

Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better. I hope for your sake you never find a lump on your testes...you'll be in for quite a shock.

In this context, I'm sure it doesn't. I believe what he means by "equal to 3lbs of sugar" is that is the sweetness equivalent of sugar. Liquid sweeteners tend to be many times sweeter than regular sugar, and therefore requires much smaller amounts to have the same effect on taste.

Glad to hear it. I just like to make sure, as not everyone is so vigilant. :)

Maybe link to it somewhere other than a private dropbox account?

That's very true that there are other possibilities, and I hope for OP's sake that her doctor is right, and it is nothing. However, the test is no worse than getting a PAP, and far better than the complications chlamydia can cause when left untreated.

aranel120 · 12 days

A sensitive/easy to make bleed cervix can be a symptom of chlamydia. Your doctor is an idiot if she told you it was nothing to worry about and didn't run any tests.

My mom hopped on the nitrate band wagon too. Now if she buys processed meat (she's never bought much of it) she buys this stuff that's cured with celery juice. Guess what's a really big source of nitrates? Yep, celery.

Yep. For me its the texture of the rice that gets me before I even get to the taste of the rest of it.

How do you define sex? Penis in vagina? Or are we counting all intimate acts that involve the female's genitals? Because I would absolutely give up PiV sex to get rid of my periods.

You may be referring to their mannerisms, which can definitely be recognizable, but their physical appearance is no different than mine or yours. You may also be thinking of Down's syndrome, or something to that effect?

Aleehaandraa · 13 days

Exactly. You may notice repetitive behaviors, or speech patterns, but if you look at a photograph of an autistic person and a non-autistic person, you won't be able to tell the difference.

Aleehaandraa · 13 days

Congratulations to your brother. I have an autistic cousin, and I can't think of a day I was more proud of someone than the day he graduated.

Aleehaandraa · 13 days

It's not a physical condition. A person doesn't "look autistic."

Don't know if you have allergies to consider or not, but I would add some nuts and some almond flour. You can make all sorts of yummy things with flax meal, but if you want a bread replacement, almond meal is where it's at.

So? I hadn't seen it before. Looks like at least 817 other people who upvoted it haven't, either.

Sorry, you don't get to use the bible as a source in a scientific conversation.

The trick to a successful low carb diet is to up your fat intake. You also have to fight through the first bit while your body adjusts to a low carb diet. I am about as active as OP, and do just fine on 20-50g of carbs per day.

I eat a somewhat lazy keto diet, and I just discovered shiritaki noodles last week. I made my first dish with them today, and they are fantastic! I could see the texture being a bit of an issue for some people, but I loved them.
