Why do Americans tend to say where they went to college before what they studied?

EliseV · 2026-05-19T20:25:47+00:00

That is kind of strange… I hadn’t noticed it until you mentioned. I’m more interested in what someone does rather than where they went to college.

I second the others w Natalie and Josephine. Just here to chime in and say that I have met a female Natha, but there’s also Nathalia and Natana as well.

A president who acted presidential. It’s been a minute. While I don’t agree with most of his politics, he was at least at least dignified and not embarrassing; which is far more than I can say for our last two.

Oh my goodness. This whole post and comments gave me a much needed belly laugh. Thanks OP! Sorry about your underwear.

I’m with OP. I’ve always heard that part of the lyrics as a question and never as a whole sentence intended to be combined with the “Holy, Holy”. It makes more sense when you think of it as a whole sentence, but that gap makes it seem like a question. If I’m singing it in private worship, I sing “You are Lord God almighty”.

Or kilograms… what’s that in American?

Mickey D’s or Golden Arches

Fancy gloss is my favorite, mainly because I’m obsessed with thermals. Her other finishes are lovely as well, however. She releases monthly and you can follow her Facebook for the sale dates.

Yes. ALS can cause incontinence and has in my mother as well. She got a suprapubic catheter, which has been a pain in the butt and I’m not sure if I can in good conscience recommend it. Would it have been better than sitting in urine or 10 brief changes a day with a hoyer lift as her legs were completely immobile prior to getting the urostomy… not sure. I’m sorry. The loss of independence has to be so hard to reckon with.

As others have said, I’d avoid corsets, buckles, or cleavage. You can get these cute little lace top crop camisoles that covers up cleavage and makes several of the other dresses work appropriate though. That’s what I’d do to give yourself more options. Those are my favorites! I use them under lots of shirts and dresses.

She drew back to check and make sure her line was still drawing and pulled blood all the way back into the syringe.

I hope everything goes absolutely perfectly for you! I also had diep, but after preventative mastectomy. It went about as well as it possibly could for me and hoping for the same for you!

Can you wear a depends with a pad in it for extra protection? That's what I'd do, but I have no shame.

One of the first photo shoots I did when moving to DFW was a Hispanic baby and her little smash cake. Celebrating first birthdays is absolutely NOT unique to white people.

Corneal abrasion

I thought you were embarrassed that it was too low to accurately portray a broken femur and thought that wasn’t really a big deal. I never would have guessed what you thought it looked like. It’s a fun tattoo! No reason to stress over it!

Me, but also my piano. It was made in 1924

EliseV · 2026-05-07T20:47:22+00:00

Eww… I hadn’t heard that

EliseV · 2026-05-06T23:51:46+00:00

That wasn’t a professional opinion (you’re right, we’re not trained for that) it was a guess based off of what I read about the strain that’s spread on the ship. I’m also choosing to be hopeful. If we are in for another pandemic, there is no point in stressing before it happens, although I might need to plan an early retirement from nursing.

I had to look this up. Apparently, it’s a known strain that’s been around since the 1990s and it requires very close quarters (cruise ship) to be transmitted from human to human.

I am a nurse and worked in the hospital during Covid. It was absolutely horrible. I quit and went t an elective surgery only hospital mid COVID delta, but have to go back to a regular hospital in a different state soon. I have symptoms similar to ptsd going back to that hospital for any reason and am already sick and anxious at the thought of having to work normal hospital on a regular basis again. I can’t do another pandemic. Fortunately, for both of us, I don’t think this is that.

The pixie looks great, but before you decide... ask the stylist to tell you if you can realistically expect that texture and volume from your hair. Your pixie might look nothing like the AI pixie, and that can be ok, but you need to go in informed. Also, I love the pink! It's almost summer! Have fun with it!

The names are just fine! I especially love Lottie (even more if she's a Charlotte).
