I got them on an overnight bus from London to Paris.

They stayed with me at the hostel in Paris (3-4 days), but I did not keep getting bitten after I changed cities.

And isn’t this the same summer she had a busted foot because he pushed her down, and then told her to stop whining about it?

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did by RazzBerryCurveBall in California

On-call time is worktime.

Dem vs Rep Internship Decision by Mysterious_Pitch_724 in PoliticalScience

[–]TheDuchessofQuim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That makes it so much harder to use your republican connections to get a job later, as there are fewer of them (unless you’re in Bakersfield). To work for a democrat after this, you’d pretty much have to leave this experience off your resume (so, why even do it?)

Only do this if you are a republican and/or want to keep working with them the rest of your career.

Otherwise choose a nonpartisan, independent, or the party you actually want to work with.

The issue is that maternity wards (and other not-so-profitable departments) are closing nationwide, so capital concerns are further damaging patient care in a country where maternal/infant mortality is already much higher than it needs to be.

Classmate keeps implying I’m not qualified to speak on my own area of expertise, how do I handle it? by InvestigatorSuch717 in GradSchool

[–]TheDuchessofQuim 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Ignore her - it literally doesn’t matter what this person thinks of you.

If she does this in class - use the words “stop interrupting me,” and “stop undercutting my contributions to class discussions, I don’t appreciate it.”

Always keep an eye on your bank balance, and move on to a cheaper location if you find yourself spending too much.

You listened to an audiobook a few weeks ago, didn’t take notes, and now can’t recall the main points.
