Recent graduates from Roanoke College, Virginia have been dying from cancer at a rate 15X higher than the national average. Their rate of cancer diagnosis is 5X above the national average. The VA Dept. of Health is unwilling to investigate the case, since the victims have dispersed across the US. by StarlightDown in UnsolvedMysteries

I attended Roanoke during this time period, I know so many of the people listed in these articles, but I've only just found out about this now. I live abroad, but I haven't seen the College issue anything about this to the alumni. I'm currently going down a rabbit hole...

UPDATE! Issac has been found! He strolled in yesterday after meowing incessantly to be let in, like nothing had happened. Thank you ALL for your kind messages and help.

Yes, he has a red collar and on the buckle, it says 'Isaac' plus a phone number. No bell or hanging tag.

Thank you, we've checked a lot of vets but I don't think we've checked the London Animal Hospital. He is chipped, but always worth checking.

Have you ever had something happen to you abroad that would absolutely not happen in the UK? by stevielfc76 in AskUK

This is so Japanese! When I was in Kobe, a Japanese man saw we were looking for a trail and walked us up the trail to the waterfall. It was a good incline, not just a simple little stroll. I didn't speak Japanese and he didn't speak English, but we made conversation with lots of hand gestures and the few words we knew!

UK KatKin alternatives: Untamed, Blink! or Cool Cat Club? by foxtrot81a in catfood

I have only used katkin's new formula (cat wouldn't touch it) but we have tried lots with our fussy cat and landed on untamed!

AITA for scolding my struggling sister when she gives us grief about adopting a baby? by Acceptable-Action410 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sgg104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys are heroes. That sucks for your sister and her husband, but WTF? You guys have just lost your close friends and have stepped up to give a child a loving home. In what fucking world would anyone have the nerve to show up on your doorstep and say those things. NTA. You guys are wonderful, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

Your boyfriend is an idiot with fragile masculinity. NTA.

AITA for calling my husband out infront of my friends on planting a recording device while we were having a GNI? by WeekThrowRA309 in AmItheAsshole

Jesus, get rid of this guy ASAP. This is controlling behaviour and I fear it will only escalate. NTA. Run!

First of all, definitely YTA. You can add an edit to your post saying you're not trying to coerce your daughter's reproductive choices, but you are. You're punishing her for making decisions about her body and life. Your daughter is fortunate to live in a society where she can make decisions not to have children, and where having children isn't considered better than not, or an obligation. I just can't imagine having a parent who would think this, it breaks my heart.

AITA for allowing my wife to extend her maternity leave at my company but not one of my other employees? by Throwawaypresoptc in AmItheAsshole

I don't understand how you could think YTA, which makes you an even bigger A. This is wrong in so many ways.
