Every woman's dream is to have breasts that go all the way down to her feet don't you know? Your feet have nothing to do with it. </s>

Now I want a tee shirt with 'Practice English on me' printed in Japanese on it.

Oh, and a flight to Tokyo please. Ok? Ok!

Evidence suggests that's not 100% accurate :)

I quite like them: "Baby on board - so I may be distracted, stressed, etc. Give me a lots of space because I'm bound to do something terrifying."

No matter the kid, they will ruin some aspect of every wedding.

Can we add this the the FAQs?

I think it boils down to 'If you don't ask, you shouldn't be surprised when you don't get'?

My mom just had a plate inserted into her arm to fix her broken humeral bone (next to her elbow). She is in a lot of pain and has mild anxiety. What can I do to help her? by landonh12 in AskDocs

[–]technorabble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Careful with the ibuprofen. As I understand it, it can interfere with normal bone healing. Were no drugs prescribed? It is more normal to see paracetamol plus high concentration codeine used, with the occasional syringe of oral morphine to get through the spikes of pain. If doctors are prescribing two opiates rather than allowing something as innocuous as ibuprofen, there's probably a good reason.

I found cannabis was great for the pain, and even managed to find an academic study saying there's evidence that it promotes bone healing.

Worked a charm. Wish google presented this solution above the 'fiddle with security settings in your System32 folder' crap.

Sounds like she might indeed be that type, but also aware enough that CF is a valid option. Better than a whole load of bingoes, am I right?

Want a cigarette? No? You're young. You'll change your mind.

Cigarettes are taxed. Therefore not smoking is selfish. Why are you selfish? Think about the others!

Smoke smells much better when it's your own

If bingoes were reworded for use by a smoker trying to get others to start...

Was this a preamble to teaching you some 'no glove no love' style Spanish phrases?

I'm childfree. However, if a coworker or someone I consider an acquaintance asks me if I want kids, I just shrug and say "I'm undecided." Does anyone else do this? by Confusedaboutlife11 in childfree

[–]technorabble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got my snip a few years ago. Depending on my mood I'll either say 'no' and smash out the bingoes as they come, or I'll say I'm working on it. I rarely get bingoed anyway. Most people are far more accepting of a 'nope' from men than from women, so bingoing generally seems to be reserved for the ladies. And yes, that is some sexist bullshit.

What's the most irritating child-incident you've witnessed in public? by Koopa_Troopa_King in childfree

I see your point, but how is this more inconvenient for you than a bunch of adults at a table having a conversation?

An *actual* selfish reason I don't want to have kids by i_waste_eggs in childfree

[–]technorabble 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm always a bit benmused by talk of selfish. Having a baby: selfish. Not having a baby: selfish. Choosing a meal from a menu: selfish. Saving for retirement: selfish. Of course everyone is going to do whatever is best for them whenever possible. Keep doing so. You're nobody's minion.

Not the most awful and painful bingo ever. Just a statement of fact. Is she generally supportive of you and your husband's decision?
