> Worse myths exist around tampons--that a woman who uses a tampon is no longer a virgin. Lest someone believe this is a belief held only in rural areas, let it be clear that ideas like this are incredibly common in not-so-rural places

The minimum balance required to enter is now $1.75, which I think is the minimum BART fare. (The minimums depend on which transit system you use.) You can't go negative at all, so you have to add your fare to the card before you can le

The first Facebook page I saw immediately after marking myself as "engaged" started showing me wedding related ads, and I fully expect "married" in a month will mean ads for home buying and baby clothes. It was a nice ch

I think the US slant is a shame (or does Amazon have multiple lists?) but... There are some really good books classed as "young adult" that I think are done a big disservice just by being labeled as such. Many of them are very acc

It's not the $6+ or the service as much as it is my existing bread preferences. Like if all they did was offer Firebrand bread you couldn't pay me to buy that or spend my time even looking at the service, whereas I would pay $15 f

(I live in SF) You should list some of the bakers you get bread from on the site/signup and not just in the app. I'm hesitating signing up because I have no real interest in bread delivery unless it's from certain bakeries th

I think D3's AH failing was using real money, not just balancing or buying gear by default. Buying gear in WoW is easy and a given up to a point, but limited to in-game currency. To buy some of the best gear, you just have to be the ow

I feel like TSA is relaxing some of the security measures, just a bit - perhaps so there is no major media outrage so people will still trust them. Here and there there have been times my fiancé has not been made to take everything off and

I think the best way to do it is to ask organizers to set up codes of conduct for larger or regular events, and for smaller events to just outright be like "what do you think you're doing? that's not appropriate" if &quo

The biggest reason why I avoided buying a restaurant in SF is because there is no answer to the problem you outline, yet. Hiring and keeping employees was a clusterfuck. A lot of them lived in East Bay or Daly City, and this was a problem I

In some cases it makes sense for sure. I'm guessing that or something like that is probably why Lucentis is also a blockbuster drug. If the price makes sense then what's the point in thinking any more about it? I would just go wit
