That will tell you if he uses it a lot or a little, although it won't give you an accounting of who he has sent/received things from, the total number of things is helpful in telling you how he uses it. A friend discovered her boyfriend cheating when his score kept going up by hundreds every day.
In addition, your "gold star" friend is someone who you send and receive things directly to/from, not just someone who looks at your stories.
It would be an awfully big coincidence for him and this woman happen to be each other's number one just by chance.

Don't buy office without checking to see if his college provides it free for students. The last three colleges I've attended/worked at do, so I think it's pretty common. My students are always mad because they show up having spent a buttload on it only to find that out on day one.

I have crohn's and had a similar problem after having a major resection. My doctor prescribed cholestid instead of cholestyramine, which is fundamentally the same thing, but comes in pill form. If the taste part is a big deterrent, there are other options!

Term limits are usually a Republican issue, so I'm not sure how it would help Democrats or other leftists to back it.
We have term limits in our state legislature (Nebraska) and I think it's been terrible for getting shit done and getting along. We have really talented people who can actually work across the aisle in our ostensibly non-partisan legislature sitting at home right now because they arbitrarily reached the limit some Republicans chose ten years ago.
And in NE, they were basically created to cut off the legislative career of the most progressive state senators (Ernie Chambers) and prevent career politicians who could understand and use the system to promote minority group values from gaining a voice (right now the NE senate is 49 people with 15 D and 1 independent) .

I've never made mac and cheese with nutritional yeast, but I have had the mac and shews from Post Punk Kitchen made for me, and that recipe uses it (http://www.isachandra.com/2011/02/mac-shews/). I liked it when a friend made it and when I had the equivalent dish at her restaurant.
Nutritional yeast is the bomb though. I put it on my kid's pasta all the time for added b-12 (vegetarians) and it just tastes and feels like parmesan.

You probably won't need it, but I have had REALLY good luck finding missing USPS packages after contacting the postmaster of the town the package was sent to. I recovered a pair of glasses that the company said was "impossible" to find and a box that my sister sent to a nonexistent address, just from emailing them. Don't worry yet!

I have extremely plain Easy Spirit e360s that I got at dsw for less than $50. They're really padded and soft, but they don't breathe very well and I don't love them when it's hot out. They work for me on my feet teaching all day though.

Zitkala-Sa's short stories/essay/memoirs (however you want to frame them) have gone over really well for me. NA literature tens to be really forgotten in many English programs, and she's from rural western SD, so not a totally unfamiliar world. Toni Morrison's Recitatif has been popular with other teachers in my school and is really useful for framing discussions. American Born Chinese is something I really want to teach someday, but haven't been able to yet.

They're franchised so it can be a really different experience from place to place. I worked as a receptionist at one location one summer in college. They don't pay the therapists super well (definitely not spa prices) so the quality can be a little hit or miss, but if you are nice to the receptionists and tell them what you want, it can be a good deal. Do the trial first to see what you think.

Last quarter, one of my students (I teach at a CC) asked me to stay after class to talk to her about her grade. As soon as we started talking, she handed me her "It Works" card and gave me the whole spiel.
And after I turned her down, she asked for extra credit.

You live in s great state for medical coverage. In CT, it isn't too hard for chronically ill people (or children) to qualify for husky. Hopefully the social worker can reassure you of your options so at least one worry can be off your shoulders. I'm sorry you're dealing with this though. I went through a cycle like this w few years ago at Hartford Hospital (40 min from home) and it was awful being so far from my life and so cooped up. Hope you get out soon.

If it's Browning published in the US, it's probably not a "true" first edition--just the first edition by that publisher, which means less value (sadly). Most American editions of British authors in this era were unauthorized reprints of British first editions.

Goetta is totally worth trying--I like it best in a grilled cheese or with breakfast. Sounds terrible, is awesome, and you can't really get it outside of town!

I have Crohn's and was on Budesonide (Entocort) when I found out I was pregnant too. I also took a category D medicine (mercaptopurine) and Remicade throughout. I met with a pregnancy risk counselor who researches the effects of drugs on babies. She went over the research with me and showed me the risks, and low they really were. She rolled her eyes when I told her my doctor's concern about the category D medicine, and said that the categories were actually a really ineffective way of measuring what the potential risks were, in part because they aren't based on much research and in part because OBs don't get a lot of training on how to interpret them. When I met with a MFM, they said all the same stuff, so I felt pretty confident about my choice to stay on my medicines. My baby is totally fine so far and I was never healthier than during pregnancy!
I don't know what other medications you are on, but Remicade is fine throughout pregnancy. They usually recommend timing a last dose between 30-32 weeks because it can cross the placenta in the third trimester. But, it means that you get it basically uninterrupted, since you can go back on it as soon as you deliver.
If you are in New England, I can send you the phone number of the pregnancy risk counselor.

I was on Cimzia until this summer. My story was pretty similar to yours--but after adding 6MP didn't help, my doctor had me move to Remicade. Cimzia just no longer seems to help my symptoms. However, Remicade made a huge difference right away and we were able to TTC right away again. As you can see from my ticker, that worked out pretty well and I'm due in less than a month!
Good luck--if Cimzia every 2 weeks isn't helping, I'm sure your doctor will seriously consider switching biologics.
If you almost barf when you're drinking the contrast, they can do it with only one bottle (I may have learned this one the hard way!)
Even though open enrollment for the ACA closed on 3/31, losing your previous health care coverage counts as a qualifying life event, which makes you eligible to sign up now.
I grew up eating them with honey in the midwest, but I get looked at like I have three heads if I ask for honey in Connecticut! I thought honey on McNuggets was a lot more embarrassing and weird than it appears to be.

I'm a part of the only group of employees at my university without a union. To cut costs this year, they yanked our stellar insurance and replaced it with a drastically worse one, with no communication until it was completely done (this will probably cost me an additional $6000+ next year alone). Have any one else's benefits been touched? No, because they actually get a say.
Unions are still valuable and it is incredibly short sighted to ignore how drastically working conditions will change without them.

I had to be NPO for the greater part of 6 weeks last summer (they kept letting me eat full liquids and then putting me back to NPO) and it was by far the worst, hardest experience of my life. Just smelling other peoples' food or watching my husband eat were torture. It is really hard to live while not being able to get a drink of water or even a cup of jello.

Flagyl sucks. You might try sucking peppermints when you feel really nauseous. The scent/taste helps combat some of it for me. But Zofran is really the best help.

I am just a lurker, but I have been so struck with your story. It has really stuck with me and honestly, I can't believe the amount of hard things you've had to take in the past two years. I'm sorry that it has been so hard for you, but you will get through this, you will feel better. You really, truly deserve it.
Few people could endure what you have been through and you will be such an inspiration to your girls when they are older.
