I was in hospital for ten days due to an infection after a prostate biopsy (look it up).

On discharge day, the consultant came round with an attractive woman (a registrar I think) called Claudia.

All was fine but my blood pressure was high. He said "we won't worry about that, we make allowances for the Claudia effect".

Yeah maybe. But if they did it'd cost $695 to save $930 of points (still $235 ahead though.)

AmEx is known for clawing back the SUB if you don't hold the card for 12+ months. Their AF for Gold or Platinum really sucks the joy out of the SUB if you can't make use of the extra perks you're paying for. That's what is personally keeping me away from AmEx for the time being. I don't use Uber and there isn't a Cheesecake Factory near me, but if so I'd consider the AmEx Gold for the $240 credit I could get back.

I had to get a minor outpatient surgery and the anithesisologist (no clue how to spell sorry) was SO HOT. My husband was sitting right next to me too. Guy did my IV and then gave my hand a squeeze and said he’d take good care of me. Walked away. I swooned. Hubs was like “hellooo right here” and the nurse just goes “girl I KNOW”

Don’t feel too bad, it was an honest mistake. Is your nephew reading at a high level? If he is you can have a discussion with him about the contents of the book and what he understands, unless his mother has completely nixed the book. I don’t really see an issue with it, but at 7 years old I was reading Pet Sematary, Firestarter, and The Shining and the like with my parents’ permission because they knew my comprehension level.

I kind of did things backwards growing up, and couldn't speak in an understandable way until I was 7/8 until I went to speech therapy, however had read all the books in my school library and the individual class libraries I'd been given permission to raid by that point. Being such a voracious reader my family just let me get on with it, so there wasn't any oversight. In those early days I was mostly into Victorian horror, which on its own is probably too much for the pearl clutches, but there was ample sex, drugs, and violence throughout other books. Particularly Piers Anthony with Bio of a Space Pirate and his Tarot series being early reads. Literally no negative repercussions. I would go so as to posit that training children only to be children, withholding key facets of the human condition, is probably doing far more harm.

That's pretty funny.

Reminds me of the time my family gave our two sheltered cousins a DVD for a movie called 100 girls.

We got it back shortly after.

Turns out it was about a guy who gets stuck with a girl in an elevator when the lights go out and they have an intense romance in the dark. When he wakes up she is gone and all be remembers is her titties would fit a champagne glass. To find her in the female dorm he tries dating all of them.

Shenanigans ensue.

Too funny, the anesthesiologist who did my last epidural the nurses apologized saying he was in a mood, he was serious but professional, but the guy looked and sounded exactly like Philip Seymour Hoffman. He caught wind of my remark and came back saying his wife calls him Philip when she's mad and he started doing impressions during my labor it was hilarious.

A few years ago I was taking a medication with priapism being a rare unknown side effect. I woke up with a painful erection and it wasn't going away. Well after the 4 hour mark and an awkward conversation with my then girlfriend we went to the emergency room.

It was awkward enough having to check in with a waiting room full of people hearing me. I was praying the doctor would be a man in his 70s. Instead it was a tall attractive young blonde.
