Reading about molar pregnancy
posted 3 years agoI am reading about molar pregnancy. I’ve never heard of it before and it’s really bizarre. It almost always occurs when a sperm fertilizes an empty egg that has no nucleus. The fertilized egg will typically end up diploid with all chromosomes coming from the father. The “hydatiform mole” is not a fetus or zygote, and of course it’s never viable at all, but it will grow very rapidly. They are a semi-common complication, occuring once out of every thousand pregnancies. They have to be aborted as soon as possible because there’s a decent chance they these moles will actually turn into a form of cancer called chariocarcinoma. Chariocarninoma is malignant and aggressive. It often spreads to the lungs.
So basically, usually when you have conception->implantation->pregnancy, it’s the result of two haploid cells, a sperm and an egg combining into a zygote. Some people put up billboards that say “If you’re pregnant, it’s a baby” and “life starts at conception”. But you can also have a “conception” and “pregnancy” without a zygote. Basically, you can conceive and become pregnant with a metastic tumor. I wonder, would religious anti-abortion advocates argue that a hydatiform mole has a soul and should be protected from abortion, or is it an exception to the “human life starts at conception” principle?

Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake
2,600 calories
135 g fat (59 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fats)
263 g sugars
1,700 mg sodium
We didn’t think anything could be worse than Baskin Robbins’ 2008 bombshell, the Heath Bar Shake. After all, it had more sugar (266 grams) than 20 bowls of Froot Loops, more calories (2,310) than 11 actual Heath Bars, and more ingredients (73) than you’ll find in most chemist labs.
Rather than coming to their senses and removing it from the menu, they did themselves one worse and introduced this caloric catastrophe. It¹s soiled with more than a day’s worth of calories and three days worth of saturated fat, and, worst of all, usually takes less than 10 minutes to sip through a straw.Click link for more…
A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the
most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in
the second. In the third everything had just been reduced to a fiver
when her mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that
her husband had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical
condition and in the ICU.
The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and thatshe’d be there as soon as possible.
As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to beher best day ever in the shops. She decided to get in a couple of more
shops before heading to the hospital.
She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with acup of coffee and a beautiful cream slice complementary from the last
shop. She was jubilant.
Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to thehospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her
husband’s condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, ‘You
went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn’t you! I hope you’re
proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying
yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive
Care Unit! It’s just as well you went ahead and finished, because it
will more than likely be the last shopping trip you ever take! For the
rest of his life he will require round the clock care. And you’ll now
be his carer!’
The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed………..The lady doctor then chuckled and said, ‘I’m just pulling your leg.
He’s dead. What did you buy?
Would you like to really return to the 1980s? Do you dream of living in the world of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Now you can! You can buy Cameron Frye’s house, complete with Ferrari showroom, and live in it. Your friends can say it’s very cold, and very beautiful, like a museum. You can lie there under your covers in the dark, insist that you’re dying, and sing “When Cameron was in Egypt’s land, let my Cameron go.” Naturally, you can also send your Ferrari flying through a plate glass window… but I recommend sticking to the less destructive aspects of recreation.
The Daily Herald reports that it went on the market last week for $2.3 million and not surprisingly, its ’80s status has already attracted a lot of interest as everyone longs to walk the halls of Cameron Frye. In real life, the house isn’t as cold as a museum, and really does keep a collection of cars in the glass pavilion. Alas, they’re not included in the sale price (you’ll have to buy your own Ferrari), but it sounds like they’re throwing in the pavilion’s mini Ferris Bueller museum. If you love this movie, $2.3 million is a bargain!

posted 3 years ago“In China, a guy contemplating suicide was actually pushed over a bridge by someone else. Chen Fuchao, piled under massive debt, was standing on a bridge when Lai Jiansheng, 66, decided he was sick of what he considered to be a “selfish activity.” Fuchao’s standing on the bridge had police quartering off the area, and traffic got backed up. Jiansheng shook Fuchao’s hand, and shoved him off the bridge, saluting him on the way down. Yeah. Luckily, Chinese authorities had already partially inflated an emergency cushioning, and Fuchao is in the hospital with spinal injuries; it looks like he’s going to survive.”

posted 4 years agothe look on the cashier/ baggers face at the grocery store when they ask if plastic is ok and I say
“no, I don’t need any bags actually”
and turn and take off my messenger bag and then tell the bagger I’ll bag them myself.
This is especially fun if said bagger asks before the total is given and the total is over $100 worth of groceries which I promptly put into my bag and throw over my shoulder.
I like the look on the bagger’s face when I still say thank you and all he did was watch. He never knows what to say back. I just smile and walk out the door, hop on my bike and ride home.
