When Adolescents Want Tattoos or Piercings

Chipped teeth from tongue piercings or infected cartilage are among the health risks parents and pediatricians should watch for.

Fashions change.  Parents and children should know that.
Good tattoos are permanent.

Think how they will look as shin and hair age.
How they will look after a first degree burn.
How they would look to a law client.
How they will look in middle age on the beach.
How they will look to possible children.
Tattoos are a mask that does not come off.

Job Market

Kenneth Ziegler of Logicworks on Embracing Dysfunction

The chief executive of a cloud-management company says that as long as people don’t think they’re more important than the team, he can work them.

I was an artist when I went to college.
As the artist I was, I could not do course work.
I went to art school to study design because I wanted an income.
I still can't do course work.
I still don't have an income.
I do design.
I try to design art.

Giving Migraine Treatments the Best Chance

To be most effective, new therapies may require patients to recognize and respond to the early warning signs of a migraine.

Do what helps.

Opinion

The Shameful Embrace of Sean Spicer at the Emmys

In this morally addled country, fame matters more than the reasons for it.

"Conservative" politics are the problem.

Government should make the entire country better.

Minimal government cannot do that.

Deregulation does not do that.

Maximal profitability is destructive.

N.Y. / Region

Awkward Moment at the Barber Shop

A man is surprised to see someone he thought he’d left behind.

Timing becomes important.

A good barber is a treasure.  It is a skill I have not developed.

Food

Tradita

At Tradita, in the Norwood section of the Bronx, a wood-fired pizza oven turns out savory Albanian specialties. And you can still get a pizza if you want.

As convenient.

Opinion

Medicare, Hospitals and the ‘Two-Midnight Rule’

A doctor writes that Congress needs to change a rule that adversely affects all Medicare beneficiaries.

A change is unlikely.

I should look into more insurance.

The Life of a Live-in Super in Bedford-Stuyvesant

Tony Obey has spent most of his life within a few blocks of the large house converted to apartments where he works as the superintendent.

I could do the job.

I don't want to.   My time would not be my choice.
