“Wow! That IS big news.”
Jonathan Frakes recognized Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley as "the Dungeons & Dragons guys.” Goldstein and Daley directed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
“May they live long and prosper, and stay safe, and come in on budget and on time, and they’ll do fine.”

“Endometriosis is a disease that affects 1 in 10 women. I am 1 in 10. This past week I had my second endometriosis surgery. My first was two years ago at age 17 where @seckinmd removed 21 lesions. I am incredibly grateful to have been treated by 3 of the very best Endometriois excision surgeons in the world (seriously ask Google) @camrannezhatmd @seckinmd and @drchu_endodoc. The trip to nyc was pretty tough on me last surgery so I had my surgery in CA with Dr. Nezhat who removed 24 lesions from my ovaries, fallopian tubes, intestines, nerves in my back, bladder & more. I was doing everything I could to manage my endo symptom – anti-inflammatory diet, supplements, acupuncture, lymphatic drainage massages, managing stress & more but needed this second surgery. I am so grateful to be healing now #endowarrior #endometriosis @endofound
