Ugh. So annoying and so completely unnecessary. Also, WTF at them requiring you look at anything that you are expected to procure for yourself- not that I wouldn't be happy to skip it. Will you say what state this is?
I think you might be glad that you are doing the D&E over the pill. It should be less painful physically for you and it's more efficient, so you can just get it over with.
I hate that you have to drag this out over so many weeks when I'm sure you are ready now.
ITA, the D&E shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes. If you're only 3 weeks past your LMP you may want to wait until you're closer to 6 weeks. It's a bit safer to get the D&E at that point because there's a reduced risk of tissue being left behind and such. I know around me most doctors don't like to do them prior to 6 weeks and the ones that do charge extra
Yeah ... no. It does matter. If you're doing something clearly wrong, then the powers that be can get a warrant, until then it's a violation of 4th amendment rights. If we're just going to blatantly start axing amendments are you ok with me crossing off the 2nd? Probably not
I don't even know how to respond to this. Have you ever worked in law enforement? Do you know how long it takes to get a warrant?
^o)
Well, sure, it probably does take a little while to get a warrant if you have NO EVIDENCE to support it.
I am surprised that in this day in age, where our own citizens have been comitting mass shootings, bombings, etc. and working WITH other contries and terriorist groups, that anyone would think he is a whistleblower. The way I see it, "spying" on citizens only matters if you are doing something wrong (ie. planning malicious acts against other Americans). You aren't doing anything, no one actually reviews data on you. I am fine giving up some freedom so additional security for the general population of America.

That may be true in generalities, but this specific circumstance did not involve a woman of privilege. She lived in Sec. 8 housing. I grew up on Pigeon Hill in Bloomington IN, so my early experiences with what abortion was and who was getting it involved almost exclusively poor women and teenagers. This is one of the reasons why, generally, I am fiercely protective of abortion rights. In fact, even this woman's gender selection abortion, while morally repugnant I don't think should have been illegal. But the question was "Do you judge" and yeah, looking back on that as a 35 year old, I judge the hell out of it. At 11, I barely understood what she was talking about. At any rate, no, she was not living in privilege.
I was just trying to imagine an instance where I would judge, but like I said, I still don't see myself judging if that's what someone feels they need to do. My capacity to judge reasons people want/have abortions got lost about 4 years ago. I will judge hard for all sorts of things, but I have almost no capacity to do so with abortions.
The only thing I judge is when one family thinks their reason for having an abortion is more legitimate than someone else's. In 5 years of funding abortions I have yet to find a single reason I judge. These are real people with reasons that are very real to them even if they're not reasons someone else would decide to have an abortion.
I apply a "reasonable person" standard to almost all behavior. I generally judge people who fall outside that definition. Getting a gender selection abortion on the cusp of viability is pretty morally indefensible.
I feel like most people who would do something like that are privileged enough to find the sex out as early as possible and have their abortion prior to 20 weeks. Even then though, a second tri abortion is a two day not at all fun procedure and if someone feels that strongly about terminating that they're willing to go through that I still have a hard time judging.
I have a feeling the outliers on the reasonable person scale are not the people struggling to pay for abortions that I talk to. The more privileged someone is the easier I find it to judge

This is why you don't send FB invites if you actually need a headcount. I don't take FB invites seriously and only RSVP to them if I'm going because most people invite their entire friend list to their events and I can't seriously believe I need to RSVP if you've invited half the damn planet. Also, not everyone gets notifications of events, so yeah, if you want people to actually RSVP, you should probably email an evite or send paper invites. Then you at least have a legitimate reason for expecting RSVPs
Yay! I was thinking about you ths weekend when we were streaming the shows. You need to get some glow sticks. The Dollar store or the dollar sections in Target and Michaels usually have them. You want the bracelet kind, NOT the fatter ones you can tie to a string. There are usually ten in a tube. Trust me on this and get yourself several tubes! Shows are usually over around 11 or 11:30 (damn noise ordinances!) but the lot will be hopping much later. Grab a grilled cheese and walk around for a bit. I'd tell the babysitter you'll be home around 12:30 or 1. Have fun!! I'm so jealous!
ITA, they usually play until whatever the curfew is for the particular venue
This banning abortions after 20 weeks that is currently in the house is pissing me off.
Do these men really think women just decide to have an abortion after 20 weeks for giggles? because they couldn't find the time to do it sooner?
My question is how many abortions after 20 weeks are not because of some genetic abnormality or the health of the mother (and by health of the mother I'm willing to look only at physical health)?
The other common instances for post 20 weeks are because they don't know how to pay for it and have to save up/it takes them that long to find an abortion fund and young kids who have been molested often tend to have abortions later because it takes longer for others to find out
The closest one is like 30 minutes from us, but we went a few weeks ago to get dd to sleep in the car. Now at the new house I keep getting the flyer for one, but I have NO idea where it is. Why would they send me one for a store that far away.
Their website sucks, so it's not like I can go there and find all locations.
You can find the locations on their website. It's the most basic website ever, but it's not hard to find locations. You can also do a google search for Market Basket near (your town).
I don't know why everyone is mad at the sister. She may have been a minor when this started making her husband a predator and maybe she should have protected her sister better from this asshole.
Op this marriage is not worth saving.
OP's age according to her profile is 29, she said sister is 5 years younger, so 24. It sounds like the skinny dipping happened 3 years ago, which would make the sister 21. You could have at least tried to figure it out before blaming this on the OP
Good call! I may have to check it out. Is Windsor Button still open?
No, so sad I did get a little bit of yarn before they closed, but their sale never went above 50% off. There was still tons of yarn left the last day and they said it was going to a wholesaler.
So mekia can't be upset for her students because of something her FIL did (or might have done)? How does that make sense?
Mekia could be upset for her students if she didn't question whether or not the children her FIL molested were telling the truth. I do not believe you can be so upset over a list, while not being just as upset over young girls that were molested and have any credibility. If you question whether or not the multiple young girls were molested and don't truly believe them, then you are not adequately caring about the molestation of 6 year olds. So, sure she can care about her students, but it makes the lack of caring about those little girls glaringly obvious and I for one can't sit back and watch that kind of hypocrisy.
This still doesn't feel real and it still hurts a lot. Everyday I wonder WHY, WHY did he do this to the family? And then I come up with so many possible answers like maybe he wanted to protect us, maybe he was embarrassed, maybe he was guilty, maybe he couldn't do this anymore, etc. Read more: pandce.proboards.com/thread/135025/sympathy-cards#ixzz2SGPLkhYZ

Mekia, how can you possible have so little self awareness? You are sick over this, yet still stuck by your FIL who, unlike this guy who has seemingly just made a list of teenage girls, actually molested young children. Oh wait, I forgot, you don't "know for sure" when it comes to your FIL, right?
This post is disgusting and not just because of the dude with the list.

We had a Jr and Sr prom at our school and there was a Freshman/Sophomore Semi that for all intents and purposes was a prom. Plus other schools. I loved proms and would go with people who wanted to go with a friend and enjoy themselves rather than try to impress someone. Going to that many meant borrowing dresses and getting cheap ones. I think the only even remotely expensive dress I bought was my Jr prom dress and it was $100.
Post by PinkSquirrel on Apr 24, 2013 9:15:19 GMT -5
I don't even understand how that is possible. I went to 8 proms in high school and I think combined about $1200 was spent. I can't even comprehend spending that damn much on prom

Ok, so back in college (ie when we were young and dumb) we read that if you ate enough nutmeg it would make you trip. So, we all pooled our resources and bribed a friend to try it. It was quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever witnessed. There is video of it somewhere. I really hope nutmeg does less damage because now I feel bad about it, but damn it was funny
Is there no monitoring system on debit cards? With my credit card I regularly get phone calls to make sure it's me using the card if I go to two different pet stores in the same day. I can't imagine something like this being missed.
My bank monitors debit cards. There was fradulent activity on my H's debit card a month or so ago, we got a call right away and a new card was issued.
I think I might be the only person in the world who doesn't really like Fiestaware lol
You are not. I really don't "get" them. Sure, they have lots of colors, but the bowl shape annoys me and they seem overpriced for basic plates and dishes.

I'm so disgusted that they're actually referring to the murder of children that have been born as abortion. They are two different things and it's clearly a biased and inauthentic way of telling the story. What this man did was murder children. full stop. end of story. There is not a single person that is pro abortion rights that would ever condone his behavior. As sbp was saying, this is 100% a result of access to abortions being denied to women.
Additionally, when there are shady doctors, they are hard to get shut down despite reporting them because so much time and effort is being placed on creating more restrictive laws and not paying attention to what is actually going on.
"Last fall, a Massachusetts proposal to allow physician-assisted suicide was narrowly defeated thanks in part to substantial funding from the Catholic church and right-to-life groups, which oppose the action on moral and ethical grounds"
There were actually a ton of people I know who voted against it because the law itself wasn't well written. I don't remember the exact details of why, but I know loads of people who are rabidly pro abortion rights and who do abortion work who voted against the law because it left holes for abuse. I have a feeling that had the law offered the proper protections it would have passed.
This is a terribly sad story, but how black is my heart that, when I saw this headline, I assumed the father shot the mother and is blaming the child? Am I the only one who thinks this?
I thought the same thing before I read the article
