My siblings and I were spanked all the time as kids with my dad's leather belt. While I may have turned out "fine" (that's debatable), it was abuse. My parents still refuse to see that.

Same situation for me except I've had to go through with it. My husband and I are finding it harder and harder to deal with people like this. We should start a support group, so we won't need the therapy.

No. I frankly don't need to spend some time in therapy or making reparations in order to make you feel better because I decided my life and being there for my EXISTING child was more important than gestating, which could kill me. I don't owe you a damn thing, but I do owe my daughter every bit of time I can give her. …

Don't forget Barenaked Ladies and Alanis Morissette. The 90's and early aughts wouldn't have been the same without them.

NM is Mountain Time, so in about 45 minutes

I think that depends on where you are in the state. I've lived in 'Burque all my life and we're pretty on the ball with that, at least we were before the Abstinence only craze.

Not to mention that New Mexicans as a whole have a "eh, it's none of my business" look on a lot of social issues and we don't like it AT ALL when groups from Texas try to foist a piece of crap ordinance on us.

Maybe she spent those three hours on her cell phone trying to call for help before it died and then went to knock on doors. The original news reports said she went to ask for help because her phone was dead. Maybe she was disoriented from being drunk and just in an accident and sat down on a curb and passed out for a…

This may not be a popular opinion, but I honestly don't understand why this is a big deal. I would NEVER sit down with out looking first. In my time I've seen it all: BUGS, Pee on the seat, snake in the toilet, things that should not be flushed knocked in by pets/kids, backups, etc. and there are seriously more…

The big tell for me is no mesquite or creosote along the shoulder and tons of saltbush and juniper in the distance. There's another picture in on twitter facing east that shows the Rio Grande and a big mesa close so I almost think it could be near Isleta. I could be wrong though! I may have to take a drive this…

Right? Definitely is north bound I-25, and north of Soccoro based on the vegetation, but that leaves from there to the CO border....

I've observed the opposite, but I'm not in the Bible Belt. Most of the mom's I know (myself included) got more pro-choice after having kids in a "that was hard, no one should be forced to do it" kind of way.

Just got finished hosting a wine and cheese tasting bridal shower for my baby sister. It went off amazingly well considering a sizable chunk of the guests didn't drink and the weird family drama that's gone on behind the scenes for years. My sister had a great time and my mom even said she was proud that I pulled it…

You have my hair. I live in a dry climate so I use a lot of moisturizing products. I only wash with a moisturizing shampoo every other day at the most. I loooooove Aveda's dry remedy line when I can afford it. Makes my hair look amazing. When I'm broke I use Nexxus. I've found that amazingly enough Garnier makes a…

No Pinky is a travesty. I knew them all before my kiddo sucked me into the episodes, which are just fun.

That would be awesome, and I'm surprised she isn't since she's a brony favorite, lolz.

Absolutely right about no Pinky, but there's a recolored Twilight under "Mathematics", though it's not the original which is probably more important. My kiddo will probably ask why Twilight's blue and be disturbed by how he recolored Fluttershy who is her favorite.

My husband is a recovering alcoholic (I don't think stopping drinking is technically recovering). It took me a long time to come to terms with and recognize his alcoholism because he's such a sociable drinker. Happy, fun, gregarious. It would also go in cycles that would last over a year so it was easy to fall into…

I dunno, getting lost in the South Valley can be pretty dicey. I mean at least it wasn't the War Zone.... ;)

Love, love, love this. News hour has always been my go to when I'm in a news watching mood and these two have always been my favorite.
