If like me the kid will be flushed within 30 seconds of 85+ degree heat. I’d reapply 50-100 SPF to his/her face at least every hour and don’t forget ears or back of neck (especially if a girl with long hair who has it up in the rare ponytail). They make small roll-on stuff for faces now so you don’t have to get your…

Feel you. Irish and a “throw back” so even my family isn’t as pale. My mother refers to the color of my legs as “underbelly of a flounder.” I use the lightest fake tan possible just to take away the florescent glow.

Its and ours.

Could we please delete this? Funny as it is I’m afraid that it could give some random teabag ideas.

Glue and popsicle sticks are all you need. Just make sure to include “faux reclaimed barn-wood finish” in the product description.”

Seems more like boy problem. A boy with tiny, limp dick.

No ones going to run tests. Get a pad from a friend and the next time you have steak or hamburger just mop up the Styrofoam package.

Apparently poozoozoo’s mom didn’t have such a fussy body.

I once got slammed for saying this same thing. I started using tampons at 11 or 12 (I lived in FL and was NOT missing out on 5 days of swimming each month). My mom always flushed tampons (not pads) and, due to her training, I’ve always done the same and I’m in my 40s. Neither of us have ever had plumbing problems.…

It is not with the mother, it is with the kids. They are locked up, not the mother. I do think that a young age, when children may not be rational, visitation can be compelled if a judge thinks that it is just a childish tempter tantrum. However at 15 a minor’s wishes should be given serious consideration. Plus all 3…

Glad I could help.

Maybe she thinks that he’s a clown?

A bit mild for them but pretty accurate.

Kill weeds? Oh, wait - have any family you don’t like coming by for the holiday? A glass of that and some fruitcake should ensure that they don’t linger.

None use 21. Some have passed unconstitutional 20 week limes, but more use use 24 or simple “viability.” At the time of Roe v. Wade viability was generally considered around 28 weeks but it has come down to around the 24 weeks mark due to medical advances.

For the majority of states 24 weeks is the cut off. This is the time that it is expected that 1. the fetus would feel pain and 2. the fetus has a good (perhaps 80% - any medical people here) chance to survive. After that abortion is usually only permitted in cases where severe fetal abnormalities are discovered or to…

See earlier post re TN law. It would not have been required in all states.

It wasn’t obtained from the hospital, it was (likely) obtained from police reports.

No, the two are not considered the same, either medically and, in many? most? states not legally. Often the parents of a very early born child and/or a child with sever disabilities are given the choice if they want to make every possible effort or if they want to issue a DNR (do not resuscitate) much the way elderly…

Somehow that change was not much publicized. I’m a professor, and only learned of this fierce hate of the two spaces a few years ago, and only because I read it in a Jezabel/Huffpost/etc. type article. I am working hard to “reform,” but since I touch type there are times my fingers don’t bother to check in with my…
