Have you seen the new commercial about the future of the Metro ? I was only listening with half an ear last night and it made me snort at least 3 times.

I’m 16 weeks and yesterday I googled, “what herbal tea can I have when pregnant”. That was a mistake, apparently everything except chamomile causes preterm labor. The internet is not a pregnant woman’s friend.

Now I don’t feel bad for thinking the exact same thing.

Some Dr’s are dicks about making anything that goes wrong about your weight. These things can happen to anyone and could have happened to you regardless of your weight.

It’s not new, It’s just a thing people do. I think a lot of them don’t see it as naming the kid after themselves but maintaining a tradition. It can be hard to break a family tradition that goes back over several generations

There was a case in my hometown where an obstetrical nurse died ,in the hospital she worked at, after giving birth because the Dr didn’t believe her that something was wrong after the birth. Then it was a whole nother thing since the Dr/hospital supposedly altered the records. But it doesn’t say much that he wasn’t…

I am always fascinated by the cult like devotion people develop for these MLM companies. Even after one or several screw them over they are willing to fully devote themselves to the next one. They really are convinced they are all running their own small business and just not a poorly compensated 1099 employee.

This is 100% true. Except when it’s the head pastor. I don’t think I ever had a youth pastor that wasn’t creepy on some level.

Where I grew up in NJ where there are not a lot of HOA’s every town is incorporated so it’s relatively easy to pass those laws. Where I live now in VA almost all the area in each county is unincorporated and governed at the county level. It makes it much harder for to pass laws about something like keeping chicken…

I don’t know the specifics of this situation but I have a friend with a sister similar to Morgan. With them the main sticking point is my friends wedding, her fiance and his family financed most of it but her sister always complains about how her parents gave her this super nice wedding. They all know who payed for it…

I know there is one in Herndon VA if that helps you. I think there may still be a couple others in the area but they all seem to be attached to hotels.

I know at least one of them was named Christine because it means follower of Christ and she was born a few days before Christmas. I think that’s how people do it with out being it being super Christmasy. I know one Holly Noel and one Noel who birthday’s are one day apart and neither is particularly happy with the…

I have a friend named Holly Noel who was born in December. I have a ton of friends with December birthdays whose names are all some variations of Christine/Christian.

I’m 37 and have always been told 20%. I couldn’t do it right away but have been hitting it after a few years of working post college.

Really ? Everyone I’ve had puts the money in each paycheck. They do add our “core contribution” in March but that’s profit sharing and has nothing to do with how much you contribute.

I think there are a bunch of embryos in limbo because they were created before people put a lot of thought into the long term repercussions. My clinic has the 51 cut off too but I don’t know when they implemented it. If the mom was young when the embryos were created she may be skating just under the cut off. Also…

They could do IVF with genetic testing if they really wanted to but that would be much more expensive than embryo donation.

Do you want I coach ? They do speak their own language but there are plenty of people like me who were raised in their BS but totally reject it now. You just need a little pocket translator for normal to jesus talk.

A coworker said something similar to me after I got pregnant via IVF. No, it was not god it was fancy fancy science and my doctor.

I’m pregnant and I keep worrying that my husband passed his giant head and shoulders down to our baby. I had to stop mentioning his head to the Dr because it was giving him a complex.
