With how openly hostile the programming/gaming community seems to be toward women, I do not fault anyone for opting to choose a different career path. Though having more women in the field seems to be a necessary component to fix how awful it is, it would be really hard to want to be the ovarian pioneer there.

BE. ATTRACTIVE. B-E ATTRACTIVE.

Good news! You CAN have all of those!

You know, I'm not sure. I know they get somewhere around 75 sealing cancellation requests a week. I know it can be a lengthy process, and for women, they typically don't approve a sealing cancellation unless she has someone lined up to get sealed to. It becomes problematic when they take so long to approve a…

Does privilege really make it so impossible to develop empathy that you cannot IMAGINE how the thing you're doing is awful until you're experiencing something similar?

And DRY. Not canned. Because if you're poor, it's obvious it's because you aren't working, so you have plenty of spare time to make dry beans!

also: name brand may be your only option if you don't want to consume hydrogenated oils or corn syrup. But poor people shouldn't be healthy either, I guess.

She was and had the sealing cancelled. Women can't be sealed to multiple men, but men can be sealed to multiple women. But polygamy totally isn't practiced anymore. (Wink)

Not divorced. But husband and I left the church and do not speak to MIL.

My mother-in-law got engaged after we did. Being a number nerd that I am, I had decided that as 07/07/07 conveniently fell on a Saturday, we would go with that date. My MIL, who knew she was likely to get engaged, but was not yet engaged, pitched an absolute fit that we had taken "her day." Being the pushover I was, I…

It really sucks, doesn't it?

If your career is based on what you look like, it makes sense. Some people pay for an education. Some people buy potions. It seems to be working well for her.

It sounds like she never really had the baby. The two guys handed her the babe in the front yard and left without her. So the babe was likely just handed back to Mom and Dad.

Sending you love and strength and validation. Your courage in your willingness to be vulnerable shows immense strength and insight. I don't have any advice for overcoming the triggers outside of talking to a professional, but I thought of this video in regards to the people judging you and gossiping about you. You…

I think I need to take thirty showers after reading what he said.

False! Roman and Woody don't walk into the bar, because all the patrons are at least 21.

I am so grateful the way *I* was brought up means someone suggesting I'm not the most patriotic person EVAH doesn't hurt my feelings.

He left to go to BYU, which was the school out of state. And I am so delighted to say my kids will NOT be raised with those ideas.

We had been on a date and a half (the half date was he had asked for a ride home from something else, and then asked if we could just go to my place to watch a movie. I was too spineless to say no). He left shortly after to go to school out of state, and called me to tell me he had "received revelation" that we were…
