My situation is rare (of course!!) - usually the endometriosis is taken care of (e.g. fully removed or treated otherwise in some way) by the time menopause hits but the doctors couldn’t remove all of mine because it’s wrapped around my colon and other organs. So, I’m the unusual case that even without ovaries or a…

Actually you still produce estrogen without both ovaries - I am a case in point. I have severe endometriosis and some of the disease (rather than getting into the particulars) has wrapped itself around my organs so even though I have been through menopause (so no longer get my period) and had both my ovaries removed…

I’ve had BC twice and both times had to take time off of work to deal with surgery and radiation. I was physically and mentally exhausted. My hat is off to him for pushing through and living life to the fullest.

Came here to say the same thing - just denigrates the process and Harris as well. What a great way to celebrate women - jeez.

Not sure how ridiculous this but I know I still think of it any time someone mentions reunions. Was at my 10th year high school reunion and the husband (former NFL player that the wife was so proud to have snagged) of the head cheerleader and one of the most popular girls in school said to me “If I were ever going to…

Actually I think plenty of NYers would do just what she did. It’s unfortunate that so much of NYC’s homeless population has mental health issues. Sometimes, it’s very scary to encounter people like this. I had dinner last night outside and a belligerent homeless guy walked right through the middle of the outside…

When I was a teen and I thought every phone call was for me (this was before cell phones), the phone rang and I ran into my parent’s room in the dark (because I knew my way around the house in the dark) to answer and ran smack into the engine of their air conditioner which was on the floor to be fixed. Cut my leg up…

No kidding!  I had severe migraines during a short period living in the UK.  ER visits, doctor visits - not a cent!!  And I went to the ER at least 4 times and several more times to the doctor.  Just crazy what that would cost here!

Again, fuck you - you’re so off course but I won’t even bother the debate anymore because you are not a smart, logical thinking person.  Go away, leave me (and this site actually) alone.

Just stop - what data do you have that kids fare better in a 2 parent household? I know I would have been better off if my mother left my mother years before he abused all of us and left lasting scars. And who the hell do you think you are to tell the author what she should do with her life? Should I not have adopted…

What about Normal People?  It’s amazing!

fuck you - crawl back in your hole.  I’m raising my daughter as a single parent and she’s doing just fine, thank you.  I assume you’re a troll but this just pisses me off and I couldn’t sit silently and read this.  Go away.

Thanks so much for writing this - I think you have and will touch a lot of women. I was right where you are but at the age of 45. Had suffered from depression on and off throughout my adult life but didn’t really get it under control until my 40s. I have dated on and off for years but, after being abused by my father…

Please tell me how to give young women - say in Guatemala - the tools they need to raise their kids themselves when they suffer from such extreme poverty that some days they cannot eat? I think it’s a great idea to give women/families the tools to raise their own children but who’s going to do that? So, if I’m really…

You have to include this - makes it even better (scroll down for second video of them):

I waited so long to meet my daughter (adopted at 8 months) that I had no problem at all picking a name before I even met her. Of course, I call her by that name and kept her birth name as her middle name but legally her birth name is still her first name and she signs all her school paperwork with both names and our…

Thank goodness - their jingle was so annoying and their commercials were on air all the time!!

I think her explanation of why she’s shutting the group is understandable - why just a black admin - why not an Asian, a Latina, etc. She’s not being racist by shutting it down - she’s understanding the position she’s in that she will never make all the members happy because inevitably someone will say she’s left out…

What does not mentioning a black father have to do with any of this?

Yup - my daughter has had a number of issues that I would never have known about when I brought her home as an infant. She’s had speech and occupational therapy for years (now 14) and is in a specialized school for kids with learning disabilities that is amazing. We had very rough times over the years - she has a…
