Truly, the women of VA need to unite and bring a class-action lawsuit against the members of the governing who had ANYTHING to do with these dangerous decisions!

Legitimate question: Are the surrounding states any better?

:) Thank you. *blushes* You'll get there. Maybe start with some assertiveness-training, or a similar-type book or class? Are they available to you? My mom comes off as timid (she prefers the term "meek" and always taught me meekness isn't a bad thing), but in actuality she was always painfully shy. Maybe that's…

Jealous!

Congrats, enjoy, and be safe!!! :)

Upon my return from Hawaii, the airline lost my luggage. Not the little one I could have carried on but had to check because of my back-pack and large purse, but the BIG one, full of souvenirs I'd bought for my parents and kids. After a very crappy flight (which was delayed) and sitting /taxiing on the runway for a…

I also love Pooh. I think he's my favourite young childhood book/movie/memory. There's just something about the characters that I've always loved.

Do it out loud, in the mirror, over and over and OVER again. Make eye contact with as many people in the class as possible. Try to speak slower than you normally would, because nerves make you speed up when speaking. Use note cards if you even remotely think you may need them or have a tendency to ramble or wander…

My dad hailed from Michigan, and he always used to joke to folks "back home" that we had 4 seasons in SoCali, too: fires, floods, mudslides, and earthquakes. (He always missed the seasons he had growing up in Michigan.)

I'm in NoCali now (SoCali native), and it's while it got cooler here for a couple days (it was HEAVEN!), the humidity rose to over 55% and then stuck around when it got hot again a couple days ago.

Fried Green Tomatoes, Sleeping with the Enemy, Something to Talk About, ANYTHING with Clive Owen or Gerard Butler; peanut butter celery (crunchy, salty, and sweet, and sort of healthy!); Horrible Bosses or Bad Teacher (to make you laugh); and I wish you rapid healing and all the best.

Unless you are at the beach or pool, there is NO excuse for sitting down to a table for a meal with other people in a bathing suit. PERIOD.

I consider you lucky. My body went "BAM!" when I was only 12, and my mother used to hiss at the young Marines (I grew up on a military base) "She's JAILBAIT!!"

There's a difference between "sexy" and "trashy." She's obviously not yet learned it, or she has a severely skewed idea of "sexy."

Probably. And that's a sad shame.

I so agree with you about the sacrificing principles of fairness and equality AND stopping actual terrorists. Unfortunately, something's got to give.

It really, REALLY is. I challenge any male in office to offer up any circumstance under which he has to endure such an invasive procedure just to make a health-care decision. Particularly one that's elective. (I have never heard of ass-rape with a foreign object being a requirement for an elective procedure on a…

Hate to break it to my fellow sisters, but this was done to me at a PP in the fall of 2008 (albeit not with a curling iron) to see if I was eligible for a "prescription abortion." I wasn't asked if it was okay; no one explained to me the necessity; and I really didn't appreciate the procedure.

Speaking from experience, it's HARD to get away from an abuser. But when you do, you STAY AWAY FROM HIM!

So basically, men are pro-choice when it suits them and their lifestyles, is that correct? Because that's what it sounds like.
