Yep. I knocked mom’s blood pressure through the roof a month ahead of time and they induced labor but she just couldn’t dilate enough (a nurse she refers to as “Nurse Ratched” actually yelled at her for not dilating fast enough after several hours, the doctor threw the nurse out) so they had to C-section. Everything…

I think it’s the first major win for the “Our Revolution” crowd so there’s that. I know a lot of people Bernie’s endorsed haven’t gotten far in other races so maybe it’s about that? Idk, just guessing.

In Christmas’ defense, Halloween is getting up there. As a person who has worked at a craft store for several years, they have added about a side-counter a year for it. It has its own bakeware, house lights, fake floral, kids crafts, “cookie” houses, wreathes, and goodness knows how many decorations.

Oof, the first one sounds terrifying. A kid having an injury and you having no clue how it got there has got to be a major parenting nightmare.

They don’t put much of the money raised towards any “cure”, they are against stem cell research, thanks to conservative leadership they are also against abortion rights, and frankly they’re just a moneymaking company that has the gimmick of making everything pink to sell i as if buying pink shit cures cancer. Even frac…

The usual excuse is “feral hogs” which, while very dangerous, don’t need quite that kinda firepower.

Yep. I thought I’d been fine since I’ve had my blood drawn tons of times since I was a kid for testing and shit, but never that much at once.

Urgh, yes. First time I passed out, second time I threw up and they didn’t let me leave for an hour in case I then passed out or threw up the rice krispie they gave me. Which is bad since I’m O Negative so it’s good when I can donate.

He’s been hanging with Mattis and Mattis is desperate to keep the diplomatic arm of foreign relations as functional as possible. Tillerson’s probably leaning on Mattis at times like this.

I’ve been using a backpack for seven years that’s great. It’s surprisingly huge, comfy straps, and yet I can fit my purse under the seat with it.

This is probably the best point I’ve heard so far.

Plus, this is just my opinion, but a lot of times I find livestreams have less chatting since the person is so focused on the gameplay, while an edited Let’s Play released after the fact tends to have more commentary and original flavor.

And that’s for the ones who chat. I like Let’s Players to talk and add things to the game, but like half the BotW Let’s Plays I watched were almost completely silent. At that point you’re just posting gameplay, unaltered, and I think that could get you in trouble, easily.

Reminds me of when JK Rowling called out Trump and fans claimed hey were going to throw out their copies of the Harry Potter books. Her response was to kindly remind them that she already had their money so they could do whatever they wanted to the books.

Well since she’s conservative there’s a chance for Johnson or McMullin in there too.

I grew up upper middle class and it legitimately amazed me how many of my peers were not given chores or taught basic lifeskills. One of the kids in the middle school carpool always had his mom trailing behind him with his shoes and tea, because he couldn’t be bothered to wake up enough to put his shoes on until…

Seriously. They come barging in to make this all about them and then get surprised when that gets a reaction? Plz.

Or parenting literature at the local library. My parents borrowed a ton of books when my Asperger’s became evident around second grade. My mom adapted faster than my dad (partly because I am his girl-clone and we but heads because we’re so similar) but they both had to work on their approaches and figure out what did…

I’ll admit, very confused why grandma didn’t go to the mom’s house in that one. Makes me wonder if more was going on.

We can only hope!
