The one in the middle’s dress is ripped! Poor dear couldn’t afford a new dress :(

Biological men have XY chromosomes. Biological women have XX chromosomes.

But hasn’t this guy been problematic for years? I mean, if this comment came out of the blue, sure, I could see there being issues (though I wonder if CC has Disney-like terms in their contracts of “if you make us look bad you’re fired”), but from the last article it sounds like this is what he does and has always…

Mom? Or “uncle”?

Yes, to confirm, the girl in the story is 18 months, and therefore not a “baby” so much as a “toddler”. Did not breastfeed the little squirrel that long, but if he wanted a snack in a store at 18 months, he was waiting til we got to a better place for said snack. There’s a HUGE difference between feeding a baby (omg…

Exactly this. Which is why I go with the hospital based OB practice. At the time it was 4 docs, now it’s more, and I liked them all. Odds were extremely high one of them would deliver me, it would have had to have been an exceptional circumstance to get someone else.

I read there was a point where the mom was trying to move and the nurse physically moved her back to her back.

Mr Squirrel got a full list of “the following things should *not* happen, and if you see them happening you need to *start yelling*” (at the time, didn’t know “do not let the nurse attempt to push the baby back up there” needed to be said...). My OB team was fabulous - loved every single one, and it was a large,…

This was my thought too - bet a doc had threatened the nurses in the past that they can't deliver the babies.

Right in the feels!!

Exactly! With 5000 people all on a boat, every single person is going to have a different experience, and a different reaction to their experience. For instance, my mom got suuuuuper sick on our last trip, but she was first in line to sign on for another cruise. Someone else might have gotten mildly seasick and…

Yes, but you can get noro from literally anywhere. My point is that you can’t say “oh I don’t want to go on a cruise because there’s the slightest chance I’ll get norovirus”, because if you say that, you can’t go to an all-inclusive, you can’t really even go to a restaurant, because hey, guess where most cases come…

Thank you!! A couple years ago, we were all atizzy planning a cruise on the Wonder. There was a Norovirus outbreak on a Carnival ship, and someone felt the need to comment on a FB post about how dangerous that was, and what if we got sick?

At least she got $1. My last company had one of those all too common “if you have a single thought about an idea while employed by us WE OWN IT” contracts.

You know where the absolute best place to get drugs is? Private high schools. The more rich white kids in topsiders and Vineyard Vines, the more drugs. And the cops don’t bother them, because they are The Leaders of Tomorrow.

Especially because this was DALLAS. The Dallas PD underwent severe reforms over the past few years in crisis de-escalation and foot chase rules, etc. that had results. For example, in 2009, they had ~150 excessive use of force complaints. In 2015 there were 14. Not a typo. When an officer beat and maced a suspect in…

This is my thing. We don’t really see anyone’s spouses on TOS. If Uhura had a husband at home, we didn’t hear about him - and if she had a wife, we also didn’t hear about her. Because in this universe, gay relationships are just the same as straight relationships, and therefore, who cares? They’re out there doing a…

This. ESPECIALLY in the utopic Star Trek future, why does everyone have to be at the ends of the Kinsey scale? Maybe Sulu is mostly gay, but that one hot chick he experimented with in college had a kid. Or maybe he WANTED a kid, and she was like, I’m game! Non-traditional families people!

Can I note here, because my husband gives up meat on Fridays and this bugs the sh*t out of me:

I’m not sure if this is the case with your grandmother, but NFP doesn’t work in the context of the Church’s insistence that you never refuse your husband. If he doesn’t cooperate (or, who knows, maybe the wife’s the horndog...), there’s no way to avoid the long times when you’re fertile. 5 days before your fertile…
