I can attest to that. My son is nicknamed Cade (Caden), and he is all kinds of trouble.
I had a coworker who conceived triplets naturally... while on birth control. The kicker: she and her husband had decided to never have children.
In 2003 I let my best friend shave my (shoulder length) hair down to my scalp in the bathroom. My mother was horrified. I loved it. I had 99 problems but hair wasn't one! At least that year.
One time, I bought 3 items (Aveeno lotion, I think) for a $5 gift card, but with my coupons on those items, I actually came out $3 ahead. Score: me: 1 Target: infinity - 1
I have a 3 year old boy. All I want to do is raise him to be a good man. His father is not a good man. (Was very abusive to me, and a total misogynist and general asshole.) Some days, I'm truly afraid he's going to turn out like his dad. At least he only sees him on the weekends, but I'm worried that might be…
My favorite is when people will call Hispanic people all sorts of names around me, thinking that just because I appear white, I must be. You should see their faces when I'm like "so, I'm a sp***, huh?" It's priceless watching the look of horror come over their face while they frantically try to backpedal. Asshats.
Even if she had bought coverage in the US, it would still be a pre-existing condition and therefore not covered, right? Or did the Affordable Care Act change that? There was one couple who was denied coverage after a premature birth in the US, despite having purchased insurance as a cautionary measure, because the…
Yes! Deceit and fear big time! Glad someone else noticed that.
As a child, I remember my uber Christian mother telling me about how gay men and women should enter into heterosexual marriages because its the "right thing to do". Even as a young person, immersed in conservative beliefs, I knew there was SOMETHING fundamentally wrong with this idea.
So lets say you do report your rape, which was perpetrated by a student at your school. DA says they decline to pursue the case, for whatever reason. Then you would turn to the university, right? Because some justice is better than no justice. Or maybe you're just hoping that you won't end up sitting next to this…
My supervisor employs that look regularly. It usually sends me on a beeline out of the room, suddenly becoming very busy. He is the master of the male chin down, symmetrical brow raise, over the reading glasses side eye. Terrifying!
100% yes! I would feel so much safer taking a cab if I was guaranteed a female driver.
The most troubling thing about this situation is how a young woman with Asperger's is treated so dismissively and horrendously by the medical system. A psychiatric hold and commitment is typically reserved for people who are a danger to themselves or others, and based on the information provided here, she is neither.…
Thank you thank you thank you!
Please update with a band/artist name if you are able!
So... because you can't imagine it, it couldn't have happened? I had a coworker with HG, and she NEEDED the money, so she continued to work, and vomited right and left every day for the first 3-4 months of her pregnancy. It was hard to watch, mainly because I'm sure she would have much rather have been at home,…
The same thing happened to me. I would go for a run, take a shower, and have horrible, excruciating pain. I finally went in and took the only doctor available, since I wanted to be seen while my symptoms were still present. I was diagnosed with herpes within 5 minutes, without even testing me for it. I knew it…
The SAME THING happened to me! I would go for a run, take a shower, and then have HORRIBLE, EXCRUCIATING pain. Finally, I went in to see a doctor. I just saw whoever was available at that moment, because the pain was so awful and I wanted to go when my symptoms were present. The doctor immediately diagnosed me…
This totally explains the headaches I get from seafood! Everyone always looks at me like I'm crazy when I refuse seafood or fish due to the splitting headaches it gives me. I wonder if they do the same thing to salmon, because that makes me sick beyond belief.
