He’s got about as much as class as a fart at a funeral.

This is so similar to what I went though. I switched doctor surgeries 2 years ago after moving to a different postcode area, and my new GP made me fill out a form (it included a bit about periods - how much i bleed - how bad pain is - if I ever miss work because of it etc) and did a full bloodwork. Based on this I was…

This! And honestly think about all the laws and regulations related to the 6th and 8th amendments!

Not my favorite song of hers, but I can’t be sad when Lori McKenna wins an award.

My favorite is when they claim to be single but keep having babies with the same last name as the daddy. At that point I can get nosey about where he’s at, but I can’t be like, hey, maybe you guys should look into some rubbers?

Seconding the book rec’s, my 11-year-old won’t broach the subject herself, but reading them together has been super-helpful, and is a good way to cover things we might forget about! We’re t-minus for periods, her aunts & I were all 11.

YES! i didn’t know about the second program, i’ll have to check with our leaders about that. and ours seems to mirror yours with inclusiveness. programs like this give me hope!

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I congratulate you for taking care of yourself by cutting her out of your life. A lot of people with “normal” families don't understand how sometimes that is the healthiest thing to do.

Happy to hear you are giving your daughter so much care, many hugs to you :)

Haha yes I know we are in agreement :) It’s so incredibly frustrating that they keep reframing this as a moral and even a constitutional issue when the words “well-regulated” are right up there in the front. Not a single one of their arguments holds up to me, logically speaking, and yet their lobby continues to win.

Oh yes, I am not talking about professionals here. I’ve known and loved and am friends with many police officers, and they are crazy about gun safety, though I know that is not universal and is not at all intended to stand for my opinion on police violence more generally. They are aware that they cannot mess up even…

Unfortunately, i think that’s what happened.

Yes this is standard operating procedure for inmates in protective custody. No inmates in protective custody show up in online searches. The primary reason is the state’s duty of care (read: legal liability).

In this case, the number of victims and the huge publicity make him more of a target than even your average police officer. Don’t forget, it’s not only his safety that is a concern, it’s also everyone around him, such as corrections officers. Plus, not having the information publicly available does not necessarily…

His info still needs to be listed for the victims, just like any other criminal. I would also be interested to know how they decide who gets this hidden treatment.

Yeah, I’d be curious as to whether or not other former police get similar treatment due to them being at a high risk of assault from inmates.

Your wife sounds like a pistol, I love it!

I feel like there’s line in a move, where the “haunted” character moans “The bells, they keep ringing and ringing” but I can’t remember what movie.

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a…

This is what I don’t get. Why do they think he was jailed or assassinated? Because he was a centrist darling of the establishment?
