A quick google search confirmed that with IVF genetic screening can be done prior to implantation of the embryos. So they aren’t look at phenotype (what they actually come out as- what you are talking about looking at the parts) they are looking at genotype (what genes they have), so they likely know the embryos are…

That’s a weird correlation, where did you come up with that idea? Why would having an interest in nature mean you have a vegetable-rich diet?

Oh I totally agree, on all counts. However, since that question is asked, you should know the answer. And I think you should know the sexuality of the person who you are with, but this is my opinion on proper behavior. The only non-opinion reason I have for knowing is because of blood donation.

You should know if the man you are with has had male sexual contact. One of the blood donation questions asks if you have had sexual contact with men who have had sex with men. That's about the only reason I see that it matters- is for health questions.

I had strep on my boob that created a huge sore that exploded one day (which is how I found it). Strep made my boob explode!

I was an oops baby- my mom was 17 when I was born, and my dad only 19, so I feel like I should throw my 2 cents in. If your kid was a surprise, be aware not all kids will take it the same way. Unfortunately, their reaction doesn't depend entirely on you, but how other people in her life react to it. My mom was waiting…

Not to say anything re: pregnant women, but there are many workplaces that aren't as friendly to people with chronic illness or disabilities. I have a very resistant manager who is seeming to try to do everything to delay my accommodation request without being openly hostile.

I did this too, and I wasn't abused. It isn't uncommon. I was a sneaky kid who was curious about sex and learned more than the average kid because I tried to, no sexual abuse.

Hey, if they are only going to give you 2 hours to respond to a job offer, fuck 'em. I agree with fridaynotinlove- they would have been horrible to work for, and would not have respected your time or your previous engagements. This is not a bad thing and is not your fault- it is a good thing this job went to someone…

I had to have a hand-assisted laporotic colectomy on my sigmoid colon to remove a 4 inch lipoma. It was way better than I thought it would be. I was in the hospital for only 6 days and that was only because I had a minor post-op infection. I am an anxious person (like I am currently stuck in my house because of…

I mean, I'm want to return as soon as possible. I'm not getting up, I'm visiting outside my bed.

In 7th grade my school did this. Half the year was home-ec and the other half was shop (sort of), and it was co-ed. We cooked, used a sewing maching, iron, and a lot more. In shop we could choose some stuff and some stuff was mandatory. We made a paper rocket, a balsa wood car, and we could choose electronics,…

To add on to what you said: There are people like my partner, who is MTF trans, whose mother would not let him (she was he then) touch the washer/dryer, dishwasher, or oven, for fear he would somehow break it or do it wrong. She even cleaned his room until he was an adult! He wanted to do those things, but she never…

I am a woman and I have a thing for feet.

My dad would freak out if I woke them up, but mom didn't really care. So I would lay at the foot of the bed and look up every so often to see if mom was awake. I found out a few years ago that my dad had seen me occasionally, and actually was terrified- it would just peak up, then disappear.

I don't care if you don't use the right terms. Just don't act like I am a freak, and ask questions if you are interested. It sounds like you are on the right track. But if someone uses the term to describe themselves, use it to describe them.

Many drugstores are on corners. The guys are standing on the streetcorner and catcalling women. I guess their catcalls were the "hey baby i'm so lonely" type?

2 Nieces and my sister in the first picture, and my mom and stepdad got the colors too.

I live in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Suggestions?

Thank you very much!
