Yes! I totally agree. I'm from a small Midwestern town originally. I've been really fortunate, but I know a few people who haven't been. Now they are pretty much stuck in a small town with no jobs. How do you get out of that situation?

1. She may have had sex in the past.

Many people who have jobs are in need of social assistance. Some jobs have low wages. Some people with job where the wages are ok have other circumstances (medical bills, spouse without a job, etc.) In fact, a good example of someone with a job who still qualifies for (and needs) assistance is the woman in the…

Convince my job to move also? Or quit my job and try to find a new one? That seems pretty irresponsible for someone having money problems...

Considering she had passed out, no, she didn't. When she woke up, she had no idea to assume someone raped her until she saw pictures.

That makes sense, especially with 2 cats. I guess when I read "a while" in the article, I was thinking more in terms of hours, which seemed excessive, but maybe they were just doing a timeout.

It could just be the fact that I'm hoping that cats aren't all out to kill us and take over the world, but I think there might be more to this story. Is locking your cat in the bathroom for bad behavior standard? I don't have a cat, but I do have a dog and this seems strange.

What if there is no bus system to get her from her house to her work? There isn't for me.

OK, let's be frank, I would marry my dog.

Ugh, gross, forget it. That is clearly messed up.

Logistical question- suppose two people are already married. Can they simply add the dog to the marriage or do they have to divorce and all 3 get married at the same time? Asking for a friend.

Ahh, I see. I might be a little touchy because mine was $750, and the ugly $700 one you mentioned in the original might have hit a little too close to home.

There are definitely dresses for under $700.

Birth control, that is before the conception, is not murder, it is an irresponsible practice by those who don't want any kind of accountability for their actions and behaviors.

I've never really been comfortable with how expensive mine was. I suggested cheaper alternatives, but my husband's family was pretty well off growing up, and he didn't feel right spending less.

I would really rather not have the memory of walking in on them that time in the kitchen. On the other, it gives me hope.

That's what my best friend's wedding ring is. She and her husband got engaged when they were pretty young (19 and 20 maybe?) and didn't want to blow a bunch of money. She loves still loves it, even though they could afford something way more expensive now.

That thought gives me some peace of mind. Of course, people can spend their money on whatever they want, but that just boggles my mind.

I've heard the 3 months salary thing, but I guess I never really thought very many people stuck to that and how much that would actually be.

I got married 3 years ago, in answer to your question...yes, I do think my husband and I will be together/in love forever. Certainly there will be some hard times (we are going through a really rough financial/depression situation right now) but ultimately, it's a commitment that we are willing to work through those…
