Thank you for sharing this, and bless her for writing it. She unveils yet another way that women are victimized and I’m glad she set the record straight. 

Plus, he can roll in some poor, unemployed older coal miners who have no new job skills to transfer, and get great photo ops.

The level of humiliation they are willing to endure, putting aside actually service to our country and concern for its future, tells me its shorthairs. They’re scared for themselves.

Not the right response, sweetie. My husband is balding and he’s fucking hot box of rocks, so lay off your judgment. 

Just stop.

That’s not what she meant. #phrasing

I respect your perspective, but I feel that many people here are misunderstanding “in labor.” I was in labor for technically two days before I was admitted to the hospital for my first, but it wasn’t really labor, just mild, sometimes unnoticeable contractions. When people talk about active labor, which it doesn’t…

Nothing of what you say is right. Having a c-section in her case was major surgery and traumatic in recovery. Most women want to deliver naturally, because our bodies are built to do so, most of the time. It’s absolutely her right to request it, without qualification to anyone. Since there appears to be no imminent…

34 hours is generally the time when they first report having contractions, not actual pushing labor. I was in “labor” for 1.5 days before actually being in labor for my firstq. Because she has had two c-sections before, they would admit her early even when almost nothing is really happening because of bigger risk.

They did put strawberries in an otherwise just spinach leaves salad, so there’s that.

It’s as transparent as the skin on my face that this boy is suffering from a deep inferiority complexion that is angry, festering, and deep. Of course he’s focusing on color: his is unclear.

Even half is being generous for me; I would have to count pretending to care.

I know people who stockpile guns because they are sure the government or “others” are trying to deny them their liberties. They want to be ready. They’ve been doing this for over 30 years. I feel like all this build-up means they’re just dying for reason to use them.

Do you have a source for this? Not questioning its truth, just want to read more.

Ken Burns’s Vietnam. you can stream it for free on pbs.com. I am also watching right now, and the similarities to then and now are disturbing.

Wow.

Every episode is worth watching over and over, studying even. Take notes.

I completely agree. Frightening, and I feel very naive and stupid not realizing that these feeling ran this deep. Fuck.

That’s exactly it.
