I’m in the same boat. We make a comfortable living. Our two oldest sons graduated. And yet, I’m not anticipating anything but a money crunch. Mainly bc the tuition is paid. Plus I have anxiety over us entering our 50s and things getting tight Maybe I’m paranoia but there hasn’t been news that is comforting.

I’d like to see evangelicals no longer involved in any adoptions. I’m a white birth mother here in the US. The amount of shame and manipulation that I went through as a pregnant 17 year old by my evangelical family in order to give my child to a preacher of their choosing and not my own is disgusting. They truly have…

I’ll never understand exactly how they make calls like this. Mine was giving me problems but wasn’t serious enough to schedule surgery until I ended up having emergency surgery to remove a ruptured, infected gallbladder with a massive stone. It almost killed me. My doctor just hadn’t taken me seriously about how sick…

Indeed. So busy condemning what they see as amorality in other people while giving themselves a pass for the same behavior. I believe this was addressed in the Sermon on the Mount “why do you notice the speck in your brothers eye, but don’t see the wiener in your own” or something like that.

I’m sorry that happened to you. One of the difficult aspects of this reckoning has been the painful memories that have been stirred up in so many people. There are so damn many of us and I know it’s caught me off guard several times. Take care. You’re not alone. 

This is some really well articulated righteous anger. All that comes out of my mouth is a scream right now!

That is heartbreaking. Domestic violence cuts across all political, social and economic strata. It is utterly devastating to every victim involved. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

It’s definitely for bipolar people which is why I was on it. My doc had me in a crazy off label level of it. It made everything worse. The seizure I had wasn’t from a fall or anything during the seizure. I was on my bed and never fell. It was caused by the muscles violently tensing. It snapped my arm right below my…

This makes complete sense!

Every single woman who worked at legal aid with my husband carried one as a purse. As a purse. Every day. I went to one of their horrible sales parties once and was not remotely inclined to make even a modest guilt driven purchase. Contrary to what they believed that basket did not go with everything.

I’m not usually prone to violent tendencies but I want to snatch that nubbin tongue right out of his mouth hole.

Oh my god yes! Except they’re totally broke ass scumbags who make no bones about needing her to support them. They’re gross.

I had the same thing happen to me with serequel(?). The seizure was so powerful it broke my arm. The next days are lost to me but it was a horrible experience. Psychiatric meds can be brutal.

I have yet to read an article about her parents that didn’t make them seem shockingly horrible.

Oohhhh that’s good!

Aye yup. I’m blind now after that eye roll.

Cornholio!

Oh for fucks sake! He sounds like cartman.

Blech. At least smoke wasn’t coming out of his nose when he snatched her up and put his face in hers. Blech

This is the silliest, greatest thing I’ve seen all day! I’m beavis laughing now!
