thank you for well wishes

Thank you. It really is amazing that she is alive at all

Thank you. They are nicknaming her Mango as she is the size of a mango. So tiny

I will admit it has been a tough week. My brother’s girlfriend delivered their baby on Monday at 24 weeks. A baby girl she weighed only 635 grams and 30cm long. She was born breathing but is now resperated and they found out that she had a stage 3 bleed in her brain. There is another scan to be done on Tuesday to see…

yep, that was my reasoning too

Age of consent varies from 16-18 across the US. Until 2008 the age of consent in Canada was 14, it’s now 16

Finally!!!! though to be honest I thought there would more cats but this is surprisingly listenable

Let’s hope this gets out of the greys

Same sex marriage is not recognized in Australia but common law partnerships carry nearly as much legal weight. An Australian citizen can sponsor their partner to become a resident and that partner can be of the same sex

I love this book, but it could be a little tighter in editing and I did start to lose concentration near the end

Gravity’s pull no longer worked

I saw Grace Jones perform at a NYE party in ‘99 and god she was great and fierce and terrifying until she fell off the stage. According to friend who was one of the backup dancers, she’d been snorting up line after line of coke before the show. She climbed back up and kept on going like nothing happened, while wearing…

I know right?! One of the getting to know you things that couples do is talk about their previous relationships, what worked, what didn’t, the history you had before you met your partner. Also I’m still friends with some of the people I dated as is my husband, do you not keep in contact with people at all because at…

From my understanding that if the govt deports you via plane, they will charge you for that flight. I’m not sure how they expect to get that money back, but it’s not a free flight back home. I’m an immigrant as well, but live in Canada not the US

To be honest I could give a crap whether a dishwasher saves water or electricity (and I say this as a person who worked in the environmental movement for years) Having a dishwasher saves marriages, particularly if you have kids. Nothing is more aggravating than the power struggle of who does the dishes and how…

Yes but the rest of the world is not just Canada and I say this as a Canadian. The list of countries with elected female Prime Ministers or Presidents is quite long

I like this project but one of the things I see a lot with abortion stories is that there often is the narrative of abusive boyfriend or mental illness or rape or genetic issues, which are of course perfectly legitimate reasons to have an abortion. One narrative you don’t see so often but I imagine it’s pretty common…

There’s a lot of things that I’m not proud of doing as a teen but I always did stand up for my gay friends who were bullied at school. Of course this led to rumours being spread that I was gay (I’m not) It is hard to stand up all the time for those that are being oppressed, and I give the kids a bit of leyway when it…

I've re-read World War Z numerous times but after the first time through I just open it wherever and read the individual stories out of order. The characters are now burned into my memory as part of that world rather than just in the narrative

I had been feeling like I might be pregnant for a few days but I hadn’t missed my period yet so on the day that is was one day late I got up really early and took a pregnancy test. Waited in the bathroom for that agonising 10 minutes. Positive. Go wake up Mr. Witch with a “I’m pregnant” His reaction “oh shit” big…
