I always appreciate when women share their abortion stories. Each story helps towards removing the stigma.

Red Bag Of Discourage

I would bet that they went about this the wrong way. I played a college sport where we routinely traveled with 36 or more players, plus coaches, equipment managers, etc, with everyone bringing at least 2 bags that matched identically to everyone else’s. We would all just wait by baggage claim, and as each bag came…

omg, that’s awful. But this is also why you tie a big, colorful ribbon on your bag and look for that instead of the general shape/color of the bag.

Hasn't stopped some folks I've worked with...

Is it bad that I was expecting his reasoning to be that it meant no one in the office could hit on her? And that I’m only marginally relieved (but a great deal more offended) that it was “hur dur, the other women will be jealous and wrathful”?

“Mikey did you get the cole slaw ? I love the cole slaw”

Yeah, but Mike Pence always looks like that. He’s got a face like a puckered anus (not a nice, relaxed one).

So, now that Gawker is gone is this where I go to tell people that they’re wrong?

AS a Hoosier, I am disgusted by my governor supporting Kentucky in any form or manner.

I miss Gawker already. Thanks, Ashley.

I recently read that it’s more common in the U.S. because of how easy it is to doctor-shop with our broken insurance system. Don’t know how true it is but it’s a thinker.

I agree that she should have a reduced sentence, but in this case she convinced her boyfriend to stab her mother to death. Conspiracy to commit murder is harder to explain as self-defense. I just wish she’d had told her father or her doctors or someone just by getting up out of her wheelchair and walking. But I…

I would second that sentiment, I have an aunt who was evaluated and diagnosed as Munchausen By Proxy. She has THREE kids, and one was almost done with high school by the time she was diagnosed. It’s likely she was standard Munchausen if she would have been diagnosed before kids, and transferred that attention seeking…

I don’t think so. I would argue that - like many other illnesses - we just hear more about it for several reasons:

This actually sounds like self-defense. I realize it doesn’t fit the legal definition, but given the torture this woman endured at her mother’s hands, is it really so difficult to understand how someone in her position could snap?

My grandmother made an angel food cake with a drizzled sugar frosting that made you positive you’d died and gone to heaven. She also made corn in cream — not anything that even closely resembles that canned cream styled corn shit — that was wonderful enough to eat as a desert.

I can only speak from my experience, but my grandmother tried to teach us as children that “colored people” was the preferred term in the 90s, and I think she, as a working class woman with no education from rural Appalachia who always disagreed with segregation and believed in equality, thought she was doing right.…

becky isnt going to do anything she is dead from marijuana

Oh, yeah, it can be all about the generational terms, which are probably just tough to impossible to let go of by the time you hit your elderly years. I’m willing to bet there will be a whole slew of new terms that my generation (Gen X) won’t be able to keep up with when we’re 85. It likely won’t be cool to say…
