I'm not on birth control (hubby had a vasectomy) but I went on BCP for a few months when he came home from Afghanistan because I was due the day after he got home from being gone for 9 months. :grumble: It worked out just fine and I had no side effects whatsoever.

No one here knows what Romney represents either. :laugh:

I'm taking 3/4 of a cardboard box, painting it black, and going as a binder full of woman.

My boys are both in Scouts. My oldest is up for Eagle. He turned 15 in June. My youngest is almost 12 1/2. He'll be First Class (next comesStar then Life, then Eagle) in the next month or so. The youngest isn't interested in girls at all yet. He's also not interested in boys. He just hasn't matured in that area yet. The…

No one said that. Other countries have politicians who say stupid things. Ours just tend to move from stupid to f*ing insane.

I would help if the OP would actually come back and say how old her son is. If he's 15 then odds are the girls are just too immature to know that the nice guys are the good guys. They want the hot bad boys. If he's 25 then maybe he's looking at the wrong kind of girls and instead of giving the nice girls a shot he's still…

I was raised in a very Catholic household. My mom is a Christian Republican and my dad thinks Fox "News" is factual but is an atheist. Mom and dad are both Republican. Hubby never really went to church growing up. His parents are union Democrats and have nothing to do with religion. Ironically, I'm more liberal than hubby…

It's rareybeyond fixing unless one party doesn't want to work at it. However, it may not be worth fixing if the bad considerably outweighs the good. I've been with my husband for 22 years and based on your post you've argued more in the past 2 weeks than we have in the past 2 decades. You have to decide if it's worth…

The only one who ever looked like the girl in the top photo is the girl in the top photo. Everyone else looks stupid.

I agree completely. Frankly though, I find your comment that people are always looking for something better much more disheartening than your fears about divorce statistics. I've been married for 19 years. No divorces for either of us. My parents just celebrated 46 years, his parents are at nearly 51. His brothers are at…

There area lot of perfectly normal reasons why you can gain a pound - waste build up, water, salt, time of day, time of month, etc. I'm doing a program at a clinic and they have an uber fancy $2400 scale that shows all sorts of stuff. At my weekly appointment yesterday I had gained 3 lbs this past week. Normally that would…

I used my sister's dress. She bought it new but had taken a part time job at the boutique so she got it half off. I then paid her half of that price when I wore it. She ended up getting divorce and remarried. When she remarried it was his first marriage and they wanted a traditional ceremony with a traditional wedding…

We were in Ramstein for 1 1/2 years. MFP not only works there but a lot of the local foods are already in the data base. Anything that isn't you can always just add.

You're mom's a b*tch. Next time she gives you that attitude say "Hey, I'm not fat. I'm also not a crappy mom who wants to make people feel worthless and I don't have an undeserved superiority complex either. I guess I'm not like you at all." Then walk away or hang up. Don't let her do that to you.

I do run my company so I'd get rid of me, give myself a nice severance package then sit back and collect unemployment for a while until I decided to hire myself back again. :laugh:

Make sure you also tell her that Ryan voted against the recent jobs bills that would have taken away tax breaks for companies that send jobs overseas AND the one that would have given a tax credit to companies that brought jobs back to the states. Most of the GOP voted that way on both those bills. They ran on "Jobs" but…

Actually, quite a few pople, not just the 18-26yos, voted McCain last time and are pro Obama this time. I'm one of them and I have a kid closer to that 18-26 demographic than I am myself :laugh: I voted McCain because I knew and liked him as a Senator back when Republicans were Republicans and not the fundie…

There are also plenty of people who voted McCain last time who have watched the GOP intentionally sabbotage every chance at recovery simply to hurt Obama's chances of reelection who are so disgusted that they are not only voting Obama but they may just well pull the straight Dem ticket. There are people between the ages of…

Petty and puerile. If I throw out a chair I no longer give a damn whose butt sits in it.

Don't sweat it. It doesn't mean anything except that you are perfectly normal. It doesn't mean you are bored or want excitement or don't REALLY lover your BF. I've been married for nearly as long as you've been alive and we've been together for 22 years. I had a crush on one of his friends when we were dating. Nothing ever…

Cheating is doing something sexual or intimate with someone else that you wouldn't want your spouse to find out about.

2 weeks isn't love. It's lust. Love is when you know the person. Love is about what they are on the inside, not what they look like on the outside. Love is about how they make you feel in your heart and your mind, not just your genitals. I've been married for 19 years. We said it at around the 2 month point.

Obama has tried to get tax breaks removed from companies that ship jobs overseas and in another bill tried to give tax breaks to companies that brought jobs back to the states. The Republicans voted them down. You cannot blame the President for Congress's sabbotage. You CAN however, vote out the Congressmen/Senators who…

Don't quit until you have something else lined up.

Body odor. You can have bad breath and still be clean and hygenic.

^^^ Yea, that! Oh, and to the person who keeps harping on the "high" afterwards from going unmedicated - that has nothing at all to do with medication/epidurals/etc and can be experienced by anyone whether they go drug free or are knocked out cold. It's hormonal. It has everything to do with your body's hormones…

1. Fear doesn't cause pain. Nerve endings cause pain. No one is less afraid when the get an epi. It doesn't block fear or anxiety or apprehension or any other emotion. It blocks pain receptors in nerve endings. 2. Unless it comes out your nose, it's a natural childbirth. 3. Goodie for everyone who gave birth without drugs…

Prime example of how different people with different bodies and different body types can all look great but weigh very different amounts. I'm 5'5" If I weighted 126 I'd look anorexic. My goal is 149. I'd LOVE to hit 139 but for now 149 will do. I wouldn't want to go lower than that. I weighed 129 when I got married. I wore…

I fully realize it takes years and maybe a lifetime to get used to prosthetics having several friends and aquaintances who have them thanks to being deployed to Iraq. Do you realize that your assertion that he has a great advantage is in direct contrast to saying that it takes years and maybe a lifetime to simply even get…
