Some people don't have mothers on mother's day or fathers on father's day. That's sadder actually. Because, even if they are all made up holidays, you have to be reminded of your loss.

Prison is the worst place for a pregnant woman to be in

Please don't drudge this up.
That being said, Kate's dress was a bit boring, but I'm sure if she wore something overly showy, we would be saying how she is "spending so much" or being a show off.
First of all, how can we honestly even call something "timeless"? I'm sure no one in the 80's said "this is very '80's'". It was just a style. To them, it may have been "timeless" but to us it is "dated".

Since none of us have a crystal ball, we cannot tell what the future trends will be, so before we label something as "timeless" we should consider that.
i agree. imovie is better. we had our teenage sitter do one for us. better than i could have done on pp.

inclined to agree. People who use "prayer" to heal themselves as well. If you believe it, more power to you though. Sometimes all it takes is having something to believe in to keep you wanting to fight on.

I just don't believe so strongly in prayer, so when people talk about being healed because of prayers I just kinda cringe.

You are the absolute worst.


Ill be honest. I thought this was about BB as well. But then I realized it was about real life.

However, your little rant was the only spoiler on this thread.


I hope you were kidding because honestly no one should be that upset about a TV show getting spoiled.

Would you let your child wear this to school? How about not to school but just to trick or treat?

Honestly, it is gross and no one likes coming to your disgusting home.

When a 5000 sq ft house in Silver Spring ends smells like cat pee and feces, then something has gone horribly wrong especially if you only have 1 cat.

Where is there a 5000 sf house in silver spring?


Woodside, Woodmor, and North Sligo Hills?

MY DD is 4. I know that the Disney version of Pocahontas is not the "true" story. But honestly, she just wants to dress up as the girl she sees on tv. Why do we have to make it so hard. Political Correctness seems to be running amuck




It's "amok." And we don't have to make it hard. You asked. Some of us agree that the PC police are a pain in the ass. Ignore it and let your kid dress as a historical figure, or whomever she wants. Happy Halloween!


Talk about a pain in the ass.

Probably because Halloween is one night (31st). The Holiday season is named as such because there are alot of holidays in that time period (Thanksgiving, Xmas, Ramadan, Kwanzaa etc). Whereas Halloween is really only about 4 hours of "Celebration" unless you count parties leading up to the actual day of halloween.

Anywho... I think of it this way, I dont want the ghosts and ghouls super creepy decor all over my house and yard for 30 days. Usually the 2 days before halloween we go big with the decorating and such to prep for the trick or treat crowd. But to have our lawn looking like a graveyard from Oct 1... nope!

In what way? Are families with 4+ kids not somehow subject to basic mathematics? If each of those four kids has four of their own, and each of those decides to have four.... That's a lot more kids than if two each had two and so on. To say that the problem of overpopulation is solely that of the developing world is incredibly ignorant. For one thing your average American uses far more resources, on just about every level than does someone in the developing world - even if you live on a totally self-sufficient farm (you dig your own well, septic field, and build your own roads, phone and cable lines? You grow your own flax and spin it into yarn and weave your own cloth?....) , there's zero guarantee that your children will choose the same, low impact lifestyle.

To pretend that the reproductive choices and health care available to women in the US at all relates to those available to women in developing nations is offensive. They're frequently denied the ability to use birth control, when it's even available, and due to a lack of available medical care, they're far more likely to lose children to all sorts of diseases. Your decision large family has every bit as much impact as does large families elsewhere.


But by your logic this isnt a bad thing.


I'm not the PP you are responding to. but the problem is that the only reason it doesn't make a difference when some American woman has 6 kids is because MOST American women DON'T have that many kids. Because, if most American women did have that many kids, our resources would be strained and we'd have to bully other places into giving us theirs. And we wouldn't have the leveling of numbers that disease contributes to. It's not that disease is a "good" thing, but it does follow that it counters the large numbers of children women have in those regions. But usually, when sanitation improves, quality of life improves, availability of medical resources (which simultaneously means reduced fatalities to disease but ALSO increased access to birth control), then women do actually start having fewer children.

It is a bad thing when young children suffer and die in large numbers. The far better thing is to improve the conditions and reduce the birthrate. Access to medical services usually achieves both because it improves conditions but also gives women choices.
