How is that possible? Try trying to picture how one might go about this. Not that I will partake, I just wouldn't know how to do this.


There are 365 days in a year. 300 in 5 years is totally possible.


I know it is possible. Just wondering about the logistics? Do you keep picking up people in bars? How does it work?


Frat and sorority parties. Every concert I met someone from the band. Bars, dorms, apartments. Swinger parties and clubs. I enjoy sex and was not shy about it then.

How I never got pregnant or an std is a miracle.

I said no to adopting because my husband has PTSD and I knew the stress would affect him and our marriage.

I still think about it daily and all my angel babies.


That is super weird. Who asks about people getting pregnant in their 40s? We had a kid in our early 40s and it felt super weird and know very few people are age with kids this young

Do you mean killed?

What is with the euphemism?


I think killed and disposed of body and never reported it to police.

I’m flat chested. I did not get reconstructive breast surgery after my mastectomies and just wear a bra with foobs. I just didn’t want more operations or surgically created body parts.

Same!


What does this entail. Do an AMA pls!


Please don't. These people are always WAY less interesting that it sounds, and much less interesting than they think they are.

Also, I bet you anything people already know and that the PP doesn't even put that much effort into hiding it.


I would never do an AMA. People like you apparently already know everything about us

Why don't you use birth control? That pattern sounds irresponsible, TBH.


MYOB


You posted your business on a public internet site.

That is sort of inviting other people to comment.


That wasn’t me, the 5 abortions poster. I had a boyfriend with a breeding fetish.

I have a congenital birth defect.

I’ve had two abortions. The first one I got pregnant on the pill in college. The second one would have meant three under 3 and I knew our marriage would not survive another baby. I had zero desire to be a single mom of three kids under 3. No regrets.

I secretly can’t wait for the extremely long list of funny things people put in the baby drop boxes.

I’m so sorry you went through that! It’s wonderful you’re planning to go to grad school again. I’m sure they’ll consider your adult life/career and your college grades in proper context on your application — that’s what personal statements are for. Crossing my fingers for you!
