Ooh, deadliest catch
My husband and son have just gotten into watching that. I usually work that time of night but they seem to be really into it and it makes me curious about it. I will have to check it out. When you mentioned Emergency it reminded me that I love to watch the ER shows on discovery at night. Sometimes I can catch them before bed. I feel like I get to SEE what I type all day long. :)
Many catch 22s in life

Here's a few I've run across in the course of my life...


You can't get a job without experience...but how do you get work experience without a job?


You can't get credit unless you don't need it...but without it how do you get in a position to not need it?


You can't get a date with a hottie unless you're a hottie, but if you try to date people that aren't hotties, they refuse to date you because they want to date a hottie....


Play by the rules, work hard and life will be golden...and when that doesn't work out because lazy rule-breakes stole all the gold, its your fault, you must not have been trying hard enough.


Life isn't fair.  Get used to the idea.  And keep trying anyway.


Anybody else catch the little LOST show
that was on last night? It was the writers or producers or something discussing the show. They must read the message boards, like the ABC one and possibly the AOL one, and see all the fan theories. I only saw it because we have DVR set up, and it recorded. I'm going to watch it again with DH.

I suppose there will be a recap of it on the LOST website if you missed it.
Did you catch the photo on Fox of her taken out of her estate?

I probably could guarantee with the sting you are not going to have to put up with that type of behavior day after day. Of course, with people trying to be so politically correct they will say no spanking/switching/beating, etc., etc. but YOU are the one having to deal with this out of control child.

Can't ever catch a break! Missed court date for

I got a ticket 4 days before Christmas for having an expired tag (had planned to get it taken care of when my income taxes came in - my fault, but crap, I've been broke the whole year!).  So I got the tag renewed the next day because the cop said they would be looking again after New Year's to write another ticket (have seen that my city has had a 25% increase in tickets written in the last month - like they need the revenue!).  So, all I had for my little one was a PlayDough activity center under the tree $15, and a pink umbrella and some candy in the stocking from Santa.  She was happy, though.


I've had that **??@$ ticket next to my monitor to look at it every day for the last 2 months to remind myself to go before the judge and ask for an extension of paying it until Friday when my check comes in.  I have literally been living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes with only $8 in my account in between.  Well, tomorrow I am scheduled to go to a different court to get a child support order (money I'll never see anyway), and I picked up my big orange folder to put my income tax return in it to take with me.  Guess where I put it?  Yup, right on top of that **??@$ ticket.  Yup, I forgot to go to court last night.  Was being bombarded with emails that my accounts could lose power due to the storm and all MTs needed to empty the systems.  Now there is an arrest warrant out on me.  I talked to a clerk at court and he told me to stay indoors until Friday, then come in and pay to have the warrant removed, then I can get a new date to pay the **??@$ ticket. 


Well, I have to go to CS court tomorrow, but at least it is just a short hop onto the interstate and then quickly out of my city limits.  If I can just make it till Friday, pay the warrant, maybe my karma will start changing.  For the last 15 months, I feel like I am the little kid on Charlie Brown that walks around in a dust cloud.  I have seen the inside of more court rooms in the last year than most people see in their lives with getting custody of GD.  I must have done something really nasty to have this kind of karma for this long.  Oh, well.  They say when you're down, the only way to go is up. At least paying to have the warrant removed is less than the ticket and it gives me another month to come up with the money for that.  I'm so broke, I can't even get drunk to forget my troubles!  Maybe my luck will change by St. Patty's Day   


p.s.  I had to edit this message because I used the word s-t-u-p-i-d to describe that ticket and the website wouldn't let me use it, thus the **??@$ symbols !! 


I love Nancy Grace. working, but will try to catch this one later

RE: PREGNANT MT
1) Yes with my daughter.
2) the entire 9 months....

1) not with my sons at all.

Good luck, but try keeping soda crackers with you and eat those and 7-up or bottled water....that does help somewhat. Be sure and let your doc know about it. good luck with your pregnancy!!
You said we got pregnant, you and your
sister, aunt, who was the other female you are speaking about when you said we got pregnant again?
pregnant WE...
I too referred to US being pregnant, not just me...If you're blessed enough to have a supportive and loving partner who takes an active role in the pregnancy, then you both indeed are pregnant...You were blessed twice after your miscarriage...congratulations!
She is pregnant again.
A savvy female lead my son to believe he could come live with her, and everthing would be paradise. This was when he was 17-years-old.  She was pregnant at that time with someone's elses kid.  He did not care.  He loved her as much as a 17-year old can love.  OK fast forward.  Now he is just 22.  He has had 2 beautiful daughters in the meantime.  I think that is enough.  Neither one of them are working.  I go ever there today on my day off, and he says, "mom there is no easy way to tell you this".  She is PREGNANT again.  Supposedly she had an IUD, I don't believe that.  Either they are both lying or my son is gullible.  They both claim she had a 10-year IUD in so it is "mean to be". If they had the finances to support 4 kids, great news.  But they don't.  I am spending at least 250 a month keeping their utilities on, that does not count food.
How did you first know you were pregnant?

Did you notice certain symptoms before taking a test or going to the doctor?  I am just wondering because my period is 2 months late and my breasts are so swollen and ridiculously sore.  I am hesitating to take a pregnancy test because we have been trying for almost 2 years and every time I never turn out pregnant.  Looking forward to reading your replies.  Thanks!

Giving birth at 70?

A 70-year-old woman from India claims she has become the world's oldest new mother.


Rajo Devi and her husband Bala Ram had wanted a child in all their 50 years together.

She claims to have given birth to a baby girl at the end of November after having IVF treatment. Her husband is 72.


Your birth place

Have you moved or been back to the place (town) you were born? Has is changed drastically or is it pretty much the same?


I was just looking a pictures online of mine and it hasn't changed all that much.


Were you the one who just gave birth?

Has anyone ever been pregnant and had a CT angiogram done? sm
I have a previous history of PE and thought I had another blood clot to my lung.  So after a night stay in the hospital, several doctors telling me that I really needed this done, that it could be possibly life-threatening for me and the baby, that I went against my better judgment and had one done with the contrast dye.  I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and I know this is a very critical time for the development of my little one. Good news, no blood clot, but I am wishing I would have listened to my own heart and not what everyone else was telling me.  They did shield me extremely well.  I laid on one lead shield while two huge, thick lead shields were placed directly below my lungs on top of each other.  Any input would be helpful and any prayers would greatly be appreciated also.  The day before I saw my beautiful baby kicking and acting fiesty on ultrasound. It would kill me knowing that I did something wrong to it.
Ever wonder why pregnant women don't

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists think they have figured out why pregnant women don't lose their balance and topple over despite ever-growing weight up front.
 
Slight differences in the spine allow women to carry the growing load of pregnancy without toppling over.


Evolution provided slight differences from men in women's lower backs and hip joints, allowing them to adjust their center of gravity, new research shows.


This elegant engineering is seen only in female humans and our immediate ancestors who walked on two feet, but not in chimps and apes, according to a study published in Thursday's journal Nature.


"That's a big load that's pulling you forward," said Liza Shapiro, an anthropology professor at the University of Texas and the only one of the study's three authors who has actually been pregnant. "You experience discomfort. Maybe it would be a lot worse if (the design changes) were not there."


Harvard anthropology researcher Katherine Whitcomb found two physical differences in male and female backs that until now had gone unnoticed: One lower lumbar vertebra is wedged-shaped in women and more square in men; and a key hip joint is 14 percent larger in women than men when body size is taken into account.


The researchers did engineering tests that show how those slight changes allow women to carry the additional and growing load without toppling over -- and typically without disabling back pain.


"When you think about it, women make it look so very easy," Whitcomb said. "They are experiencing a pretty impressive challenge. Evolution has tinkered ... to the point where they can deal with the challenge.
"It's absolutely beautiful," she said. "A little bit of tinkering can have a profound effect."


Walking on two feet separates humans from most other animals. And while anthropologists still debate the evolutionary benefit of walking on two feet, there are notable costs, such as pain for pregnant females. Animals on all fours can better handle the extra belly weight.


The back changes appear to have evolved to overcome the cost of walking on two feet, said Harvard anthropology professor Daniel Lieberman.


When the researchers looked back at fossil records of human ancestors, including the oldest spines that go back 2 million years to our predecessor, Australopithecus, they found a male without the lower-back changes and a female with them.


But what about men with stomachs the size of babies or bigger? What keeps them from toppling over?


Their back muscles are used to compensate, but that probably means more back pain, theorized Shapiro, who added: "It would be a fun study to do to look at men with beer bellies to see if they shift their loads."


It's her 16 y/o sister who is pregnant, not her.
Unbelievable.
Oregon man says he's pregnant

Thomas Beatie, who used to be a woman, appeared in the most recent issue of The Advocate, a magazine for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers, Portland, Ore., television station KPTV reported.

Beatie wrote the article, which includes a picture of him while he was 22 weeks pregnant. According to the story, he went through a sex change, but decided only to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy.

Beatie was able to keep the reproductive organs he was born with. The article said he stopped getting the injections and was able to get pregnant.

Beatie, who lives in Bend, wrote he was once pregnant with triplets, but the pregnancy was life-threatening and he lost the fetuses. Now, Beatie said he and his wife, Nancy, are expecting a little girl in July.

In the article, Beatie described some of the challenges he and his wife have faced -- they said doctors won't treat them. The couple met 10 years ago and Nancy is not able to have children.

He wrote in The Advocate that their situation "sparks legal, political and social unknowns."

The couple were out of town Monday and unable to speak with the station.

I would like it that they don't get pregnant to begin with.
n,m,
Ohhhhh....Pregnant!

When I was pregnant that was the only time I experienced Charlie Horses! I would get leg cramps so bad at night it would literally jolt me out of a sound sleep! I wonder if it also has something to do with the pressure the baby is putting on the pelvic area and somehow affecting the blood flow to the legs, in which case, supplements aren't going to help?


Have you heard about the pregnant man?
I was just watching The View.  The man (woman) who was pregnant last year, is pregnant again?   
First off, you're pregnant

that in itself will make this situation feel 10 times worse than it is.  Having said that, I do agree that I would be a little miffed, myself.  It's not like you're intruding on her wedding day/weekend.  She's already married and this is simply a celebration party for her on Friday night. 


I would also agree with the poster below that you have grown apart.  Being that you've been married for 10 years and are expecting, I would venture to guess that you're probably a little more mature (for lack of a better word) than she is as well.  I'm not busting on single women, here, it's just that I remember the "fun years" before I got married and then before I had children.  You're just at different places in your life.


The best way to handle the situation is to go to her party as planned.  I would not splurge for the $50 gift card.  I'd go with something a little more subtle.  If you'd like to rekindle the friendship, you might include a photo of the 2 of you back in your "wild days."  You don't need to stay for the entire party, either.  Anyone would understand a pregnant woman would be tired from such a long travel and then the party.  When you leave, be sure to seek her out and let her know that you'd still like for her to come to your celebration the following day.  If not, let it go.


If you haven't done so yet, be sure to send her a thank you card for the gift.  Believe it or not, some people would think they didn't need to get you anything if they weren't coming to your party (not that that makes it right).  You have so much to look forward to and baby showers are way better than bridal showers/receptions anyday.  You can eat as much as you want and all your guests will say is how "cute you look".  Don't let this dampen your day. 


I did not get bloating when I was pregnant....sm
Congrats on being pregnant.

But....since I did not want to go out and buy lots of maternity clothes (at least at first) as we knew we would only have one child... I used rubber bands on my pants and jeans. You loop one end through the buttonhole and hook the other end over the button. You have to wear a tunic length top of course, but it was worth it. Instant ease and comfort.

Congrats again!!
I was another statistic - pregnant at 18 - sm
After years of growth and raising children, first in my first, forced, bad marriage and now in my second marriage, which so far has lasted 23 years, I came to a couple of conclusions.
First, I can't speak for all girls, but I know I reached out for sex as a substitue for the loving and caring I was supposed to get at home, not just from my father, but from my mother, too. I vowed to make sure my children would get the love they needed and not feel it necessary to look elsewhere while they were still "children."

Second, living a virtuous life generally means living a simpler life. Yeah, you have to put up with peer pressure, but then you don't have to worry about sneaking around, getting caught, getting pregnant, getting STDs. You don't have complicated decisions to make about adoption, abortion, how to tell your partner you have herpes, etc, etc, etc.

As my kids were growing, what we would watch on TV was the launch pad for conversations about morality and common sense. No lectures - they wouldn't have listened - just "see how complicated her life just got?" or "my, he just had to heap lie on top of lie!" etc.

My daughter is 17 and graduating this month, my son is 20. They are both still virgins (yes, they communicate with me and I do know!). My daughter is very goal-oriented and set on college and not letting anything get in the way.

How we raise our children CAN make a difference!

There most certainly WAS birth control back then--sm
it was called ABSTINANCE.
Celebrating the birth of my first grandchild, sm
born Friday afternoon at 12:37 p.m. They are coming home today, I am heading to their house to help out, my daughter tore a lot during delivery, is sore, so I want to do whatever I can, and enjoy the baby, BTW, a girl, 7 pounds, 15 ounces. Yikes, it's official, I really am getting old.
birth control pills
There are enough hormones in birth control pills to make you have a period, even if you are in menopause.

But menopause is not a disease and it most definitely is not a mental disease.

I plan on spoiling myself during this special time. To me, it will be just as magical as before it started and I will be just as happy to see it go, but I am certainly not sick or crazy because my hormones are rockin.
birth control pills
I am so thrilled to see that you think that there is nothing mental about menopause!! All the power to you!!
I personally know how "mental" PMS was and am very thankful for an OB/GYN who agrees that the safest way to combat the mood altering affects of menopause is for me to stay on Depo until I am at least 50 and then if I have any symptoms, I will go right back on it.
I do not intend to suffer any more than I have to. I have enjoyed 13+ years of no PMS thank you very much!! Oh and my MIL went through menopause about 12 years ago and still has hot flashes and nightsweats as does a DA so I am not sure when the symptoms all go away, but I will do whatever possible to avoid the "mental" ones anyway!!!!
Woman Gives Birth to 8 = Entertainment...sm

Like one poster said, because the human body is just not designed to carry this number of babies, these little ones will most likely suffer  a lifetime of congenital defects or illness.  Also,  I'm sure anyone here who has ever brought  home a baby (whether delivered or adopted), can attest to the physical, emotional, mental, and/or financial strains often associated with parenthood. Mother-infant bonding is vital part of normal human development.  I don't see how these babies will have the opportunity to experience this on an individual basis.  It's very sad that no one (mother or doctor) took their overall health and welfare into consideration.  After being deprived of even a healthy pregnancy, their overall start in life is going to be a very rough one, if they even live.   To exploit this situation in a reality show for the sake of entertainment truly sickens me. 


In a country where endangering a person's life is illegal, anyone involved in a case like this should be prosecuted, IMO.  I would rank this woman's doctor right up there with Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon.
