Had to explain to daughter-9 why she can't say "douchebag" also had to explain why we were all laughing so hard.

@stimmy_neutron When I got moved from the helper position in the 12-18mos room to the lead in the 24-30mos room the mom to an allergy kid begged the office to let her kid move with me. In the 4 mos or so I had been helper he didn't have any exposures (the longest time) he was w me almost 2 yrs

@clhubes My most fond memory of my now 19 and 21 year olds was when they were playing dolls once and I hear "let's pretend their mommy died", excuse me but is that a threat?

@ask_aubry This literally makes me want to cry

@jantastik @wnderlustingem Exactly why I can't eat bananas or mousse. Why look solid, if actually mush?

@tastefullysaucy @ChiamakaCintia @ZombaeKillz this is such an awesome inspiring roast

@emilykmay I made the decision but my ex filed to make sure he had the upper hand. And he was not a good husband. For some men it's a power play, because you can add things into the paperwork. Like "don't take anything out of the house" even tho he had already spent time destroying things

Long distance BFF tattoos!

@clhubes I was very cautious with my kids, not tvs in their rooms, iPads weren't a thing we watched TV together, no soda, no red dye etc. My husband raised his kids on SpongeBob and Kool aid and while all 6 are thriving adults only his scored a 30 on the ACT. So don't sweat those things!

@lgbtqnation That's awesome! The Northshore (Covington/Mandeville area) also in Louisiana had their first ever pride parade. So happy to see the south being inclusive 🏳️‍🌈

@CharitieHartsig My best friend went to prison simply for knowing a crime took place (credit card fraud) and cooperated with police. The person responsible didn't serve a single day. Don't talk to police!

[Jess Slade @jess02silverman]

@emilykmay When I ask my husband "anyway you want to doing something for me", like make me a grilled cheese or go get me some coffee, he usually responds with "I absolutely don't want to, but obviously I will cause I want you to be happy"

Disappointed in @UofDenver for giving up on protecting the encampments. Just because it's challenging, doesn't mean the answer is to give up supporting those that choose to express unpopular opinions. Sad to know this university does not have its priorities straight.

@Its_the_Pappy @DynamoSuperX I slowly rewatched for 3 years to avoid finishing the show and i was so disappointed that's how it ended but also relieved to be able to move on lol

@ZombaeKillz Those made me bawl like a baby. I almost hyperventilated the first time I watched Glen die.

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like.
Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out.
The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked.
I'll let you decide how you feel about that.
After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way.
The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?!
No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!".
Can you even imagine how that must feel?
The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck.
I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances.
So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved.
So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C.
They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home.
So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out.
They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her.
Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD!
God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done.
If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view.
It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be.
If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

@KevinandTrevor Definitely much closer to shfifty-five

@Cooperstreaming I met my husband at the steakhouse inside the casino he works at for an early birthday celebration last night. I adore the staff there so much and last night I was give a card with their signatures with a little happy birthday message inside. I almost cried it was cute!
