Home interest rates are so bad Target is like “Don’t even think about a dream house, kids, cause that ish isn’t happening. Here’s a fake apartment for you to play with though!”

I’ve read this book and it’s incredible. So much so that it stands to be the go-to guide for health and longevity. (Note: I am not a paid endorser; it’s simply terrific).

@DTOhl Yessss!

Have you seen the @BeebeHealthcare billboard by the beach that says "Sussex County is our specialty"?

And on top of this- women must have the baby no matter what, just to have that baby grow up, walk into elementary school and get slaughtered because we won’t do anything about guns in this nation. But by all means let’s take women’s rights away.

Adding to the list of places not to travel or support…also if anyone from this horrid state needs to come “camp” in Delaware, I have a room and support for you. https://t.co/IoqV20VfGh

[Rachel Swick Mavity @rachelswick]

So, women are obligated to have the baby- where is the law requiring the father of that baby to pay child support and take care of mom and baby?? Why is the responsibility strictly a woman’s?

"This is a story about what it means to be a community hospital in a time when larger hospital systems thrive, and smaller hospitals are faced with a fateful question:
