I just wanted to come and update. I've still been attending my Baptist church. I have seen so much answered prayer since going back to the Baptist church, and so much positive change in my life. This could be because I'm praying more, but I know people at the church are praying on my behalf as...

I went there when they had everything 10-30% off, maybe a month ago. I may go now everything may be 40-70% off. Not trying to get everything cheap, I'm just really broke. I'm very sad to see them closing though, even though I can't often afford to shop there. They have lovely things.

Your picture is flawed. Chicken eggs, as we eat them, are chicken periods, not chicken babies. They don't allow the eggs to be fertilized. If you get eggs from a farm with a rooster, from time to time you will crack open an egg with a chicken baby, and you'll know it's a baby, not a chicken...

Gestational diabetes =/= T2 diabetes. It is a temporary condition caused by the placenta. You need to understand how that works before you go throwing it around. No placenta = no gestational diabetes. I have had both severe pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes (don't have diabetes now, btw)...

There is no way to preserve the child's life without leaving it in the woman's womb. We can't remove the child (product of rape, incest, etc) and grow it in a hospital, at least up until around 21+ weeks, and at that point the baby is viable but it isn't advised to remove it. Medically speaking...

At this point in medical technology, there is no way to avoid the killing of the child and spare the mother having to carry the child. The LIFE of the child has more value than ~9 months of the mother's distress. However great that distress and discomfort are, isn't worth more than a person's...

I don't own my husband and he doesn't own me. We willingly and freely took each other as spouses, not as property owned. We joined together as one, not as owners of each other. Anyway, that out of the way. When we met and married, I was finishing school and he was in the middle. I was the...

I am glad to hear that you and your husband are finding success without surgery! Your success with your insulin is amazing, from 60 down to 26 units? That is fantastic!

I'm sorry to hear you have had such a hard time with support from family. Some of my family took a long time to say anything (my husband's family, mostly, most overweight). They weren't rude though, I just don't think they knew what to say. My family has been supportive, my grandmother is...

I turned 30 last year, looking back I felt about the same way. I had a really transformative year. I'm not sure if it was because I turned 30, or just coincidence. I got in shape, I lost 40lbs+ and went from obese to a normal/healthy weight, started seeing a therapist for my anxiety (best thing...

I'm sorry to hear about the uncertainty. My husband and I are considering a big job/life change as well, nothing happening yet but even the idea of pursuing it is unsettling. Excellent news about the changes in your health though! Cutting your insulin must feel awesome. I'm glad the...

Both protect a sensitive area of nerve endings, which are both intended to be a constantly moist area of skin that isn't supposed to be keratinized. The hood is removed in some forms of FGM just like the male equivalent, it's is no more "essential" to female pleasure than the foreskin is by...

Legally you are correct, it is legal to premeditate and take the life of a child who hasn't been born. Morally, I disagree.

But making murder legal doesn't make it right, even if people were already doing it before and getting hurt in the process. If someone is attempting to stab someone else, slips, and stabs themselves in the process, do we pity them and make stabbing legal, because people die and get hurt...

Also wanted to add, my younger sister (she is 24) is still waiting for marriage. She is not terribly happy though, she has never been in a serious relationship and is finding it hard to meet single men that are marriage material. It can be done, but it is hard on her. She hasn't told me, but I...
