I love how the different viewpoints of people--it's what makes life interesting. I thought Bush sucked as a Gov until I seen him as a Pres.

who supports right to choose

2 thoughts immediately--the first being an assault victim myself in 1997 and it has taken me roughly 10 years to deal effectively with it, hell no! I wouldn't have a baby from an assualt. Thankfully, I didn't get pregnant and have to make the tough choice but knowing the resentment and pure hatred I felt for a long time I would not push that unknowingly but very possibly on a innocent child. Secondly, I taught school a year when they were in desperate need of teachers and I was fresh out of college. I worked in Special Education and there was a 14 year old mentally challenged 7th grader who was pregnant. She could not count change, tell time, and was basically on a 1st grade level and pregnant. Her parent's didn't believe in abortion so here she was 7th grade, virtually incompentent in the means of taking care of the child and having a baby. Long story short, the baby ended up getting neglected because she didn't understand anything about what it takes care of a newborn, the father abused her because he was prepared to take care of his special needs wife or the baby and the baby is now in foster care. So for me, I'm pro-choice. You can't decide what's best for anyway. Sometimes the hardest decision is the best decision. -
My son battled lovely ringworm for almost a year in his hair. We had 3 bald spots and nothing worked. No anti-fungal topical solution, not even an oral prescription. Then a friend recommended TEA TREE OIL. You can buy it even at Walmart but you have to get the pure oil. It stinks to high heaven but works like a champ! My son's ringworms were gone in less than a week and have yet to reappear.

Do You? You know use that word!
taw1975 replied to SlimTarnishedDiva's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
NEVER! That is the most OFFENSIVE word in the English language. I don't like it when Black people use it but it is NEVER acceptable for a white person to use it. The history and hate behind that word has torn apart an entire group of people. The use of it so casually now by younger, ignorant (yes! I said it) whites as well as blacks discounts the disturbing history behind that word. Too many people risked their lives to rise above that hateful word for it to become commonplace. Furthermore, as a white woman with a black child and I will go to jail and possibly prison behind some one speaking of mine in such a matter. My best friend of 15 almost 16 years is black and never would I refer to her as "MY N.." with the A or the ER. It's inappropriate and for whoever mentioned the "C" word--absolutely NO COMPARISON!
