Cast1es comments on Apr 9, 2020:

I'm from Maryland , and it was quite common that , when heavy snow was forecast , folks stocked up on TP . The honest truth is , instead of everyone being either at work or in school , they would all be at home for an unknown period of time , and yes , you would indeed need more TP than you would normally use in just a week . TP is one thing you absolutely do not want to run out of , and it's not going to spoil , if you still have some loft over , so yes , it absolutely makes sense to stock up on it , when you expect to be locked in for awhile .

Ever thought of this?

Cast1es comments on Apr 5, 2020:

I watched it . A part of it is about the period . This wasn't all that different , than how all women were treated in the 1960 time frame . While the rest of us didn't have to have all our hair shaved off when we married , and we had a say in whom we married , much of the rest of it was the same . In this time period , we had no real sex education . The hyman , came as a nasty surprise . While part A goes into part B , was explained , there was no mention of fore play . If there was any complaint , it was her fault , and she had to deal with it , with no , "training ."

Marriage provides legitimacy - who is legally responsible for the results of this couple having sex - they have sworn to only have one another . If he has an out of the marriage and she bears his child , he is also legally responsible for that child and that responsibility takes finances away from his family . If she bears someone else's child , she is responsible for seeing that that child is cared and maintained financially . The law says regardless if the child is her husband's or not , he is responsible for supporting the child . There is also the health issues . If either partner is having sex outside of the marriage , they can bring unwanted std's into the marriage , which can cost their partner their life . HIVAIDS , Ebola , Sipholis (sp) , Clamedia (sp) for starters .

Cast1es comments on Apr 2, 2020:

Isn't this true for just about everybody . Even Presidents and politicians die younger than they would have , if they didn't have to work at a job . Alternatively , a lot of things have been done to improve working conditions , some of which were unsafe due to the workers themselves . For instance , for a very long time , I had to put up with smokers , in the spaces I worked in . Of course , there were a lot of other improvements : filters in the cotton mills , exits easily accessed and clearly marked , in case of fire , fire extinguishers easily seen and operated , canaries to validate that the air in the mines was safe or not , handrails , bullet proof glass for cashier screens , ABS brakes , seat belts , & warning labels .
