The Secret Lives of Democratic Women Married to MAGA Men
Organist1 comments on Oct 20, 2019:
I used to work with two women like that. I don't know how they did it. I never would have been able to stay married to someone whose values were repulsive to me.
HippieChick58 replies on Oct 20, 2019:
I blame much of this on Fox News. My ex grew more conservative as he watched more and more Fox.

@CommonHuman I did walk out of a class once, the instructor had majorly pissed me off, I don't remember why. He did ask something about why I was leaving and I tossed off something about a family emergency. I was a non traditional student; I was over 45 and had teenagers, so it was plausible. I could have gotten some trouble, and I did fill out the class assessment and was harsh but honest. I don't even remember what class it was. He taught to the first two rows, and the rest of the classroom was ignored. I think I have had a quite unusual and full life.

I use one of my stainless spoons, only plastic if I forget to pack the real stuff. And yes, I cart it all back home at the end of the day and wash and reuse. I do have a drawer full of plastic utensils, they might get used with grandbabies, or anytime I expect I would need to toss it. Son in law used a plastic fork to pick a lock for me a few months ago, the tines got broken off. I think all the plastic I have has also been washed and reused a few times. I want to keep that crap out of the landfills and oceans.

But they are very much interwoven. I can only be truly intimate with anyone if I truly trust them with the entire truth of who I am. If that isn't there then there will always be an obstacle to full intimacy.

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 6, 2019:
There are a few that truly have no sexual identity or urges. It is unusual, but not uncommon. I have a couple of friends who have kids that are that way, and in history there is mention of a few individuals who are suspected of being asexual. If everyone were asexual the species would die out, so it is unusual, however in some societies those people were honored and revered. Some of the reasoning was that if you don't have the sexual urges you have other gifts..

We were sent to a military medical center, ex was an Army officer at the time. They did genetic testing, ultrasounds and xrays. They saw all that was wrong with the baby. i was 5 months pregnant. They told us and other documentation I've read supports the concept that carrying that baby to term would have threatened my life and baby would not have lived anyway.During delivery she came out in parts, one of the defects was the skull was missing.

Too often the catholic hospitals have bought out smaller hospitals and they are the only game in town, especially in rural areas.

@Remiforce Good death is what I hope for. I've told my kids no life extending measures. I will not do chemo, or go for other horribly expensive procedures. When my quality of life goes I want to go. I used to work Short Term Disability claims. I had a claimant that was a single woman over 70, her whole life was teaching. She had cancer and was taking chemo. She had treatments 4 days a week she was sick from the chemo for 6 days, she could no longer work. If she stopped the chemo she would die is what she told me. For me it wouldn't have been worth it, I'd have stopped chemo long ago.

Federal judge rules an anti-LGBTQ church can legally be called a ‘hate group’ / LGBTQ Nation

A federal judge has ruled that an anti-LGBTQ Florida-based church, D. James Kennedy Ministries, can be labelled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a matter of free speech. Although the court didn’t decide on whether the church itself is an actual hate group, the SPLC says the church “maligns the entire LGBT community.”
The church and its corporate entity, Coral Ridge Ministries Media Inc., sought to sue the SPLC stating that the group “illegally trafficked in false and misleading descriptions of the services offered by [the group] and committed defamation against DJKM arising from the publication and distribution of false information that libels the ministry’s reputation.”
The church also sought to sue the online retailer Amazon because the SPLC’s designation rendered it ineligible for charitable donations through Amazon’s giving programs, as well as GuideStar, an organization that connects donors and grant-makers to non-profit organizations, for dropping the church from its services.
Judge Myron Thompson of the U.S. District Court in Montgomery, Alabama tossed out the lawsuit, basically stating that free speech rights allow the SLPC to label the church as a hate group if it wants.
In a statement, SPLC President Richard Cohen said:
“The fact that Coral Ridge claims its statements about the LGBT community are biblically based doesn’t immunize it from criticism. We have a First Amendment right to express our opinions, just as Coral Ridge has a right to express its opinions.”
The Miami Herald reports that the church was named after mega-church pastor D. James Kennedy Ministries, a man who co-founded the Moral Majority, a politically influential lobby that successfully tied conservative politics to evangelical Christianity in the ’70s.
Church spokesman John Rabe defended the ministry against the hate group designation, saying, “We believe that marriage is a central institution to society and it was ordained by God. [We] would not advocate any sort of violence or any sort of prejudice. We absolutely affirm equal rights for homosexuals and all other people. We believe in equal rights.”
However, the SPLC says that every church on its anti-LGBTQ hate group list spreads anti-LGBTQ messages.

Given the theoretical time, I doubt whether or not she "enjoyed" it was a consideration. Given that it is an artists rendering, I am sure it is influenced by the belief system of the artist. Whether or not it is rape is not clear, she may have felt there was no other option, and honestly having that baby would have ensured her future so she may have consented. I don't think either of them necessarily enjoyed it.

@RavenCT A few years ago I was looking into writing a romance novel, I had some study guides and ideas. I got so sick of what I was writing I stopped. It was just too not real and too not me. Maybe I should have stuck with it. But life moves on and I got into other stuff. If only I could get paid what I need through my other stuff. Or paid a living wage through my other stuff. I can't sell a quilt for the cost and time of making it.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 14, 2019:
@AnneWimsey I too got the dryer, and app. I love being able to make the adjustments when needed. I did some research before I went to Costco, and I've got some smart friends with hearing aids that gave me lots of info. I am in a large enough metro area that I had the choice of 3 Costco's with HA centers. The one I went to was not closest, but the one I could get into soonest is on the far side of town. But I wanted it now and my job kinda pushed it. I would rather not need them, but such is life. I will enjoy all the things I can do with them.
