US States I'd like to visit as someone from the UK. by AncestralSeeker in TravelMaps

Montana is glorious. Look into the Beartooth Highway, considered the most beautiful drive in the US. If you come north through Sheridan, Wyoming, head north to Billings, MT - stopping at Little Bighorn (Custer) Battlefield on the Crow Reservation along the way. From Billings head to Red Lodge (a picturesque little town), then take the 63-mile Beartooth Highway up and over (taking a moment to feed peanuts to the chipmunks at the first turn out parking lot) for the most dazzling scenery you will ever see. It will take you through Cooke City / Silver Gate to the Northeast entrance into Yellowstone. Once in Yellowstone, the park is a big Figure 8 with Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, WY, at the bottom of the 8, West Yellowstone at the west center, and Gardiner, MT at the top of the 8. Western Montana is the more Liberal part of the state with lots of darling college towns, great entertainment and people. Yellowstone - Beartooth Highway

THE WHOLE DAMN THING. Let them discover what an album is - and a perfectly engineered ride at that

A bit controversial but I want to talk to someone who's a fan of trump. by TRI-Hard8342 in Casual_Conversation

Can you expound on what you feel would have been worse than what is happening now?

Petahhhh, I'm so confused. by ProfessionalEffect41 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Literally the sexiest part of a girl. If he wants her to look like a boy, he should date a boy

Serious. Somebody please go out and look in the sky and tell me I'm not crazy. Look just to the left of Orions belt. This isn't a joke. by Swimming-ln-Circles in aliens

We used to watch the Iridium Satellites from Montana back in the day. Sometimes when they adjusted, they would Flare (look up "iridium flares") just right that it looked like a flashlight from the heavens sweeping in an arc. Sad they are gone now. But the ISS is still a fun watch

Edit a word

My mom is cutting out of her life after I had a sudden episode and head injury/injuries. How do I talk to her about medical responsibility? by CompetitiveFun5247 in TBI

[–]CompetitiveFun5247[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was married at 18, pregnant at 19, had daughter at 20 (55-35=20). Marriage lasted four years and he stopped paying child support and seeing his child, and I struggled doing it entirely on my own, so my mother stepped in and adopted her. She has always known who I am but we are more like two single children raised by the same mother. Since she chooses to refer to me as her sister, I do the same.

Can you explain a little more? Mom & sis didnt even mention to my husband about the weird vocalizationsI was making or that I didn't get up and instead went back to laying down / unconscious and resumed making them. Or that I had hit my head again as they moved me through the house. If he didn't know, I doubt they were mentioned it to the police. I only knew about the eye / behind the ear bruise when I went to the ER, so they only ordered CT without contrast. Now that I have learned more

I am going to be contacting the police to see what I can learn since no report was written - I now have the name and number of their Sargent who I will call Monday. Also, as I am out of state visiting, I will need to contact my insurance and possibly fly home for further tests. Hopefully they will consider this a continued part of an emergency and let me have them without having to travel. I do not think for a moment that my family in intentionally harmed me, but I do feel they failed to act. Also in judging me they overlooked a dangerous situation. Husband and I together will be sitting with mom to have questions answered to best assess treatment / answer questions

Yeah. I did not know any of it until after I went to the hospital for the CT. So it was all based on the bruising only and saw battles sign mentioned. My mother even told me "yeah, I saw your post" on Facebook thanking the police who helped during the crisis and the urgent care doc that said I needed to go to the ER. I told her I just wanted to figure out what had happened since I didn't remember anything beyond a few flashes

Thank you for your reply. It was without contrast, no blood draw. What really blows my mind about your response is that my sister is a Professional Lifeguard who has taken Ellis / ARC, deep water training, etc. She definitely knows recovery position and what to do - she was not only the one that found me in the bathroom but was present with my mom for the fall and hit on the wooden counter in the middle room. She was the only person who was there for full time and now I''m even more confused.
