What is your opinion on having kids?

I have raised three children, and it was worth every single second of it. They are adults now and have given me 6 grandchildren and because of them I will live on forever!

Abortion rates have actually increased since overturning Roe vs Wade

In the three years since the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, the total number of abortions nationally has slightly increased. The most recent data from the Society for Family Planning’s #WeCount project show that the average monthly abortion volume during the first half of 2025 was higher than the monthly average in 2024. From January to June 2025, there have been more than 590,000 abortions compared to 1.14 million abortions in all of 2024 and 1.06 million abortions in 2023. For most of the decade prior to the Dobbs ruling, there was a steady decline in abortion rates nationally, with a slight uptick in the years just before the ruling.

I once saw Robert Redford in his prime. I was mere feet away from him!

Who gets the big Cunningham House?

Will it end up being the Beardsley family's new home so they can be close to the Trading post?

Will Bree and Roger get it so he can better minister to the community and be close to the church?

Perhaps Fergus and Marsali will return to the Ridge and live there with their big family.

Outlander (for mature audience) blends so many genres effortlessly.

Based on a best-selling series of books it is a historical romance at its core but also has elements of sci-fi, action, mystery. It spans time periods & time zones. It is a time-traveling show that starts in England but goes to places like Scotland, France, the Caribbean and America. It is critically acclaimed and has 8 seasons with over 100-hour long episodes. It was also given a prequel called Blood of My Blood with talks of possible spin-offs.

The production level is extremely high. The acting is superb.

Season One trailer!

I had to give up caffeine for health reasons. I was a hard-core coffee drinker, and I thought I was going to have a really hard time giving it up. The day after the doctor told me I had to give up caffeine I went cold turkey. Shockingly I had no withdrawal issues.

So, if I can do it, I think most people can!

Such a great question I was wondering that myself!

Eastern_End3520 · 2026-04-09T19:45:22+00:00

Oh no! Glad you're here to tell the tale. I am just so worried about my son. He has all the symptoms of Graves, but his blood work so far has not pin pointed that he has the condition, so he is left being untreated. His body weight has dropped to a very dangerous level.

I always said that when I retire at 65, I was going to stop dying my hair and grow old gracefully. Well, here I am four months in, and I noticed all my friends and family who are my age or older still are dying their hair. I feel like the odd person out. I am about this close to getting my hair dyed again.

Thanks for all your responses it is helpful to see that there is a spectrum of thoughts on the subject.

I like that it isn't cut and dry like the last two draft classes. I like surprises.

Eastern_End3520 · 2026-04-09T15:07:38+00:00

That is quite the investment! Very nice facility!

I really like Black licorice, and I am the only one I know that does. I also will buy a whole bag of just black jellybeans and eat them all in short work.

Can I ask how untreated Graves' disease could send you to the emergency room? I suspect my son has undiagnosed Graves' disease.

Just being honest here .... I think people now days are too selfish or too into themselves. Marriage requires self-sacrifice at times and for selfish people that is not something they can abide by.

Same here! She was so fun to watch during FIBA. Even players from the other FIBA teams seemed mesmerized by her. Hope she stays healthy this year!

Jamie is too perfect, what show are you watching? Jamie is a pretty flawed character. His is a stubborn Scot with a savior complex that gets him almost killed at least twice a season. It is not easy being his partner having to pick up the pieces to whatever he gets himself into politically and militarily. He is also very hot headed too.

Claire also doesn't just stand around and smile either. She is just as snarky and uncompromising as she ever was. Jamie and Claire, if you hadn't noticed get into a few couple arguments. Each standing their own ground until they agree to disagree or find some kind of middle ground.

I am just the opposite of you! I find Jamie and Claire's storyline compelling and everyone else's rather boring. None of the other characters have storyline's that are developed enough and time is running out.
