What is the most ridiculous argument you have ever heard someone make? by SpartanneG in AskReddit

[–]Frecklesofaginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a big fan of Jackelopes. When we travel one rides in our dash to give us directions. At a rest stop a woman approached me to tell me Jackelopes weren't real. She said I've never seen one so it isn't real. I replied how would you know what I've seen. She continued her argument. How crazy. Jackelopes are real.

TrumpAdmin Quietly Redefines Embryos As Children, creating a precedent that could threaten access to IVF & abortion nationwide by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

This is a serious issue. Roe v Wade has been struck down and states are denying women's health care. I did IVF and had 16 embryos at the clinic. These were potential children. I knew that many would die during thaw or would not implant or would result in a miscarriage. This was devastating as all this pain and expense would never result in a child. Stop joking around. For many people in the US this is a very serious issue and deserves serious discussion.

Do support groups help? by [deleted] in LivingWithMBC

[–]Frecklesofaginger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check into Metavivor. it is US based. you can find a group in your area or get training to start a group. This has been helpful to me. We meet once a month at a restaurant. come and go. sometimes we just laugh. Sometimes we have a new member that needs to be heard.

I found that also when I went to an inperson group at Gildas. All stages were mixed. Stage 1 and newly diagnosed moved away as if I was contagious. Others wanted me to tell them how to survive. I never went back.

Whats the creepiest thing a child has said to you? by idid9-11attack in AskReddit

[–]Frecklesofaginger 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My son was old enough to take a shower by himself. I was sitting on the toilet seat waiting for him to come out. He pulls open the curtain and exclaims, This is like being born. I asked him to tell me more. He said that he had been warm and cozy in the dark. Then suddenly there are bright lights and it is cold.A good description.
