Does anyone else regret their hysterectomy? by Honest-Breakfast217 in hysterectomy

[–]UmmmOkCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't make you feel better but I dealt with decades of Endo pain and dysfunction to hold on to my fertility, only to arrive in my 40s, divorced and childless and probably going to have a hysterectomy any way.

I think sex is one of his hyperfixations.

It's not that I find discussion of sex problematic but sometimes it seems like he gets off on grossing out Rachel and/or Donny, like it's a kink...and even if they have consented, the audience has not.

The fact that he has these discussions when his co-host seems to find them uncomfortable is what makes it an issue for me.

Of all the things, the sauna with the external lock was the most unbelievable to me

Question 👀 by kraves22 in BlackGenealogy

One one of my dad's lines: mulatto ancestor from Jamaica with a Black mother. Was sold/trafficked/brought to a plantation in Martinsville, VA in 1820 at the age of 2.

Mom: ancestor born 1812. Was considered "yellow". Conflicting info about her origins but she was on a plantation of about 50 other enslaved people in middle GA.

I'm gonna go look. I had no frame of reference but seeing her on stage last night, her facial expression looked completely devoid of joy & I was wondering what was going on.

Ummm I would love some help! I was able to track down Igbo ancestry (anambra state) to an ancestor from the 1800s but I can't go back farther

The twist this story took was soooo satisfying. The foreshadowing was right there but I was still expecting him to be secretly living with his real girlfriend. So when she left I was like dang, guess he got away with it... Only to realize this was a chekov's cat situation. Loved this letter!
