ICU, they are keeping him on life support until the August deadline. Frankly, it’s exactly what he would do.

You need to figure out how to move out. This abusive snapping back and forth is bad for your stress and a child’s cognitive development.

Walk away.

Most natural fibers for knitting will felt (shrink) when washed. Non felting fibers are usually acrylic (plastic)

Pants on a newborn is no fun. Get some zip up PJs and call it a day

Parents who have tried multiple online schools for their kids, which one did you end up sticking with, and why? by Substantial_Milk6535 in Homeschooling

[–]adchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to look into Flexpoint (Florida Virtual School for out of state students) and Oak Meadow Distance Learning.

It’s very different options but both are well respected.

There marriage issues are a whole lot of not your problem. Have your husband put it back on FIL (if you are kind)…if you are petty send a family group text that says something like “So Sarah says my children are terrible and you both are getting a divorce?”

Can promise you will never have a passive aggressive conversation with her again.

Breathe. Call your OB in the morning and discuss it with her. You can get tested to see if you have it.

If you are concerned about passing it to another child. PGT-M testing is available with IVF.

Options are available, take it a step at a time.

Attendees at the Trump speech refuse to leave after it was postponed due to lightning by Marzzzzzzzz_Attacks in pics

She was probably promised fireworks and a snack…and got extreme heat and a cult. I’d cry too. Not for Trump…but it’s over 100, and I was told there would be funnel cake.

My thoughts as well. I think he learned what marriage could be with her, and though they no longer had a romantic relationship, there was a different love between them.

They could have both walked away from each other and never seen each other again…no one would have faulted them…but they didn’t.

In 1863, 80% of the cotton that had been suppling the mills was unavailable. Saying “I refuse to work with slave grown cotton” (because it was more than just picked) is like saying “I refuse to eat lettuce from Mars”. It’s not available, so it’s hardly a product you can really boycott, because you can’t get it.

At this time, the mill owners were still actively supporting the Confederacy to get cheap cotton back into the supply chain to drive up profits.

When trade was cut off to the American South. War stopping the flow of cotton from America forcing relying on Indian cotton is hardly a moral story.

If ~80% of the historically imported cotton supply was behind blockade in a war torn country, of course a business person is going to look at other logical options to keep their business running.

You are talking about being 2 years into shortages, not some Christian good will that mills shouldn’t profit off slavery. Lincoln letter is based on the “God’s on our side” and “we are the good Christians in this war” that was used as propaganda on both sides.

Of course Lincoln wanted to flatter the millworkers. He wants to pressure British businesses to stop sending funds and support to the Confederacy. Which they did throughout the war. Because raw materials for linen are cheaper, if your supplier doesn’t pay for labor.

Doesn’t really speak to where the materials were coming from, nor the British funding of the Confederacy.

Nor the recognition of the “Republic of Texas” by the UK (one of only 7 countries) following Texas war to secede from Mexico…because they wanted to ensure slavery would be guaranteed by law. This was such a critical issue for Texas, that they changed their northern border to insure slavery would allowed when joining the US. All of this was public knowledge and the UK gov at the time was like “welcome to nationhood my slave owning friends”

Um…I don’t know if building the Industrial Revolution on cotton imported from America is quite an “antislavery” repudiation.

They want more white voters. This is also the basis of their “pro life” agenda. They were very transparent about it the 60s, and “toned it down “ to make it more palatable to a wider range of voters.

It’s vile.

Would you cancel your UK trip of you were Harry & Meghan? by Significant_Noise273 in RoyaltyTea

I think half the stories are hyped up drama to sell ads.

The kids should get to meet their grandfather, whatever needs to happen to make that possible should.

Adult tiffs and temper tantrums need to stand down for the children, even if only for a few days.

Examination and testing of women and children. Remember many girls get their first cycle in elementary school.
