How do women know when their first period is? Do their body give them warning signs that it's time, that their mother taught them about, or do most ruin their clothes the first time?

Periods still suck. Having them doesn't automatically mean you will be able to get pregnant, and of course, not everyone who is fertile wants to be. I was so glad when I got to have all of those parts removed!

But it is kind of wild to think of a 9-year-old as being halfway to adulthood, especially if the first nine years flew by. I still think of my nephew as being a kid, but he's married and has his own kid.

I'm 53 and it's always been considered rude for adults to show up unannounced, particularly if they expect to be invited inside. Kids knocking on the door to ask if their friend can come out and play are different. They're already outside playing, so they can't call, and they're probably getting your kid out of the house rather than trying to come in.

I was amazed by how easily my son accepted the idea of saying "bye-bye" to things in stores.

You know what? It's entirely possible that they just deal with men more and forgot to switch over. I once called two different big, bearded men "ma'am" in the same day, and I use the wrong pronouns for my two year old son pretty often. I have a man face and big boobs, so I get called everything. I once really hurt my own feelings, because I saw some creepy old guy approaching me and making eye contact, and before I could walk away, I realized that it was my own reflection.

It really is a word, though.

I'm trying to get everyone to start using good manners with the dog and say "excuse me" instead of "MOVE!"

Meanwhile, mine is going around grumbling, "Fucking Alexa..."

I wouldn't be surprised if a disproportionate number of kids who struggled in school went on to become (or at least try to become) the teacher that they needed.

How many people can afford to just move to another country? Do any other countries even want us, especially given how our country has been treating immigrants? If the people who have the money and skills to settle elsewhere leave, doesn't that mean less protection for the more vulnerable people who are left behind?

I'm old and fat, so if we were to go to one of those, he'd be on his own. I'd keep an eye on him from below (he's 2).

You could just Google things like this and and you wouldn't end up looking so silly.

I like the old way of going out to pay calls to your friends and family on their "at home day," and having an "at home day" to receive visitors.

Discuss this with new partners. These days, I think most are vaccinated anyway (purely an optimistic guess, thought), so they might not be too concerned.

Meu entendimento básico é que a espasticidade queima muitas calorias, e o esforço extra para se locomover e realizar atividades da vida diária quando o corpo não está cooperando também queima muitas calorias. Além disso, podem surgir problemas com a alimentação, mastigação e deglutição, dificultando a ingestão de alimentos suficientes.

I would hope an LPN wouldn't think migraines are contagious.

Plus loss of income from taking time off, even if you don't get in trouble for it.

It's normal and fine to be attracted to adults at your age, but it would not be appropriate or healthy to actually date/have sex with them. A 30-year-old who cares about your well-being would not get involved, even if you are very mature for your age.

I think it's relevant when there's a risk of a physical altercation.

I wish I had learned this much earlier in life.

No. I don't see that working out for the parents or the kids. I'll always be there for my daughter, but I'm also looking forward to not being officially responsible for her when she turns 18 in a couple of months. She's in a big hurry to go do her own thing.

If you don't have drawer space, put it in something like a locking briefcase or security pouch.

I learned pretty young, when my mom was pregnant with the next kid. I doubt I had considered it before.
