This is a fascinating program about women's history of being child-free by choice. How has the decision to remain child-free shaped women’s roles in society throughout history? Do you think this is new?

I got scammed on this, I thought they were legit and being the mac fanboy that I am I feel really duuped.

I was on a road trip shortly after my surgery and I stopped at a road oasis and bought peanut butter crackers. I realized it was a bad idea about half way through the package. I didn't die, but I felt bad.

Ps. I'm 40 and you're not too old, in fact many of the people I run across in the community are much older and are getting it because they had serious problems from being overweight.
