I have been keeping your 2kids for a few months now, for 5.00/hour. Which is a great rate. I even do some preschool with the older one. You almost daily do not show up until 2hours after you tell me you are going to drop them off and that means you pick them up 2-3hours later than the agreed time. Either show up on time or start compensating me from the time you say you are going to get here. Because I am stuck sitting here and cannot have a life waiting on your family. Also means I end up feeding them an extra meal. How to say this in a not rude way to someone who hates confrontation?

World population is not going down. The birth rate is decreasing in many countries with increasing living conditions...that doesn't mean there aren't people being born every single second (and less people dying than being born. People are also living longer. There is a BIG difference between those two things, we still have too many people and are going to have WAY too many in about 20 years time.

Every time I hear an abused woman with children give excuses as to why she can't leave, I want to shake her myself. I grew up as one of those kids. That sh*t f***ed my world up forever. Take the kids. Run. Go be poor if you have to, who cares? It's still better. Trust me. Get. The. F***. Out.

Forgot who it was that said that most people think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires, but that quote has never seemed more true than when i hear this reactionary defense of the 1%. Glad people are looking out for that most oppressed of minorities, the upper echelon wealthy Americans who own this country.

I'm in my late twenties and I haven't had sex in over a decade, even though I have a strong libido. I'm extremely healthy. I eat good food. I run marathons. I'm happy. I have great family and friends. I cannot IMAGINE it's actually true that my life is cut shorter than it would otherwise be just because I'm celibate. Sex is not a need. It's a desire. Period.

I love it when little kids stare over the booth at restaurants. Granted, only if they're too young to know that staring is rude. But it's so endearing. I smile really wide, and then they'll either smile or avert their gaze in shyness or duck down behind the booth and slowly creep up again out of curiosity. I'll stick my tongue out really quickly and they'll grin and laugh. It's like a little game. I love making those little connections with strangers, brightening up each other's day. I would be so sad if the day ever came when I couldn't find joy in a child's innocent gaze.

Sure, money can't buy hapiness, until you don't have the money to even buy food.

I am 22 and on mother's day I went to dinner at the restaurant my 28 y/o bf is the chef at with his mother and sister. When we opted out of desert he sent one out anyway TO ME not his mother. Mortified, I quickly split it and tried giving some to here with a toast about mother's day, but she was clearly hurt. I was the only one that brought her flowers and a nice gift. They didnt even get her a card. She invited me to this dinner bc my mom died a few years ago. I adore her and her big heart and completely shocked at my bf and sister's behavior

The world population is not reducing. We just passed 7 billion. That is more humans than have ever lived before PUT TOGETHER.

Yay for MN!
