Another perk of Death with Dignity? If I were found to be terminally ill and was cleared (lots of hoops to jump through but many counselors and doctors are open to giving approval) DH could still collect my life insurance benefits and I could get his if he chose DwD. Usually when suicide has been proven, the beneficiary is not allowed to collect. Not under DwD. I really see no downside to this law. A painless death and a spouse gets benefits they deserve.

At first I was put off at the beginning of our relationship when DH told me that the recipes I got from his mom didn't taste the same as she made them. Instead of flying off the handle I sat back and realized he was right. Nothing tastes like when mom made it. She had years to get the recipe right, and I was just getting started. Even the stuff I made didn't taste as good as when my mom made it. He wasn't rude about it, just making an observation. He tries to cook like his mom and realizes the same thing.

I live in the Northwest and we have the Death with Dignity law. None of this "living" on life support cruelty for DH and I. Advance directives. If I'm terminal I have the choice to end my life legally. In my culture death is nothing to be feared, either. It's part of life and the idea of keeping a loved one alive to delay your own grief is disgusting and inhumane.

I can't find the humor in that McDonald's comical where the dh comes home and the dw starts asking where were you? what's that on your collar? why do you smell like mint? Then when he says he had a shake she says I hate you. Then he gives her one and she says I love you. what's funny about coming home to some psycho?

I trust my DH 98%. I will NEVER trust anyone completely, simply because people are people and sometimes do things that hurt others, intentional or not. I hope my husband would never cheat, but to believe he is incapable of human error is stupid. It seems the people that say it would never happen are the ones that have a harder time picking themselves back up and moving on to something better in life when it does happen.

There are new studies coming out that say there's little you can do as a parent to actually make a huge difference in your kids IQ because it's almost totally nature instead of nurture. Not just IQ but also inheriting addictive personalities and stuff like that. Sorry, I just don't feel comfortable with the genes of people I've never met. I could only do an adoption where I knew the bio parents VERY WELL. Since that's not likely, I would probably go straight to IVF. Not because DH and I are superior but because we'd know what we're getting.

Women who paint all men as losers are annoying. Just because you found a lemon, it doesn't make all men bad. I had a few toads but somehow have a normal DH and guy friends. Man hating is just boring and droll.

I think it's stupid when dead people are referred to as "lost" or "passed". They are dead. I've told dh if I die first, he darn well refer to me as dead or I'll haunt his hairy butt.

None of my friends give a flying you-know-what that I don't want kids - except for one. Recently she started making snide, passive/aggressive comments. It really upset me so I asked her DH is she was ok. He admitted that she was jealous of my free time and resents me for it. She thought being a mom meant rainbows and fun all the time. But now she’s tired, overwhelmed and bitter. I’m sure it will get better for her, but I’m mad that she’s taking it out on me. I can’t help her if she’s acting like this towards me.

You know you're CF when one of the best things about turning 30 means your fertility will start to plunge! Fun DH and friends threw a huge party but the idea that the odds of me being an incubator are beginning to decline is pretty cool too.
