I agree with everyone about the year book, girls do have babies younger than they ought sometimes, but I don't think we need to encourage it, plus you'd be surprised how many silly girls in earlier years at school would look at that and hope to be the one chosen in a few years, sounds silly but some girls are that way. So I'd say leave off on that.
I hadn't even thought of that... young girls are so impressionable - but I have seen a few documentaries on BBC TV where young girls who are pregnant have older sisters who also had babies in their teens & say things like, "I am so glad I'm having a baby - I've wanted one since my big sister had one..." like they are dolls or something. We need to break this culture as it's damaging on the young bodies, difficult on the young mothers & doesn't give a child the start in life they need... I am not saying all teen mothers are 'bad' or even 'poor' mothers, but it is definitely not ideal & will lead to more & more problems in our society! I was well into my 20s when I realised how right my parents were about certain things - Hey! I still keep realising things, now! - so how can such a young person be able to aply the lessons they've learned as adults when they are not really adults themselve yet?

Hi Magda, so you used to live in Australia but now you live in England? Do you like the change or do you miss Australia.
Hi! I love London! The history, the galleries, museums, parks, location (in relation to Europe & the rest of the British Isles) history! And did I mention the history?? I am planning to start studying (although I've postponed it til next January for financial reasons) & will be doing... can you guess? HISTORY! (wow! Good guess!) I am a nanny & I love the community I live in & the family I live with & have made some lovely friends here - but I must admit it' too far from my family & Australian friends! My mother passed away last year & it's been so very hard to grieve & work through that loss when I am on the other side of the world from those I love the most. THankfully I have family here (albeit 2nd cousins) whom I have found a strong bond with, & am very close to... I think I shall return to Australia one day, but for now I am very happy in London...
Coming to see my browncoat family at Dragon*Con next week, although it is going to bankrupt me! I am committed beyond the point of no return!

Anyone got more favourites?

Li'l sis! I had no idea you were contemplating a breast reduction, & I completely understand... mine are currently 40F so they do cause upper back, neck & shoulder pain, possibly contribute to my frequent headaches & are generally uncomfortable... my ex used to say that breast reductions were a terrible idea - he loved nothing more than big, pendulous ones... *sigh* I would seriously consider it one day... I understand reductions better than enlargements... I mean I do understand that some women have self esteem issues which might be helped by having larger breasts, but the discomfort of large ones is physical, not emotional or mental (although they can contribute to those issues, too...) I think you would look just as gorgeous as you do now!
I am in the final week of counting down & I know exactly how many hours until I get Jimi-bear hugs again!! It's been 3 years & I am starved for them! I will demand at least 80 a day!!! (poor Taunji - his partner - is going to have to get in line!) I miss my browncoat family so much!

Surviving cancer is hard enough but to lose parts because of it sucks. One other thing, health insurer denying benefits to a breast cancer patient who is male. Thoughts?
I'd say that the American Cancer Society probably has something like that in place, or at least knows where to send people to hook them up.
Re: denying benefits to males with breast cancer.. cancer is cancer. Period. Unfortunately I would not be surprised to find it's been done.

Um... So anyone could just wander in here and join in the conversation? Well.. within reason? 'Cause like someone posted earlier, I always found these threads to be somewhat 'clique-ish' and just didn't want to intrude on the conversations.
But I'd certainly give my 2 cents if I knew I wouldn't be intruding. ;)

lol we gotta stop being so cliquish. That's probably why the thread died.
Yep everyone is welcome to jump in the conversation. If you've got questions of your own that's great too. Some questions can really get the ball rolling.

Ok Next ponder topic....
So do you think that couples should have a date night????? To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

Once couples move in together every night is date night. It's like why there's a father's and mother's day but no kid's day.

Oh, Zeek, in a perfect world... that would be true.
Add kids and such.... not so much.
I am a firm believer in the need for date nights. Usually WITH the significant other. But sometimes, a solo run IS necessary. If only to allow some of the angst that might build up (speaking only to what I have experienced - not assuming everyone's life is like mine) to melt away.
BUT... Date nights together? Absolutely! Kids should be left with a babysitter, or else it is NOT a date night.
Just my 2 cents.
