I'm going to become a cop, so I can get away with breaking the law.

Cops don't write each other speeding tickets.

Trust me, at least around here, they do way more often than you think. Husb is a cop and he's gotten tickets. I've gotten tickets. He and his coworkers have given other cops tickets. Other agencies have given his co workers tickets. One time, we were literally harassed by a cop and it was really bad. My son has been pulled over at least monthly since he got his own car....and a couple times, he's been mildly harassed by the cops.

And my husb and his team worked really hard to get a bad cop off the team and off the force, but it took a couple years and caused a hostile work environment, so the info that people have about the cops "covering for one another" is false too....they just have to do it in a way to cover their own butts and make sure that the person goes vs just gets "time off" or something

Purely sociological, honest question:

I think there is a unconscious attraction to women with wide hips for that reason.

On a similar note I fear that with all the c sections, women with wide hips will become less and less.

Well, perhaps wide hippers won't be less, just narrow hippers will be more. I would think that the elimination of a need for a certain characteristic won't make that characteristic disappear, it will just make the absence of that characteristic more prevalent since nothing is stopping it from being eliminated.

Hips widen DURING pregnancy, if they are going to widen at all

My Grandma is a skinny little doll woman. Her hips are tiny. She is 4'8" and has always weighed less than 90 pounds. All of her babies were born fast (3)/no C-section

My mom is a little bigger. But her hips are not particularly wide... All of her babies were born fast (3)/no C-section

I am a little bigger than my mom. My hips expanded slightly during my first pregnancy. I could feel it...ligaments stretching, etc. But my hips are not particularly wide, either. I had all of my babies in less than 2 hours; no C-section. I had 4

to say about this
Bottom line: you're right

He did NOT "take control" of the fed reserve, he merged it with the Treasury. I think it happened in March (?) He was able to do this because we've been a nation at war since 9/11. Pres Bush declared war on terror. That never ended. A president during wartime has different privileges than a president during peace time. He could have and still can declare martial law, as well. Since all 50 states signed off in a "state of emergency," and in that case, he has every right, as a war time president, to declare martial law.

[‌quote BA1]I would consider you 1 in a million (or more).[‌quote BA1]

Haha...thanks

I think about a couple of the guys I dated in the past....and I just SMH. Because not only were they not "winners" on the outside, but the inside was pretty much "loser material," too. I was just dumb.

Current husb is not included in this description. Though he's not the type I'm mostly attracted to, he's not bad ;)

First husb was a 6'6" 280# gay guy with rotten teeth (he chewed tobaccy) And a beer gut (he drank beer and pissed in the closet on the regular when drunk)

I joined old help when I was having marital issues and suffering from depression/PTSD (which was my contribution to the marital issues)

I swear that I didn't google this site. It just showed up one day in an email...I clicked and ended up on the site. It was "DIVINE INTERVENTION" lol :)Since then, my marriage improved. My emotional state improved. I got older and my little bitty kids that were sort of hard to deal with (with the emotional issues) got older.

During the time period of the old help, I also went back to school and used help extensively while I studied. I'd have the site up and banter every now and then with the members. Many of them knew me well and knew that when I needed a "brain break" I would banter (there was a chat room). I'm still friends with many of those folks. I've met some in real life

It seems like those who I bantered with and myself were among the few adults early on. I loved being able to read about the accounts of teen angst, while sympathizing with their plights. I'm certain that seeing what some teens on here were going through helped me to be a better and more aware parent.

I haven't come to this new site often; I don't really need help that much anymore...sometimes I just vent on here because I can't yell and cuss and scream in real life. Or whine and moan. So I do it here from time to time.

My real name is Jill. I had the nickname of Jelly bean or Jilly bean throughout my life.

One of the members on this site told me once that I was not really a jellybean...I was more "spicy" and started calling me Pepperjelly. It stuck to the point that my husband now calls me "Pep"

I'm a mom of four. With an extra (we took one in). I'm pretty conservative. I stay home (sort of)... and home school my kids. I have a master's degree and two bachelor's degrees...and had the loans to prove it...but it was a waste because I never really "used" those degrees outside the home :(

My oldest just turned 18 (son); my daughter is 17; my 2nd son is 14 and my last son is 7. The girl we took in just turned 18. I have wrapped myself up in "mommyhood" to a point where it's unhealthy for me, probably. My kids say that they appreciate me and that they think it was never "unhealthy" for them. They are great/say their lives are great/say that they want to be our friends for life/are good people who respect us. I'm amazed that after my past I was able to guide children the way I did. It's my proudest accomplishment.

My husband is a cop and that worries me more and more as he ages. I suppose I'm going to have to get a "real" job one of these days.

That's quite a life story :)

Hey, I remember you! ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜˜

Hahahaha

Yep :) ;)
