An Open Marriage
Just to be clear, Newt Gingrich didn’t ask for an open marriage. That raging narcissist asked his ailing wife for permission to continue cheating. There’s a huge difference.
Abortion saved my life: I almost died in an emergency room because the doctor on call refused to perform a necessary procedure →

“My two kids at home almost lost their mother because someone decided that my life was worth less than that of a fetus that was going to die anyway. My husband had told them exactly what my regular doctor said, and the ER doctor had already warned us what would have to happen. Yet none of this mattered when confronted by the idea that no one needs an abortion. You shouldn’t need to know the details of why a woman aborts to trust her to make the best decision for herself. I don’t regret my abortion, but I would also never use my situation to suggest that the only time another woman should have the procedure is when her life is at stake. After my family found out I’d had an abortion, I got a phone call from a cousin who felt the need to tell me I was wrong to have interfered with God’s plan. And in that moment I understood exactly what kind of people judge a woman’s reproductive choices.“
Her experience is awful and beyond horrifying.
A message that was sent to me on OkCupid:
“I found your profile and you sound interesting. My name is Scott and I’m a graduate student studying engineering. Many of the things you listed in your profile sounds like everyone else’s profile. What makes you so different?”
I didn’t realize this was a job interview.
I messaged a guy on OkCupid.
Before this I always waited for everyone to message me first. But when that didn’t work out too well, I finally ballsed up and messaged someone. But now I’m too afraid to read his response to me.
Because I’m a 12 year old child, obviously.
People are saying it's too soon for Joe Paterno jokes. I guess I should wait a decade to say anything, just like he did.
I’m done here.
