BATTLE PLANSBby Gen. Bob Slattery and Al !/ full frontle with salt 2. lots of Right Guard 3} Egg throwing teams on flanks (wear helmets in case of return) 4a/ X's where their eyes were mean theyre dead 5 make them look over there then run around them 6. Booby trapped caves filled with gold and chicken nuggetts rigged for collapsing. &. fake babies all over the place with NO MAN'S LAND written on them and the NO crossed off. 8. COndoms are filled with assorted nuts and turmeric instead. 8(a) optional> cut off there phone wire. (no reinforcements to challenge if losing) 7/ Use coordination and hiindsites to blow up their bridges and watch out towers (at night)! 10 get one and tie her hair in knots with dirt but let her live to go back and tell the others about the DOOM!
12Strings tied from from all the chair legs and table legs in the cafeteria and holes poked in the (Bottom of) yogurts.
13d Place fake signs in all the most conspicuous places - go here instead of there, etc. to confuse while attacking or during.
13e. Secretly change their lipsticks with explosive sharpie pens that explode with a timer or sphygmometer .
FINAL STROKE OF DOOM: put a mouse all all their mouthpieces of their phones and when they realize that they they almost put a mouse inside their mouth, they'll scream and run around thus revealing their secret headquarters.

Why the horror of a Process ending but not equally of a Live Result? A Process that often ends similarly around the time when many miscarriages happen. Most women do not have terminations after 8-10 weeks. I once met a woman with 3 children, one with Spinal Bifida, sobbing, because the spermicide/condom didn't work and she found herself pregnant. She felt she had to terminate this pregnancy.... simply for her and her husband to afford to take care of the family they have.
Whose quality of life is being threatened, changed, or in any way affected what an American woman does with her personal and family issues? Is Liberty Only about Federal Lands, Guns, Ignoring EPA rules and Religious Expression? What business is it of yours interfering with a Woman's own personal decision, between her, her family, her doctor and her relationship with her God?
For a country that worships is War, Guns and Capital Punishment, it has NO CREDIBILITY weighing on the 'Value' of Life. The Nazarene clearly stated his rejection of violence in Any form.

OK, you play angry woman and I'll play angry woman. How about the favors shown to the religious right by funding their programs, also known as faith-based programs. The Bushies steered billions to right wing organizations, with the usual amount of corruption. Interestingly, the right LOVES guns, Ignoring EPA rules, capital punishment and religious expression,particularly when it infringes on liberal denominations or just plain I- don't- care. Also when it requires participation by unbelievers. Thank you for the sentence about a woman's relationship with her God. That Protestant tenet seems to be ignored by those who believe in Big Church. Enough ranting or one day. Have a nice Sunday service, whether in a church, or at breakfast with the kids, or bird-watching, or whatever helps in your search for meaning.

I think all of the time is helicopter parenting. Much of knowing how to entertain one's self is learned as a kid...... I also want to say that parenting is hard (I think ) so want to give people space to sometimes get lost in a freecell game on their phone or or or

it's pretty brutal
i do support a woman's right to choose
and i'm not a big fan of abortion, however i think using birth control to prevent both (unwanted children and pregnancy) would be much wiser
a question that should be posed to parents: what am i responsible for?
having/raising children is a huge responsibility
what would be the goal/incentive of having a child?
people thinking about having children should understand what is involved and what conditions need to be in place for a child to flourish
i think if we look at the successful cases we'll see some clues
has anyone looked the data or provided that data to your agency?
just curious
peace
