I've also wondered about this. The things that make you go hmmmmmmmm..........

Oh I soooo feel for you!! Ugh! It's never easy dealing with feeling like your going to "loose it" alll day....everyday... for months! It's the one thing I hate the most about being prego. I've done it 5 times(although we have 4 'living' children,as one died soon after he was born),but thankfully that icky feeling would go away by the time I reached 4 months.
Out of the things I have tried nothing was a miracle cure(for me) but sleep/rest seemed to help out ALOT on how sick I felt. When your chasing around other little munchkins and not able to rest when you need to,it can make you feel so much worse.It will all be worth it in the end! Everyday that goes by you get one day closer to holding that sweet baby.I know it seems like forever before that day comes but it surely will!! For me,the very second immediately after my baby is born and it's placed in my arms is one of the greatest moments there is in life!!
I hope you feel better soon Hang in there!

I just wanted to say thanks to you Blondie for all the time, energy & work you do on these!
And I'm a bit surprised(although I probably shouldn't be) about no mention of the "generation change"??? That's a biggy one!

Problem is -you tire people out if you keep them constantly in a state of eschatalogical expectancy - and also if you constantly have a big push for everything. Put another way, all emphasis is no emphasis
Yep,keep push'n 'em WTS until they all just don't really care anymore.

Hell NO!
Not even with my entire family telling me if I don't go back they will "informaly shun" me. It makes me so very sad that they see me as worse than a murderer etc.
But I'm not going to waste my life on something false.Life is to short & percious to be wasting.

I kind of hope they keep it up.The more they inforce stupid crap like this the more it pisses people off.Especially the young people.And it gives them one more reason to ask questions or out right rebel.The more everyone gets upset (for one reason or another) the faster they are to walk away and all the faster the great tower falls.So BRING IT ON you mind controling rats!

FlyingHighNow
Like I stated in my earlier post, I would consider the plural wives thing only for family reasons not for sex.If sex was the issue, then why not forget about polygamy and having children & instead swing? Tit for tat. Nope,I'm not bi. And honestly,if I wanted to get off on 'watching and hearing' people knock'n boots I'd go down and get myself a bunch of porn video's. Again,I would not consider doing this for sex reasons,there's far easier ways to get fun sex than that.
As far as the first example you made, I would have never done this. Why did they agree to such a thing if pregnancy was possible? If your infertile i.e. your tubes are tied you've had your ovaries removed etc. and there's no way in hell you can get pregnant then that case could have worked.But obviously,she WAS fertile.Why wasn't this considered and talked about as "what if" BEFORE having sex? Sorry but sex does have another purpose besides just pleasure and that's to get the guy to squirt in the women so she........get's pregnant. If they talked about the risk of getting pregnant and couldn't agree on what to do if such a thing happened, then why do it unless you didn't care if it broke up the relationships involved? Secondly,doesn't this happen all the time in a slightly different situation.Where a guy cheats on his wife and his "girlfriend" get's pregnant.How it all came about, was different.The end result is the same.The marriage/relationship breaks up,girlfriend pregnant bla bla bla.
Ummm...I ain't a hippie and never aspire to be one.I don't ever plan on having any type of hippie commune nor morman compond.How does this example have any relevance to me? Doesn't this happen as well in other situations where a girl goes out and boinks a few guys and then doesn't know which one was the Father? Or how about the ones that do know who the Father is but the Father is looser and has no interest in the child's life and has never even seen the kid.Or a child being given up for adoption and no record was kept(or it was lost) as to who the parents were.The end result is again the same.
I have invested alot of time, money, effort and pain in having my children.I would never do anything that I thought for a second would pose a danger to my children in a polygamy relationship or monagamy relationship or being single or whatever. It seems funny to me that it's acceptable to most people to have a threesome in many different combos,same sex realationships, serial polygamy or f*** buddies all for pleasure sex but when it comes to having families polygmay is off limits? Children can be hurt in each one of the circumstances stated. I'm not saying I would absolutly do anything like this.But we have talked about it and considered it from a philosophical point of veiw.The chances of something like this happening is so small I doubt it would ever occur.I do wonder where marriage is going to go in the near future.I can say I don't stay married to my husband because of a stupid piece of paper and a ring.I do it because I choose to.I'm interseted in the success of families.And I'm open to talking about many different ideas on many different subjects whatever they may be.

Made-Up Rules Dubs Try To Impose On Each Other
by calico inthis is in reference to the thread about dubs not having pets.
although, not a rule from the borg there are ones who would say you should not have pets.
can you think of other silly made-up rules that someone tried to impose on you?

Is the poor infant given anything at all for the pain, or do they just do it to him while he wails?
Not usually.They don't like giving newborns a whole lot of drugs.You can request it,although the babies still cry bloody murder.If babies could talk then we would know if it works,but if that was true I'm sure they'd say,"get that freaking knife away from my crotch!" It also depends on what your Dr. thinks and Hospital procedure.
Have you ever heard of some guy's penis getting "infected"? I haven't. God, if you take a shower at least once a month it should keep it from getting "infected."
Your Welcome daniel-p!! LOL! Yes I actually have heard of it a couple times but it was in little boys who were either not being clean enough or the mom was told by her Dr. to force the foreskin back( prematurly) to wash it.I agree,if a guy washes himself it's not a big deal.Sheeesh,think of girl.She's actually got an opening to the inside of her body and they tend to get infections easily no matter how "clean" they try to be.So guy's have it pretty easy,in my humble opinion.
