Generally, I assume people have their reasons. But the weird thing is, I don't have to ask nosy questions...people unpack their baggage in front of me all the time. I'm not sure why.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

New risk factor identified for pancreatic cancer
Although advances in oncology have brought therapies to deal with many different cancers, pancreatic cancer remains very difficult to treat. Worse yet, unlike lung cancer and smoking, or cervical cancer and HPV, little has been known about the etiology of the disease. Now a new study has revealed a link between pancreatic cancer and a relatively common infection, one that many people might find surprising: gum disease.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I think there's still a strong cultural bias that contends that Parenthood is the right and natural role of adulthood. That people that don't choose it are selfish or immature or something.
I don't hold to that theory, but I think it's entrenched.
It is definitely very much entrenched. I've been agonizing about it SIMPLY BECAUSE of the cultural norm. I don't even know what I think about it anymore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today is the kind of day where I wish to shout "Have you the BRAIN WORMS?!?" at many many people.
Now I am going to be thinking this at people all day.
It's actually more polite than what I have already been thinking at them, so maybe that's a good thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I still have moments of sadness that I won't be a mom, although I think it was the right choice, and given my DES status and fucked up reproductive system, it may not even have been possible. The DH has never wanted kids, although I didn't find that out until after I made my decision about it. I don't have a lot of regrets about my choice, but for some reason, it meant a lot to me that the DH told me that he thinks I would have been a great mom.

I think you're a cool gal, and there should be more cool gals like you, and that is why you should pass your genes into another cool gal, because your genes are cool, probably. Or something. But you could just as easily pass that coolness along by being you around many people.
As a science person, it sometimes puzzles me why people wouldn't want to pass their genes along to the next generation, but I also know the world is overpopulated. It's nature vs. Nature!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
In Cancer News:
A discussion of cancer always makes me think of the cancer-sniffing dogs and how weird and yet cool that is.
It's actually more polite than what I have already been thinking at them, so maybe that's a good thing.
Believe me, the shouting would be accompanied by a thorough whacking about the head, were I to go that route.
