In a hospital full of patients suffering from lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema caused by smoking

Sure, let's see the stats on that one.

I'd like to start my weekend early.

Shall we what?

No one will be punching anyone up in here.

I think that 'Men must be the breadwinner' mentality is flawed. I'm the breadwinner between my husband and myself and we've never had any 'I'm in charge because I make more' fights.

What you're doing is that you're assuming that would be the case without you even experiencing it.

Shall we continue to ask questions when there will be no answer? Isn't that unfulfilling?

If you want to smoke, smoke; just don't kill me in the process.

Aren't all these unanswered questions annoying?

My mother can testify to not knowing she was pregnant until she was about 4 months along and that was only because HER mother said something. She gained zero weight and had no regular 'signs' of pregnancy. The doctor told her she couldn't even GET pregnant so they took no precautions and wasn't even LOOKING to be pregnant.

She continued her monthly flow without change. 5 months later my brother was born.

Loveth! Lovely Loveth! My sweet, sweet sister! How are you, dear?

This doesn't really make sense. you can apply the same logic to call murder both a right and a crime.

Yes, that's exactly right. We are given free will so if one may choose to murder someone. That's not to say that there won't be consequences for ones actions but one does have the right, law or not.

nferyn: Exactly, but then it depends on what your beliefs are based on. Are they based on hard facts and evidence or are they based on emotion. I do not disqualify emotions in this, but they cannot be the basis for policy, but rather for what you personally [/i]are going to do.

What you [i]personally choose to do will be based on what you believe. It truly doesn't matter what your beliefs are based on; may it be fact, fiction, emotions, or aliens your actions 'signify' your belief.

I miss Whiteshark, Lizzy, Nike, Wesley, KC, and Scorpio.

Exu, my thoughts exactly. I had not heard of this until a few days ago.

Seun, thanks for the info. I'm going to pass it along to several of the Sierra Leonian groups I know of in this area. Maybe a fundraiser can be done to send the needed funds back home.

Mamba,

That may not be necessarily true. There are women who still go through their menstrual cycle even after becoming pregnant. There are also some women who do not have what one would deem a regular cycle. They may skip months at a time without being pregnant. All of these things must be thought of when one hears such stories. We are not all cut from the exact same cookie mold.

One more thing:

When it comes to who's beautiful, I must admit that you all are beautiful to me. It's not just the pictures but the words that you all write. The personality that shines right through this flat screen that make me come back for more. It's the way I see you all relate to one another, how you all make this place a home.

I'm grateful to know you all, I am thankful to have found this site, and I pray that you all be elevated to heights beyond anything you could ever think or imagine.

On that note, I'm going to bed.

Oh my. You all have no idea how what this means to me! I had a hard day at work, a hard night of class, and I come home to to see what's happening and I read all of these nice things you all are saying about me. I can't tell you how much I'm smiling right now. You ladies are sticking up for me? Wow.

You all are so wonderful, intelligent, funny, and admirable. I really don't care who takes the crown as Miss Nairaland but to me it belongs to all of you here. You all are just to amazing for words.

nferyn:

You disappoint me with this reply This is just sloppy reasoning

When you think of it: Yes, according to laws and since it is your body it's your right to do as you please with it.

Then, when thinking of abortion in certain stages, by law it's considered a crime. When push comes to shove you'll make the final decision to do as you wish; thereby giving you the right to commit a crime.

I think it's more simple in reasoning then sloppy.

After reading all of these posts it really just comes down to what you believe and how you act upon that belief.

Have any questions been answered yet?

why?

I think I'm missing some sleep. . . . I must go and find it.

Older Michelin is beautiful!

Aww!  Little Michelin is so cute!

KC, thanks for the hug!

Alright, Lizzy, I'll be here gurl!

KC, HI!  It's been sooooo long!

No, not controversial but informative

The fact of the matter is that there are things that occur that we simply have no explination for. Just because we can't fathom the thought does not mean it can't happen.

Speaking for myself, I personally know my co-worker and believe her. I don't see why one would feel the need to lie of such things.

michelin, yes!

Have mercy.

Lizzy, get back here!  I missed you yesterday, it's not happening today.

It's true, you can both agree to it but not really know what you're really getting into.

Oh man. What has he gotten himself into! 2 women? This na wa!

I miss Fabian something awful. Where is that woman?

I also miss adesodgi-wan
