  So how far up is the cervix? When you have sex can a guy penetrate the cervix and get up into the uterus? I'm only asking b/c my Dr. was talking about IUI if if 6 more months we are unsuccessful in TTC. I always hear people talk about the "tukey baster" method, and wondered if people actually do that.

  My FFFC:
  
  Last September DH and I bought our first home. When the holidays rolled around, we were so excited to buy/decorate our first Christmas tree.
  
  Well... it is still standing, and decorated.
  
  DH didn't feel like taking it down so he moved it to a guest room. Then before his family came to visit last weekend he moved it to the basement.
  
  There is no point in taking it apart now..
  
  

  Sweet! My Mom and I did the same many years ago because ours was put up by my ex boyfriend who was like 6'5". It was an 8ft tall tree and we broke up shortly after the holidays. We left it up and since we're both short (under 5'3") and were too lazy to get a ladder.  :-/

  @NotElsie - the only reason we take our tree down is because there's no place to store it while it's still up.  My mom throws a sheet over hers and puts in the storage room (which used to be my bedroom).

  My FFFC is that I skipped the gym today to catch up on my TV time (we're changing out boxes next week).  One of my favorite shows caused me to start ugly crying before the opening credits and I haven't really been able to stop since.  Turns out that the episode is a two-parter, and they already showed some of what is going to happen next time, and I have to wait until next week to see the conclusion.

  I have not gotten this wrapped up into a TV show since the Grey's Anatomy 'shooter' a few years ago.

  P.S. My dog has been staring at me the entire time and I think he's judging me.  IDGAF.

  Rookie Blue.  It's a cop show out of Canada that airs on ABC Thursday nights.  It has some of my favorite actors/actresses in it and I'm surprised it took until season 4 for me to get hooked on it.  Reviewers say it's akin to the 'cop version of Grey's'. 

  I assumed no one would know the show so I left it out.  It's amazing though.  And Gregory Smith is legit on my list.  I've loved him since 'Harriet the Spy'. 

  @beckynsean11 - That is totally my dog right now.  He's given up staring and now is curled up like a cat.  Every 10 minutes or so he grumbles loudly. 

  I've wanted to watch that show, but I have to start from the beginning somehow.

  Mine - the phrase "Love you to the moon and back" shared from one adult to another makes me have crazy eye roll. That is a cute and adorable saying as a parent to a young child. It's from a freaking children's book for goodness sake. My mother put that shit on FB one time and I was half tempted to delete the damn post. Never in my life did she use that phrase until recently. I see husbands and wives say that shit on Facebook and I makes me crazy. (Don't get me going on couples to publicly write love notes on social media - major pet peeve)

  I usually eye-roll mushy love sentiments on FB, but then I remember how starved I was for affection from my ex husband, who couldn't even sign 'Love Asshole' on my shitty birthday cards.

  I came home last night and S/O had cleaned the house, done the dishes and was making dinner. This had to be made public.

  So I wrote something endearing about it on Facebook and even put a "<3" in there.

  The mushiest fb guy I know was also a raging cheater - posting loveydovey kissing-in-bed selfies with his gf and sleeping with multiple girls on the side. I think fb PDAs are so weird. If you love your partner, tell them. If you need everyone else to know you guys love each other, it's time for a bit of self reflection on why you're so insecure about what people think about your relationship.

  This is my assumption too.  I feel like people who post mushy stuff on FB constantly are just trying to prove something or convince themselves that they are happy.  Like "Hey everyone, look how happy I am and how much I love my SO.  No really...we love each other."

  Dang I missed a lot...

  
  

  I was a social statistics major and a criminology minor. It sucked being in classes with some of the future police officers because they openly talked about how there is no excuse for crime. And didn't that just give me warm fuzzies thinking about them holding guns and authority. I grew up in a shitty part of town, and yes, there are reasons for crime. Some kids parents told them that they shouldn't care what authority figures tell them, because they were liars. All kids want to believe that their parents would never lie to them. If your parent told you (when they were around) that crime was the only way to take care of yourself, then that's what you probably believed. And your actions followed.

  
  

  I'll just say, we moved out of the Ohio version of a ghetto one day (so i'm sure it's worse elsewhere) but I still remember there were times when people stole from me and I was pissed, but I was empathetic enough even as a kid to see, that that other kid needed my lunch more than I did. I would let certain kids pick on me because I knew they had to, to not get beat up by their own friends. Truthfully, I was white so I was allowed to show fear. Others weren't. I was scared the whole fucking time, but I'm glad that's the life I had until my mom could do better for us. Glad I'm not ignorant enough to see that I'm now privileged. No one paid for my college, but someone encouraged me to go, that's fucking privileged.

  
  

  I have 6 bras and I wash them every week because I thought I should. Now I'm wondering how many loads of delicate laundry I washed for no reason.

  
  

  To the ladies who shared their stories of someone taking advantage, congrats on your courage to share. I'm so sorry these things happened to you, but I hope sharing found you some healing.

  Talking about criminals, I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for any convicted criminal.  I think we waste entirely too much of our tax dollars on housing inmates.  Why the hell would some of those people NOT WANT to go back to prison?  We give them free cable tv, hot meals every day, a bed to sleep in, exercise equipment, education, jobs, a lot more than some of them could ever manage on their own as a law abiding citizen.  I say we go to no A/C, no TV, no working out equipment, no education.  Make them REALLY SUFFER so they don't want to come back!!!  Why is that so hard for people to understand?  Let's get some chain gangs going to clean up all of our litter at least. 
  
  And for those who have committed especially heinous crimes, murder, rape, child abuse, and there is super hard evidence and no question they committed the crime, just kill them immediately.  Why continue to waste tax payers money on those worthless pieces of human garbage any longer than necessary?
  
  I also don't buy the whole argument that people raised in poverty have no choice than to resort to criminal acts to get by in life.  That is bullshit.  Anyone that really truly wants a better life for themselves will find a way to make it happen.  Period. 
  

  
  

  
  

  I know I'm way late to the party, AND I'm BWI, but I'd like to jump in on this one.  I teach GED in a halfway house.  The guys there pay for everything.  It costs $1100 to room and board these guys.  They share a room with 4 people.  They are not allowed to shower daily.  If they can't get a job, the amount they owe just continues to add up.  Some of the guys complain constantly about having to pay for the nasty food and uncomfortable beds- and I tell them that they should remember how much they hate it when they finally get out.  The only things that are provided are a mattress and pillow, which are akin to exercise mats.  Everything else is provided by family members.  

  The GED program is run entirely by grants and private donations.  Education and helping them get jobs is the most important thing we can do for criminals in order to help them transition back into the community.  If you do not give them the skills to become good, productive members of society, they will just resort to doing what they already know- which is what got them in to prison in the first place.  What some also fail to realize is that suffering leads to anger, which is a huge trigger for many of their crimes.  If you piss them off enough, they become destructive to themselves, their families, and the community.  They will just become a repeat offender.

  75% of the residents are there on drug felonies.  The rest are domestic violence, theft, and sex offence.  Some of those sex offenders are only labeled as such for being 19 and having a 16 year old girl friend.  A disproportional amount of our clients have mental illness.  Our clients are required to give back to the community through volunteer work; services which, if not done by volunteering, would come out of tax payer pockets.

  The clients who do not believe that they have done something wrong are the only clients I worry about re-entering the community.  I have a client who does not believe having sex with his young daughter was wrong because she "finished."  He is being paroled next month after 25 years.  He clearly needs more help before anyone should consider letting him rejoin society.  Regardless of whether he is a GOOD human being, he is STILL a human being and should be treated with at LEAST minimal respect.  

  To sum up: Your tax dollars do not have as much affect on the corrections program as you think.  Just because someone has committed a crime does not by default make them a terrible person.  I am intoxicated, so I don't know if all this is coherent or cohesive.

  There was 40 minutes of foreplay involved, so everything was naturally lubed up and softened in there. He just slid up beside it. It felt like DH was just bigger than usual. He said he didn't even notice.
  
  Also, I typed goreplay instead of foreplay on accident. I laughed because it was totally appropriate, but ended up changing it back because it grossed me out.
