  I forgot you were in a nanny share... I know it's not a big deal but it would be awesome for you to work your preferred hours.

  Not sure if this is a UO... But I feel I did the right thing:
  
  Elementary student is in the high achievement classes (very smart) but socially is slightly awkward. S hands me a note one day. The note had a picture of TNT and it said "boom you die". I reported S, wrote a referral and parents were contacted. Some teacher(s) thought I took it too far bc S was giving that same note to other teachers as a "joke." Uhm. No. Not a good joke. To this day I stand by my decision to write up a straight A student.

  I'm in Canada, so this is a little different, but still steams me off.

  If you're under 25, you can go to a public health nurse and get FREE birth control - condoms, pill, whichever contraceptive you like.

  If you're over 25, and don't have a family doctor, you're hooped.  You have to go to a drop-in clinic to get a prescription.

  After I had Amanda, my midwife was PISSED that I had no options to get BC because I didn't have a family doctor, and wasn't young enough to qualify to get BC from a nurse as opposed to a doctor. Cue sitting in a doctor's office for three hours with two kids in order to get some pills...

  Reading that and then looking at your tickers in your siggy made me lol.
  Maybe not something I should laugh at.....
  I think it's odd that there's an age cut off. Women still need stuff after 25. Are they assuming that by 25 you'll have your ducks in a row and have a doctor?
  

  I think that's part of the reasoning.  Part of it is because women 18-25 are in the mode of their life where they need access to birth control the most?  University/young free lifestyles.... being able to go to a nurse and get BC instead of having to make an apt with a doctor or wait for hours for one makes it more likely for someone to use it.

  I think that maybe, yeah... by 25 you should have your shit in gear and be able to sort it out yourself.  Or maybe be a little more educated about it?

  And it makes me laugh, too.  I got the low-dose BC pill for when I was nursing, but after I made the switch to formula at 6mo, I just didn't bother to go back.  We had condoms, but DH hates them, so we didn't use them that much.  So we're basically irresponsible teenaged idiots that happen to be in our 30s, married, and with two kids already.

  I don't care how long your outdoor animals lived growing up. Cats kill a ton of animals that shouldn't be killed every year.

  My UO: I think that health insurance should cover BC. When I was 14 I was diagnosed with PCOS and have taken it most half my life now to keep symptoms at bay, when I went to work for a hospital I couldn't work at the Catholic ones because they would not pay for it. But if BC is covered for women, why not cover condoms for men too? I understand it is not medication, but what about preventing the spread of disease?

  I hate the bitter cold and snow. But I probably wouldn't survive in Arizona/Florida either. I also don't think I could handle Tornado alley. I'm screwed.

  My UO that condoms could prevent both pregnancy and the spread of disease but are not covered by health insurance makes no sense? Or me referring to @juliedave151‌ as precious for chiming in all of the time but never coming up with an original post does?

  I think the heat stinks. Okay I'm from NE. I can dig my car outta a snow bank or drive right through it. I can plow and shovel a driveway at rapid speed. Give me 90 degrees and I'm a complaining 2yr old. All you in warm climates, you're brave soldiers.. I will take the snow.

  The heat is brutal and depressing. If you want to be outside you have to get up around 430 and you still sweat your butt off. I told DH I'm giving it 5 more years then we are out of here. I can't handle it anymore. But I have never lived in snow so I'm not sure how I will handle that.

  So I have lived in Phx for 30 years.  I thought cold...how bad could it be.  I lived 2 years in Ohio.  Awful driving in the snow.  i would freak out just thinking that I had to drive with any amount of snow. (they did not salt the roads since it is southern OH).  Then we moved to Chicago.  OMFG 70 inches of snow a year.  Driving in it not bad.  They plow very well.  But getting out to do anything in the cold.  Hell no.  We moved back to Phx asap. It took 3 years.  I will take the heat any day after Chicago.  You can't do anything for 6 months.  Yes it is hot here but at least you can go places and still do things.  There is AC, mostly everywhere.
