    Protocol417 got a reaction from decocker in Explosive O'Reilly Segment: President Obama & the Race Problem   
    Actually, I kind of like that. Has a nice ring to it.
    We could call murders "illegal executioners", and thieves "illegal repo men".
    Could be a great improvement to the language, if you think about it.

    Protocol417 reacted to Harpa Timsah in Miscarriage   
    I don't know if it will help but most miscarriages happen because something is wrong with the fetus and it's nature's way of sparing it pain. You did nothing wrong, they are common, and lie the doctor said, you are young and nothing is wrong with your body. Good luck going forward, and my condolences for your loss.

    Protocol417 reacted to Calypso in Miscarriage   
    I hadn't known how common spontaneous abortions are until the second week of January. It has been exactly four weeks after my first pregnancy ended. I know this is TMI but I'm writing this time as a way of teaching myself to talk about my miscarriage without feeling extremely dejected. My husband told his family first. Both our families were aware of my pregnancy. His mom's immediate response was, "Why? Did she fall?" Then I called my mother in the Philippines and her reaction was not any better. "It would have been so nice to have that baby. I thought you were eating well like you mentioned." At least my MIL got her act together a few moments later unlike my mother.
    My husband and I were waiting for the end of January to hit the 12-week mark before we would announce to friends. The staff of my dentist and orthodontist (I refused to have my annual dental X-ray) and my husband's officemates knew that I was pregnant. When we revealed to them that we lost our baby, they were very understanding and compassionate. There were no judgments or moronic questions. Most of all, I was so surprised that almost all of them experienced a miscarriage firsthand.
    The worst thing about a miscarriage is remembering that our baby is now buried in the cold earth instead of being cradled in the warmth of my husband and my own arms starting in summer 2013. I was imagining everyday with a baby's laughter and picking costumes for holidays, thinking of years when the baby grows into adulthood and further, a part of so much more happiness for me and my husband. Now even my imagination is gone.
    One week after my miscarriage, a close friend told me she'd be having a baby in September. Another week later, I toasted for a friend who would be giving birth in July. My due date was on August 7. Everybody says that 1 out of 5 pregnancies end in a miscarriage. Who knew I'd be counted?
    When we had an early ulrasound at 8 weeks, the baby's heart seemed healthy at 162 beats per minute. When my husband brought me to the ER at 10 weeks, there was no more heartbeat. The baby measured 8 weeks and 3 days. The ER physician said I was having an incomplete miscarriage. He prescribed me codeine and asked me to go home and rest. The medication didn't help with the pain and it only made me sleepy. I have recovered physically quite fast since then because I was only at 10 weeks when it happened the natural way. I had another follow-up appointment and medical testing with an ob-gyn and she said the same thing that two other physicians have stated, that I'm only 25 and a very healthy person and my loss happened only by chance and won't likely occur again. It's just nature's way, said they.
    Well, I'm just very grateful that my husband is always by my side. He took as many days as he could to work from home and gave me extra care. My prayer is for all couples to find such strong and pure relationship, whether you want to have kids or not; for parents to really love your children of any age; and for those who want to be parents, may we finally create that experience.

    little taste? do you think i was born yesterday? i don't know what dead beat dads and ####### size has to do with my opinions regarding amnesty, however..i've known for quite some time what it feels like to pay my tab and to be in the position to pull the weight of others. not too shabby a position to be in. i'd rather be in the position to pay than be on my knees begging.
    another thing i chose - not to look down on people who need help. to not judge others, particularly those who have been less fortunate than myself in life. it's my rule to give when possible..and there have certainly been people in my life who have taken advantage of that. as long as i'm good with my conscience and my son can still look up to me - that's all that matters.
    i hope you feel like you've taught me my lesson, champ.

    it was a joke bro. i actually don't think there's too much truth to the whole black is bigger, like all stereotypes sometimes it's true and sometimes it isn't.
    as far as the second stereotype that you've thrown into the mix - my son's father is white and i take care of the tab for me, for my son and way back when we were married, i found myself paying his tab too. black men don't hold the market on deadbeat. go fish.

    That would have more to do with the fact that you are a soldier, than you being black. After WW2 many Japanese women of a certain ilk chased after American soldiers as they could buy them things that a Japanese male could not at that time.

    Don't be sensitive. I didn't say you were stupid. This is my honest answer to your honest question. You can't start the process unless she's free to marry that is it.

    Relax... its the internet!
    What was trying to be said is that until the annulment is finalized you can't even file the petition (I-129F), both people must be free to marry at the time of filing the petition. So until the annulment is completed and you get the finalized documents... you can't start the petition process.
    And as you read on the USCIS website there isn't much cause for an expedite from your "list".
    Read the GUIDE at the top of this page, lots of good information there.

    So it's ok to be racist as long as it operates within the law? Gotcha.
    Remember when you asked me to post things defending non color? I did, still waiting on your post.

    A rose by any other name Val. Many of the Chinese were not paid. Only fed. And they were sold into labor by Chinese slum lords or "importers" who controlled them until their death. It's not a competition Val, its all horrible.

    The greed has gotten out of control. You hear "how can we make money?" I wonder, "Why did you build your business model on f*ing your employees?" As a corporation with a hiring standard of part time only, you are telling the American people, well we'll kinda feed this person but you're on the hook for all of their healthcare. And people agree with them....... F***ers.
