40 million is at most 0.6% of the worlds population

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:07:32

engaging in abortion. To me, that is not very much. When you look at the number 40,000,000 by itself, it seems like an inconceivable number. But when you actually put it in to perspective, that's not very much. That's less than the percentage of condoms that break (2%). That's less than the failure ...

Ion and Pritika (Priti)

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:50:05

Ion is 11, Priti is just over a year old. (Pritika is an Indian name meaning Beloved One) Ion is super sweet, docile and incredibly loyal (to me at least). Priti still has a bit of the kitten about her, but she's a total doll, affectionate and friendly. She is in *LOVE* with Ion, she worships him li...

Ion is the B&W boy. Shortly after I moved to this new place just a few days ago, he began sneezing. He's been sneezing very violently and more often as time progresses. However, he is eating just fine, drinking plenty, his personality energy and mood are ...

I am so ready to set this asshole on FIRE

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 03:22:04

I have this cousin who is beyond a doubt fucking scarily psychotic. From childhood, this guy has been a scary scary person. At age five, he chased my grandmothers cat with a knife trying to kill her, he set fire to his school, in elementary he tried to stab a girl in the playground, he sexually assa...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH BEDBUGS!!!!

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 01:02:59

On top of everything else.... I have BEDBUGS.

eych! Ugh!!!

A few days ago, my sisters boyfriend brought me his memory foam mattress pad. They don't use it anymore, and it's been in their old apartment where a friend has been staying. The past few days I've had these itchy things mostly on my ...

For those who I talk to regularly: I will be checking in to the Hospital

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 21:54:35

I just don't want there to be any concern, I don't know how long I will be in, and I will be incommunicado.

I've spent the last day and a half in bed. I cannot sleep, I cannot feed myself, bathe myself, or even really walk. I can't sit. I am no longer able to cope, so this is the only option lef...

I'm sorry, that doesn't make sense.

If Clinton is demanding the VP slot and will not support him without it, it is she who is dividing the party. Obama has the right, and the OBLIGATION TO HIS VOTERS, to choose a VP that he is comfortable with and that he believes will do the best possible job with him. Period. If he is coerced in to ...

Ok, BEST DANCE EVER

Seriously. I think those shows are mostly dumb, but that was amazing. If you find the first part boring, wait till about 0:40

I just wish they showed more dance and less screeching teenagers....

This thread will be of little interest to most of you. I don't say that to guilt or shame people in to responding, I don't expect or want that. I just honestly know it won't be. Very few people here are close enough to me that this will have any meaning. And that's ok. I just felt compelled to write...

The Batista 'government'

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:45:05

and Batista himself, befriended the Mafia and corporations. This wealth flowed in to their pockets. His opponents, people who organized, were gunned down in the streets (see Antonio Guiteras). This is not a situation for Unions. He suspended the Constitution, and rights to strike. He completely reor...

Indian Wedding - I've never seen anything more beautiful.

I know I shared a few pictures before, but I just got the CD from the photographers. If you're interested, I'd love to share it with you.

There were around a thousand pictures. This is around 50.

Looking at these brought tears to ...

Whenever I read threads like these

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:42:47

I think of my parents, and your story is similar! :)

My father was married, had separated repeatedly and tried to divorce, but his ex wife was threatening him with not letting him see his children and trying to have him labelled insane or something. So, he kept going back. He didn't love her, and...

25th Wedding Anniversary

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:53:31

This year, it's my parents 25th wedding anniversary (yes yes, I'm a child of sin).
I'm planning a surprise party for them. I'd like to share my plans and hear your thoughts :)

The invitations just arrived today, and I'm *thrilled* with them. So is my cat.

I've cried after reading something on DU before. Actually literally cried.
Granted, it was aimed personally at me. But still. Words can hurt you. And discourage you.

I agree with many of the posters that this happens on both sides, etc. Few people are completely innocent.

But, I think it's f...

The Gondoliers - I'm proud

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 00:28:21

I just put up some new pictures from our last Gilbert & Sullivan show, the Gondoliers. It's the second Gondoliers we've built, and despite the set I think it looks just wonderful. I'm very pleased. I'd like to share :)

My very first Indian wedding.

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:48:08

I figure it's easier to write out a post for those who care to refer to, rather than tell the same stuff over and over again :D

I arrived 4 days before the wedding, with my saree, my bangles, my gold shoes and my jewelery, not knowing anything about what was ahead, or how I would even get dressed...

My sister was the most gorgeous bride ever.

Well, maybe not that much better dressed. 'Balls' isn't exactly haute couture.
