Meryl Streep movie, she could save only one child from the Nazis (or they’d have killed both, the cruelty was the point) and the guilt and trauma stays with her throughout her life.

I was implying that if your mom had to give up one twin for adoption it might still be a painful thing she doesn’t want to talk about.

Your mom said the doctor told her the ultrasound showed “two babies” but I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and they looked at the tiny embryonic speck and said, “there’s the baby!” In fact no babies are shown in ultrasounds, only fetuses. But my point was, they may have seen one 7-month fetus and one little shriveled thing and said “there’s two babies.”

I guess it’s also possible she brought two babies to term, made a “Sophie’s Choice” to give one up for adoption, and didn’t want you to be heartbroken or afraid of being given away too. And since other people had heard about her being pregnant with twins, she gave you a story you could accept as a child.

And another possibility is that the doctor gave her anesthesia or rohypnol or something and took the twin to put up for adoption, telling her it was absorbed. She’d know she had given birth but not remember it was twice. It’s terrible but not unheard of.

You could ask her, if you feel you’re both adult enough now to handle the emotional implications of all the possible explanations. Remember that you can still trust her love no matter what, but she might not know the whole truth and/or might be ashamed to admit it.

“Quick! Book us some college and girl’s teams, we’ll put on a clinic!”

(That would actually be a really nice thing)

You are 3x correct, dingdingding! Go have a treat.

He was just exercising his Second Amendment rights! And apparently the right to bear fuel as well. Maybe he just wanted to talk with his hero about the pizzagate evidence he’s sure must be in those files someplace. I’m pretty sure we only have the officers’ word he brandished the gun.

Jack didn’t die on the Titanic

She was a woman by the time she was able to report it, but it’s very poorly worded.

You’re gonna look amazing!

Not to mention he himself said nothing can cause him to lose his support, not even if he killed someone in the middle of 5th Avenue. Are we not to believe him?

I’m suddenly noticing he felt the need to qualify “shoot someone” with “on 5th Avenue.” As if he’d already killed someone in secret…

Be the style you’d like to see 🎩

Probably healthier for both of them, really

For your carrot problem, get the really fat bulk carrots, which (at my grocery store anyway) are not woody and very tasty. Peel it as usual, noticing you only have to peel one or two. You’re now perfectly set for your first cucumber solution, cutting it in half lengthwise, or maybe even quarters because carrots are a firmer bite. Personally I start cutting off the fat end and work towards the tip, because you have more to grip for better control on the harder slices, and if your last ones are a little thicker they’re also small.

Okay wait, listen to yourself. You expected Obama to give a reasonable answer, and of course he did. Gosh, wasn’t that nice? You might agree or disagree with his choices and priorities, but even his worst policies had SOME sort of reason behind them. And were stated in complete grammatical sentences that stayed in topic.

They should be in jail, they’re a threat to the community.

White people willing and able to do construction work in Texas cost more, if they can be found at all.

Unfair to Linus, who is a kind and caring individual. For instance young Snoopy often stole his blanket and he never shot the puppy.

I’m not sure about the “good”

That’s not the flex you think it is, dude
