darnflamingos got a reaction from mtsparky in Totally frustrated with Ghoul CatchersNo, I never connected it to my Facebook. I don't want to bother my friends with my silly addictions - lols.
But it is leaving me totally frustrated that the account I made in the app doesn't work either. There is really a problem with this app, and I can't imagine why they can't fix it since a lot of people seem to be experiencing the same problem. It's just not good business.

darnflamingos got a reaction from Mouseykins in Abortion.In my country abortion is completely legal. I think that is a really good thing. I don't think women should be forced to carry a baby to term they don't want.
There are a lot of ways to prevent becoming pregnant and I think this is the most important thing. If you are having sex, you should be responsible. Be safe, use birth control if you don't want to become pregnant. But birth control is not perfect.
I am a mother of three lovely girls and was not planning on having any more babies. This for practical and financial reasons. I recently had taken a pregnancy test because I 'felt' pregnant. It was positive. I went to the doctor and the first thing he asked what I wanted to do. Did I want to keep the baby or have an abortion. If I wanted to keep the baby, they had to remove my iud (yes, I am on birth control), which would mean there was a bit higher chance for a miscarriage than with a regular pregnancy. Anyway, when the doctor did my echo, I didn't turn out to be pregnant at all. The test gave a false positive.
I had already spoken with my husband about it and we both agreed that not being planned was for us not a reason not to keep the baby. We had already started testing how it would work to have the three kids in the same room to make space for the new baby.
But it was great coming to the doctor and having all the options available to you. And no one being judgmental about it.
I, for myself, can not imagine having an abortion, but I can understand that women do make that choice. Having a child is a lot of work, and costs a lot of money as well. And you can do so many things horribly wrong. Not being wanted can have a devastating impact on a child. Not everyone is fit to have children, in some situations the responsible thing to do can be not having the child.
Pregnant women that make this choice usually do not make it lightly. It is not an easy choice no matter what age you are or what your background is. I think there is a very small percentage of women that use this as a means of birth control. Yes, there are a lot of people that don't think things through, forget their birth control or don't use any at all, but consciously using abortion as a means of birth control? I don't think so.
I think the choice is for every women herself to make, I am glad that in my country you are able to do so.

darnflamingos got a reaction from Dawn* in What is your favorite fast food restaurant of the above?I voted for Chinese food, but I don't necessarily consider that fast-food. It's also very general, like saying European food, so I'm not sure it belongs in the list.
But I really love it, so I had to pick it.
