"Fam" implies a level of acquaintance that I guess I just don't see when I have seen people use it.

Hmmmmmm. My mom would laugh in my face (and rightfully so, in my opinion) if I ever said that. It just sounds disrespectfully casual in every setting I've heard it used.

Every time I hear someone say fam I want to rip their hair out. I have literally never heard someone use that when speaking to an actual family member.

If you make your own caramel you can make it extra thick. Once it cools it would set, just like the little chewy caramel squares that you buy at the store.

Personality type has a lot to do work eating disorders too. And personal history. People who crave order and purpose in life, who also experience a trauma beyond their control are more likely to develop an eating disorder. It's not an addiction, it's a form of coping or taking control of one's life, usually both.

The name of a cat, as a matter of fact.

I really don't know anything about 5SoS, so I can't speak to any of that personally. If what you say is true then that's pretty crappy of them. I just went on my little One Direction rant because I was blown away after I got dragged to the concert (my daughter is 12, she wasn't going on her own) and realized those guys actually do have some serious talent.
But thank you for your perspective on things, it's always good to have different views on things!

Sorry for the rant, but the comment that 5SoS is nothing but a "boy band" because they tied with One Direction really annoyed me. That statement in particular struck a chord because.... who the fuck cares? Music snobs, to me, are often narrow minded sheep that just can't bring themselves to admit to listening to anything other than their one specific, cooler than yours genre.
Music snobbery will never be cool kids!

As a pretty staunch classic rock, alt rock, and metal fan.... One Direction put on one hell of a show. I saw them on the Civic Tour and was genuinely impressed.
They don't lip sync and those boys have some SERIOUS pipes on them. No joke.
They did a WHOLE lot of research on our area, enough so that they could roll local info into their little breaks when they were talking.
They also dedicated a good 15 minutes to picking out signs people had and actually talking to them and taking pictures with them. And stopped between songs to thank everyone there because they know people work hard for their money and they hoped that they could make it worth it for everyone there, including the parents who got dragged along.
I can't say I'd go all crazy for them, but I took my daughter as a birthday gift and I genuinely left with a great deal of respect for them. If they just faked all that gratitude and humility then they should be acting not singing, because I bought it.

Ooooooooohhh, you might be right! My phone is cracked so it's hard to see but that would make it pretty much my dream kitchen! That one silly faucet makes a big difference.

Ha! I wondered if anyone would get that reference, or if I'd just like a gun toting nut.

What about a situation where a married woman takes multiple precautions against pregnancy but still gets pregnant and carrying to full term would kill both mother and child? Or when a fetus is found to have congenital defects not compatible with life? I was fortunate to not have to experience the former, but it was a risk I was scared of every time I had sex with my husband (which ultimately ended my marriage, as it were). There are times when a baby is absolutely loved, adored, and wanted, but is either going to be fatal for mother and child or they're going to live minutes or hours before dying a horrific death. That, to me, is not the same as someone using abortion as birth control (which I vehemently oppose).

They will whether they should or not. My issue is with the fact that they blatantly ignore all the other services that are provided and harass every person that steps through the doors without acknowledging the public health aspect.

There are always two sides to a given situation, and you'll inevitably run into q few obnoxious jerks who have to be hostile to state an opinion.I've kept fairly quiet here lately for just that reason, but this struck a nerve so I figured I'd throw in my stance. I genuinely respect your statement that you are going to think and analyze before automatically reacting! That takes a very thoughtful and open-minded person.
