Sorry man, if only our parents were good people just because they gave birth to us. Sadly that's not the case. You've put up with a lot, and often a person in your situation ends up as a codependent. You have better things to take care of like yourself, your wife, and that little girl. Sometimes you have to let go. Sorry you've been through so much and got so little in return.

For those Genuinely Concerned about Press Freedom
by Simon inour illustrious leader, justin trudeau, has just announced a half a $billion fund that will be given out to "trustworthy" news sources.. of course this will have nothing todo with the fact that there will be a federal election next year and there are plenty of bad things to highlight in the liberals record.
they will obviously dole the money out in a totally impartial manner, even handing funding to reporters that are critical of them and trudeau.
"trustworthy" news sources won't just be a euphemism for "writes positive stories about me, avoids negative ones".

Wow, that is blatant and awful. Is there to be any transparency as to where the money goes?

Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?
by Simon ini like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.
can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?
i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

Mine is my wife and I about 10 months after disassociating, sitting in a car full of birthday balloons. We were in front of the place we rented to throw her a big first birthday party, about to go in and decorate. We were also waiting for the person with a key to come unlock the place so we took a pic or three while waiting. We had a great time, most importantly she had a great time, and we had about 70 people show up. -

Don't you all pay more on taxes to cover this "free" NHS system? Otherwise how would it be free?

Asylum Caravan
by dubstepped inalright, so what is the deal with the thousands coming to the states right at election time seeking asylum?
i'm not up on this, usually try not to be, but how can this not be manipulative?
it's either manipulative in the size of the group and pressure that creates, or in where it started or who started this, etc.

Yep, the people of Tijuana aren't happy to have this drain on their local system. I saw an article too. It talked about how they're fleeing violence about at the same rate of Detroit or another major city (can't remember) and how this is clearly simply an economic driver for them.
I also saw quotes in another article where some are talking of hopping the fence en masse and overwhelming the border patrols. That sounds kind of invade-y to me. One guy jumped it and then went back to show he could. Sounds kind of entitled to me. The whole thing just seems odd.

For those who are athest, or non-christian, how did you come to this decision?
by Tameria2001 ini'm not asking this question to cause an argument or accuse, but i am honestly just wondering?
for those of you who are now atheist or non-christian, how did you come to this decision?
i hadn't given this much thought until about a year ago.

Oh, I think I misunderstood. My bad. I've seen lots of questions on Facebook about how to watch and thought maybe you though Barbara was helping on that. Lots of confusion put there among some on how to watch.
