  Question about maternity leave

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it true that in america there is no paid maternity leave?.

  if so surely that means most people have to return to work pretty quick after they have had a baby?

  if thats true, then surely that means its not possible to breast feed your baby exclusively for any time at all?

  my partner introduced me to a new man and since i met him i have slept with him every night.

  hes very jealous and posessive and doesnt really like me to be out of his sight.

  he has had me hard at it all night long and hes definately a boob man.. my partner has been relegated to changing his nappy and the odd cuddle when hes asleep.. here are some photos:.

  Anyone watched the film 'Sicko'?

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched this film last night, and it made me really really grateful that we have free health care in the uk.

  i know we complain about the state of the nhs, but the bottom line is if there is ever anything wrong with me my first thought will not be 'does my insurance cover this' or 'can i afford this'.. there was one part of the film where michael moore takes some people to cuba to get free health care and one woman picks up inhalers for 5 cents a piece, that are costing her $120 in the us.

  she just breaks down and crys at the disparity of the cost.. it was also telling to see the insurance companies employ people specifically to try and find ways to deny claims or to void policies where a claim has been made.

  Are you a victim of the Sub Prime lending fiasco?

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ive been reading some terrible reports about the american mortgage market, and the subprime mortgages aimed at people with poor credit ratings and poor ability to pay.

  (and of course poor ability to understand complicated and deliberately obscure contracts).. frankly the whole thing is exploitation in the extreme, imo.

  there was one report on the bbc about how poor black areas were targetted, and people were given an introductory offer of 1% and not told that this offer lasted only one month before ballooning to 17 or 18%.

  Rugby World Cup

  well its a week since johnny wilkinson kicked the frogs into touch on their home turf, and i cant wait for the match tonight.. loads of people at work have bet on an england win (not at the bookies, just in the staff sweepstakes!

  ) and i cant help thinking they are voting with their hearts rather than their heads.

  still coming second is no shame, given how stupendously crap we have been recently.. am off for an all you can eat chinese before the match - gonna need some serious fuel for 8pm, and i think every pizza`delivery man in the land is going to be overworked.. anyone else all revved up for the limb fest that is going to be england v south africa?.
