So, according to you, a woman can never really know if she's ready for a kid? It’s just a matter of waiting for fate to step in, and then she accepts this "gift from above" because she couldn't figure out the timing herself... regardless of what works for everyone involved.

My ex ended up having an abortion, and so what? We were both college students back then. I told her she had the right to decide what she wanted, and whatever she chose, I’d be there for her—emotionally and financially. She decided to go through with it. I paid for the procedure and went to the clinic with her. Anyone who thinks that's an easy choice to make is just being naive.

It wasn't about my ex, though. I didn't even want kids for ten years after that—only now 🙂

Anyway, none of you ladies have answered my question: how many children do you actually have?

nimbledriver81 said:Just ignore him—that link is at least ten times more boring than this. If only he actually understood what’s written there...

You've got a point, 🙂 why isn't it a link from some organic lifestyle site? That would have actually explained everything in favor of fruits and veggies... 😉>

During my first pregnancy, my legs swelled up so much I actually got used to the feeling—it felt like two little sausages were poking out from under my nightgown after the baby was born...

That vein gel from Dr. Theiss is actually quite good
along with those Veneton capsules—if your stomach can handle them, anyway. They’re a bit rough on my system, but then again, almost everything does. Even chamomile tea makes me feel a bit off...

Is that gel any good?🙂 Honestly, most ointments that use horse chestnut or grape seed as a base work fine. My wife has basically become a specialist in these creams by sheer necessity...

She took those capsules back in the day and they were okay, but like you mentioned, they can be hard on the stomach for some people. She complains about it constantly, but honestly, who wants to deal with compression stockings in this heat? I know her pharmacist prescribed them for about 140 days or more, and when she puts them on—which is vital, because if you don't do it first thing in the morning, there's no chance—her legs look like a model's...🙂 My wife has some compression sleeves that are just as effective; she wears them whenever she has a long flight and swears by them. I think those sleeves cost over $67 but she's had them forever and they still look brand new. You just can't wash them with fabric softener, or they lose their elasticity...

Why don't you just change your phone number so you can whine into your own ear instead? Save the rest of us the trouble of reading your comments... ..

Save who? Who is being bothered? Aside from ExxonMobil 😕

Ashley Nguyen5 — I imagine this heat is hitting you pretty hard—maybe try a lukewarm-to-cold shower on your legs before work to get the circulation moving... and whenever you can, keep your feet elevated (ideally higher than your head when you're lying down). If you're looking into alternative remedies—ginger tea helps; just simmer a few slices in a liter of water and sip it throughout the day. It’s what they suggest for pregnant women dealing with swollen feet too. If you can't stand the taste plain, toss in some lemon juice and a spoonful of honey. As for those veins—you can find Omega-3 capsules at most health food stores; a 400-count bottle should last you six months and runs about $33. You'll usually see them labeled as "salmon oil." Salmon oil is one of the richest natural sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, so you could even just take a teaspoon of the pure oil every morning...

That link you’re sharing isn't some independent study—it’s just a landing page for a specific MLM outfit 😁 So, let's call it what it is: you aren't informing us, you're pitching a company. Real shocker there 😁 Sixty little aloe vera gummies for about seventy bucks... yeah, what a deal

I asked you specifically—when is a woman actually emotionally mature enough to become a mother?

It’s when they actually want a kid BEFORE conception happens... otherwise, I might as well ask how many children these pro-life types even have themselves...

nimbledriver81 said:🤔 I’m honestly surprised Hummer didn't suggest a plant-based diet...

😁

They’re going to transfer at least $167 from their accounts to hers every single month—just doing the decent thing... they aren't exactly stingy when it counts

Carl Hernandez2 said:Here’s some weird logic for you:
Everyone needs to be properly disciplined and left on the curb. You all seem to be holding up pretty well.
So why act surprised when some lowlife takes advantage of you? Honestly, I find it hard to swallow the idea that ONLY the mother gets a say in things regarding the Child. There’s just as much DNA from the father in that kid as there is from the mother, which is why—despite what certain people think—men have just as much right to that child as you do.

👎...exactly what rock did you crawl out from under? It’s a lot easier to just dump the seed than it is to carry a baby for nine months and actually give BIRTH, but... whatever, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, how many kids do you actually have? Or are you just a basement theorist? Who is your mother still cooking meals and washing clothes for while you sit here lecturing us on how other women should behave? 😛

Look, I just laid out what I think she should do—just like half of you guys did. And then I get dragged for it. Since when is it against the rules to say what I honestly believe is right?...

1. You don't get to tell anyone else what they "should" do... except maybe yourself.

2. Sure, you can say whatever you want, but it’s just bad form to go lecturing total strangers on what's right or wrong based on your own personal moral compass.

Betty Hill82 said:What are you even talking about?😁

It’s wild how much negativity people throw at someone they’ve probably never even met in person, let alone actually had a conversation with... honestly, feels like someone had way too much caffeine today.😁

If an athlete drinks a Thermojetics tea before working out, they'll preserve their carbohydrates.

Good grief...🙄

Rebecca Grant46 said:It’s probably about Opri—because I’m assuming this other person wasn't supposed to drop 30 pounds...

As for the coffee versus green tea thing—back when I quit smoking, I swapped my coffee for green tea and the effect was pretty much the same. That alertness, the metabolic kick...

Green tea can actually go either way—it can wake you up or help you relax depending on how long you let it steep... maybe 2 to 5 minutes...

Melissa Cruz2 said:It’s because she’s trashing the very product she’s supposed to be promoting. I mean, she isn't exactly required to be honest if she's basically an asset for a corporation...

Oh, come on—if she had just said she looked like that naturally, or if she'd lied about it, then she'd be 1) a liar, 2) full of herself, and 3) just selling you guys smoke and mirrors.

Besides, where in her contract with Revlon did it say she has to lie about her own appearance?

Secondly: someone her height who dropped over 60 pounds in just a few months wouldn't be...

First off, where do you get the right to call people livestock? Look, I don't care about Cindy, but it's easy to tear down someone who can't even defend themselves. She never actually carried an extra 60 pounds, so she didn't have "sagging skin" or whatever... I remember her photos from 15 years ago when I was...😳 well, it doesn't matter what I was doing, but that woman has always looked good. 🙂 Her face, for what it's worth, isn't anything special either. Just average.

Though reading your post, there were moments I couldn't tell if you were talking about Cindy or 😕About Opri...

what a pathetic

topic

😁 At least you're selling American products—though clearly you don't actually know anything about them, otherwise you'd realize it's called a "topic" and understand why... 🙂

jadesailor14 said:>
It’s pretty obvious—it’s sneaky, just like we saw before.
And get this—the weight loss supplement (since that’s how this whole thing started) is being sold by someone who’s carrying at least 30 pounds of extra weight himself.
And I don't mean 30 pounds over some fitness model standard... I mean 30 pounds overweight for a guy his age.

Where am I supposed to find those photos? 😕 Maybe it's just my luck—I don't touch any of those products, yet I still look good and stay fit. ☕

A man like that is just pathetic.

I haven't read those comments—and honestly, it's probably better that way—but a real man would never stoop to making sexist remarks. It just shows how miserable he actually is...

jadesailor14 said:Look, Anthony Rodriguez58, the reason is pretty simple. No matter what topic gets started, James Newman4 ALWAYS ends up pivoting back to selling his miracle healing powder.
She even admitted herself that he doesn't post anywhere else except in the health section—so basically, this forum is just free ad space for him.
As for his moral compass... honestly, it's better not to go there. Our dear James Newman4 has rambled on several other threads about how Herbalife products have this magical, curative power. He actually tried to push it on people—using some pretty nasty remarks—who have sick children in their families. Apparently, there’s a "cure" for permanent healing of illnesses (he makes this distinction, saying it's not a "cure," but a "permanent healing"), but the problem is supposedly us... because we don't want to give it to our kids.
Actually, I don't even feel like writing more about him.
It was slightly amusing, and laughter is good for you, I guess...
Personally, I think he—and all his future clones—should be banned from the forum. His entire presence here boils down to nothing but selling Herbalife. Everything he writes is just a carbon copy of some marketing flyers or brochures; there isn't a single shred of his own opinion or actual experience. An "experience" like "I shove this down my throat and I feel great" doesn't mean anything. Someone else could drink a cup of milk every morning and feel great, but if I drink it for three days, I'm sick.
The only original thing about him is his sexist comments.

There you have it.

James Newman4 said:Thanks for the warm welcome... 👋

ps: You guys are getting old with this whole MacGregor thing—look, it's true we're in the same industry, but still... 🙂

Wait, where did I even bring that up? You’re just as clueless as he is—honestly, whether you two are the same person or not, I really couldn't care less... 😁

Oh, I’m definitely voicing my opinion—I can tell it’s getting under your skin 😁—but I usually try to phrase things so I don't offend anyone or just look like an idiot...

Wow, you’ve really managed to map out this entire forum in the tiny amount of time you've actually spent here 😉. I’ve been around much longer, and honestly, I haven't seen anyone actually running the show. But of course, it's always someone else's fault, isn't it? 😁

Since you seem to be analyzing everything so closely, you probably realized by now that I don't belong to any specific clique or little group—which just means I'm capable of thinking for myself 🙂
.
I mean, seriously, how much courage does it take to state an opinion on some random internet forum?

If I were to say what I'm actually thinking, well... I'd need a level of rudeness that I just don't possess. Anyway, take care 🙂
.
P.S. It’s honestly a miracle you managed to get so worked up over one sarcastic sentence. Most people would have reacted the exact opposite way—maybe you're just low on vitamins and feeling cranky 😁

Just wanted to send a quick shout-out to James Newman4 😁

Man, why don't you try writing something actually worth reading for once?

Oh, please... I'm always interesting to read—people seem to enjoy my posts, and I haven't even managed to get into a real argument with anyone yet 🙂 though apparently, you've tried your best to make that happen, multiple times, in just about 50 posts or so 😁
Could someone just explain what the point of this forum even is? Please... I somehow missed that memo somewhere in the last six months 🙂
