jtval 0 #53 August 3, 2007 Quote Quote Disgusting. If you really want that many kids for the sake of having that many kids, fucking adopt! Why? Who are we to say if it's right or wrong for THEM? 's Advocate> If they were on welfare and "taxing the system" I would be all over it. But it seems they can afford to raise that many kids so why should anyone be angry?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weddings...well, there's courthouse weddings, backyard weddings, families will cater for each other, brides can make their own dresses, etc. Not for me, but it's doable, I suppose. College...either they get scholarships, student loans (I'm sure they qualify for Pell Grants) or they just don't go and do a trade.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveStMarys 0 #61 August 3, 2007 I guess the biggest issue that I have after reading this story is what she is doing to her body. I'm sorry but being pregnant that many times that often? It just can't be good. But then again it is her body not mine. I leave it at that. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Bobbi What she's doing to her body is a helluva lot more natural than what many other women do by taken artificial birth control (with their known links to breast cancer, etc), and abortions, etc. But like you said it's HER body, not yours... So just leave it at that. My wife's grandmother had 12 kids. She just turned 90. She had a prolapsed uterus, but they just sewed the thing back up in there. She's perfectly happy and a wonderful woman. 12 kids, 55 grandkids, 70+ greatgrandkids and it goes up every month. Not one is any kind of addict. Not one divorce in the family. No one ever in jail. All of age have gone to college or trade school. That's what happens in families like these. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micro 0 #67 August 4, 2007 Quote A prolapsed uterous sounds painfull... Is that like getting a hangnail? I dunno... but I thought it was kinda funny... the way I heard it she was taking a pee and *PLOP* out came the uterus. I could see her yelling for her husband, "CLETUS, MY UTERUS FELL OUT AGAIN!", then trying to stuff it back in or putting it in a plastic bag or something while they went to the hospital. The whole thing just seemed a little comical to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the woman to death. She's a living saint. I don't mean to make fun of her. She has a great sense of humor and sees the rediculousness of one of her own organs falling out as well. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
