Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! :)

Lol thanks - you want one?

If you would like to see Michael, you can watch this video that I made for him when he was two... -> I was raised to disagree with abortion as violently as you, but when real life comes up and smacks you in the head, that's just how it goes...

Now that I know how you feel about me, let me see if I can change your mind. I had my son at the age of 19. I am now 24. I was told when I had Michael, that if I had any more children, it would very likely kill me and the baby both, based on how hard a time I had keeping Michael inside me until he was big enough to breath on his own. I was on enforced bed rest from 5 months onward, I received steroid treatments in both of my thighs to boost Michael's lung development, and I still had him a month early. I got very lucky - he was 5 lbs and 2 ounces at birth, just 2 ounces over the minimum to not be put in an incubator. Michael's weak lungs left him susceptible to rheumatic fever, which he picked up at 13 months old. Now, every year like clockwork, Michael picks up bronchitis at least 3 times each winter, and if he is not monitored very closely during that time period, he stops breathing in his sleep, when he might have had no symptoms even 2 hours prior. And how was I affected by that pregnancy? My monthlies now come hard and fast, and leave me very weak. I lose about a pint of blood a day, I am incredibly prone to ovarian cysts, and I have not been able to reverse the anemia I developed during my pregnancy with Michael, even in four years. When I was 23, I got pregnant because someone who I thought was a friend took advantage of my depression during my custody case for Michael. He got me drunk, waited till I passed out, and when I woke up, he was just finishing up. (I doubt any other details are necessary.) Three weeks later, I was throwing my guts up, with incredibly horribly intense cramping. Half-sure but not wanting to overlook anything, I had Michael's father drive me to the ER, where they told me I was pregnant. Two weeks later, I aborted. Setting my health issues aside for a moment, lets step over to the aforementioned custody case. CPS was involved, and had removed Michael from both me and the person who was fighting me, because he had assaulted me during a custody exchange. What would have happened if I had the baby, only to have CPS take not only the newborn, but decide to keep Michael in the system and terminate my rights? I did what I had to do, to make sure my son continued to have a mother who could be around him to take care of him, and for myself, to make sure that I stayed healthy. If this was too much information for you, I'm sorry, but even though I once thought I could never terminate a pregnancy, I know for certain now that if something happens again, I will do it again, for Michael's sake above my own. (This does not mean I do not take precautions, obviously. I still had to be on 24 hour medical watch with my anemia, after the termination.) I have a beautiful, wonderful, sweet child who was not spoiled by the trauma and drama that surrounded him for the first 3 and a half years of his short little life, and I'm very grateful for him. I won't take myself out of his life because of someone else's morals, or even my own, for that matter. It's a woman's choice, yes. There are better options for people who just want to keep partying, yes. But abortion is not necessarily evil, wrong, or immoral.

It really was... :dry:

The lights do come on, but I'm not driving to the WalMart at 22:52 to try to look at belts and whatnot :P

But my total play time on my first server was less than an hour :huh:

Here's mine -> http://lilbobbin.deviantart.com/

Aww its my second, does that count?

Welcome :)

I had not realised this is a PK server, lols... I hope I get left alone... :weird: Welcome!

My car won't start. And I know that this is about as far off-RO-topic as it gets, but the battery tested good, and none of the fuses are blown. Does anyone have any idea what else could be wrong, and about how much I might be looking at to get it fixed?
