Octuplets Frenzy

Nadya Suleman
Mother of the second set of Octuplets to be born in the U.S.
She's going through a lot right now and so many people have something to say about her situation. Regardless of how it happened, these babies are here now.
All eight babies:
Noah, Maliah, Isaiah, Nariah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah and Jonah

 These babies are the world's second set of Octuplets to be born alive. They are also the only set of Octuplets that has had all babies survive this long. Everything else aside, that's amazing to me. I hope they all make it.
I don't think that what this woman needs right now is the entire world telling her how stupid she is or people sending her death threats. This is a crucial time in these baby's lives and she is probably worried about them all making it. Especially since multiple births have an increased risk of death.

    Definitely. I think they are so lovely. I don't see how people have the capacity for so much hate. Isn't there enough of that on a daily basis without taking something as wonderful as motherhood and trying to destroy it?

    I too wish all the best to these babies and this family.

    Thanks for commenting Ms. Bar B!
    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    I have mixed feelings about the story.. I could really understand her wanting children and doing the fetility treatments if she had none but had 7 already. I understand wanting a large family because I absolutely love the Duggars not a fan of Jon and Kate 8, but I think wisdom has to prevail over selfishness and want. Tax payers should not be burdened. And the hate mail she has received is totally unacceptable. And people calling her "Octpussy" which I did laugh at first but felt shamed.

    The way this pregnancy came about I am NOT cool with. I think both she and the doctor were irresponsible and I know what you mean about the taxes. Like you, I just don't agree with the anger that has people talking so badly about her and sending death threats.

    I feel the same way about the Duggars. It's funny because I really don't like Jon and Kate myself. I wonder where the money would come from to support her children if she didn't score a TV show. Jon's working part time from home now and who can support 8 children on a part time income.

Valentine's Day - 5 Gift Ideas for Him

Hey ladies, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and while it's supposed to be a day of love, a lot of times it ends up being all about us. This is the one holiday that can seem a bit one-sided. So let me remind you; men want to feel loved and appreciated too! You don't have to go all-out with grand gestures, but here are five great gift ideas that will make Valentine's Day feel special for him too! 1. Buy, or pre-order a game he has been wanting, or get him a gift card. This is going to tell him two things. The first thing it will tell him is that you are paying attention to his interests. The second is that you put thought and effort into his gift. If your man is not a video gamer, then get him a gift card to his favorite place. This could be anything from a coffee shop he visits every morning, to a gift card for playing golf. It's all about showing you pay attention and you care. 2. Plan a day out doing something he loves Valentine's Day doesn't have...

Proof that You Were NOT the Problem

Have you ever gone through a breakup where your former partner made you feel like you were the problem? You analyzed every interaction, replayed every conversation in your head, wondering where you went wrong. Yet you just can't figure it out. Well what if I told you that the reason you can't figure it out is because you did nothing wrong. And the proof that you did nothing wrong is in him STILL contacting you? If he's doing any of these things ladies, you were NOT the problem. Casual Contact, Hidden Intentions: The Subtle Approach: He reaches out with seemingly innocuous texts or social media interactions.

Dating After 40: Why You Deserve a Man Who's Done the Work

Women in their 40s should have a different outlook on dating than those in their younger years. As we age, our priorities should change. What once seemed like an exciting project or a new endeavor may now feel like a waste of time. We reach a point where we no longer have time for "projects." And that includes men who don't have their shit together. A man must be stable, both financially and emotionally. We've invested time and energy building ourselves up and we deserve a partner who has done the same.  Once you reach a certain age, you can no longer afford to invest your time and energy into someone who isn't on the same page as you.  You've spent years working on yourself and improving your life. You've invested time and money into your education, career, and personal growth. You've learned the importance of taking care of your physical and mental health. So why should you settle for a man who hasn't done the same? A man who has done the work is...

Places in Philly: Merlino's Hoagies

Merlino's Hoagies is located at 1501 Ellsworth St Philadelphia, PA 19146. I stopped by Merlino's the other day, because it had been a couple years since I'd been there. They're still the best in South Philly. I think they're the best in Philly, period. The store has been in business since the early 1900s. The Original sign is still displayed outside. This is a place with a reputation so good, that they don't have to spend money on advertising. They don't even have to spend money on making the place look modern, or flashy. The food speaks for its self! The meats and cheese are so fresh. The rolls are awesome. If you are watching your carb intake, they do make sandwhiches on white, or wheat bread. If you are visiting South Philly get your hoagies from Merlino's. You will not be disappointed. Visit Merlino's Facebook Page:  Melino's Hoagies
