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.

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov   Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

What to do when you're feeling confused. Photo by Felipe Cespedes Love is not a decision. Love is a feeling. The feeling is either there, or it isn't. You know from the beginning, because you feel it from the beginning. You also know if the feeling is mutual. However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt. If you find yourself in a situation where you are doubting where it's going and you're not sure if he's feels the same way about you, I recommend asking him directly, "Where is this going? Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
