It makes me a little sad, that, instead of saying something, like "these days, she's out of bed, to enjoy a morning walk, stopping at the bakery on her return..." No, it was calling from her "five-bedroom, three-bathroom colonial, with walk-in closet & 3-car garage..."

(my apologies....just me)

This drug has become available in only the last few years for providers with a DEA license to administer or prescribe. Before that, a special DEA license was required.

MAGA hates science and Western medicine despite the fact they have children that would have died at birth without it. Women are especially prone to adopting beliefs of their current man instead of thinking it saved my premie.
