Question by Allie: 31 Weeks, Doc Says Tyke Will Have “Fetal Achilles Syndrome”?
re posted since I didn’t get my answer the last time)

My doc says my baby will have fetal alcohol syndrome because I drink too much, don’t judge. I knew that I am not supposed to really drink but I cut down a lot and I only go out once a week with my friends (I used to go out almost every night before pregnancy and we all know it’s hard to quit cold turkey am I right??) Is fetal alcohol syndrome expensive? I don’t have a lot of money since the daddy left and I am a teacher that doesn’t get paid a lot at all. If its too expensive I am going to give the baby up for adoption and try again for a more perfect child soon. Where are some good places to have a closed adoption? With a closed adoption, do you have to see the kid again ever and have to pay for it? I don’t want that.

Best answer:

Answer by C R
A closed adoption is where you will have no contact with the child. An open adoption is where you are still in the childs life.

But all babies are perfect. No matter whats wrong with it. Parents are to be blamed for that stuff not the child.

“The argument that many people use to speak against homosexuality claiming that ‘it is a mental disorder’ is inconsistent because we do not speak out against those who are depressed or have Down Syndrome.”

I don’t know anyone who calls it a mental disorder. That is the very first time I’ve ever heard that position.

Question by Ashlee: Trying to save our relationship from “Turned 21 Syndrome”?
My partner and I have been together for 4 years and have had a pretty healthy relationship.
Since turning 21 recently, my partner’s interests have become solely clubbing, drinking and sex. She came home from the club one night with a huge hickey on her neck from someone else. She tells me that I’m holding her back from partying and whatnot, but I can’t understand why she would throw away an awesome 4 year relationship just to party.
Also our sex life has never been great and I know this bothers her also, but I’ve been working on things to try and improve our experience.
However, she turns down all my sexual advances and doesn’t even seem to want to cuddle anymore. She ruins all our chances at alone time by inviting other people along.
I love her with all I am and I am desperate to save this relationship. What can I do? Our mutual friends tell me that she does love me (and they are extremely honest people who wouldn’t tell me what I want to hear) but I don’t feel like she does, I feel like all she wants is to party at the expense of our close relationship. Please help.
I am also 21.

Answer by Reign
There isn’t much to help. Your relationships as you knew it is over. Your friends are right she doesn’t love you the way she did before. I think this is the writing on the wall that it is time for the two of you to go your separate ways. You may not understand now but when you turn 21 you will. Things change drastically in relationships when one can go out clubbing an the other can’t. Different people care encountered and new experiences occur.

Question by Zarathustra….alas: Do you think most democrats are afflicted with “BDS” Bush Derangement Syndrome”?
I think so much of their reasoning. are just based on PURE, unadulterated,illogical, and completly irrational arguments
I don’t agree with himm always, but their disagrements go WAY beyond that.They defy rational thought and human understanding, That is why it is a mental disorder. IE. Bill Maher,Joy Beyhart, Sean Penn, Janine Garofalo, Harry Bellafonte and many may more. Most of whom would have faded out of existence in the public eye if it wasn’t for their constant talk of their hatred of Bush.
They all call him & republicans, fascist constantly, what a joke, They need to look up what a fascist IS and they will see the ones they idolize are the true fascists
These people will even stick up for adiminijiad, and communist dictators, their personal favorite
Nazi style=shouting down opposing views,enacting speech control, PC santions,
What do repubs do that is fascist?

Answer by Smurfy Keeps Going and Going
This is what I was told by a labor and delivery nurse who had a newborn with breathing problems.

The term “wimpy white boy lungs” isn’t really so much a syndrome as a tendency or a statistical likelihood. It’s just a term that neonatal nurses came up with since Caucasian males are the most likely to have breathing issues or underdeveloped lungs at birth, specifically when born prematurely. The nurse I referred to above had a baby born slightly premature (36 weeks), and he had some breathing issues after birth. The nurses in the NICU said he had “wimpy white boy lungs”. You can read more about it here: http://baby.families.com/blog/weak-white-males-and-the-difference-race-makes-in-preemies

Prematurity – even if it’s not severe prematurity – can result in slightly slower development, so it’s not unusual that your cousin’s child might be developing a little more slowly than his peers. As long as his parents are staying on top of his well baby visits and keeping an eye on his milestones, chances are, he’ll catch up eventually and function normally with time. There are many organizations to help with any delays, too.

Question by Fred: Should ALL be treated equal on SAT tests, ETC?
I think those tests are bias against blacks and those with “Downs Syndrome”, they don’t score well, so something must be against them. We need to do away with all testing as to show WE are all equal.

Best answer:

Answer by Dustin
Maybe they don’t score as well because they don’t do as well?

Question by Jake Bananna: Is it important to treat intellectually challenged people like everyone else?
The reason I ask is because we recently celebrated April Fools Day” in my little berg.
My neighbour “Artie” has “downs syndrome”, through no fault of his own, no that was gods punishment for his mothers wanton ways. He’s not a bad guy, “Artie”, sure he talks a little funny and looks a little freaky, I am used to him and he to me.
Anyways he was at the park the other day, April fools day. I thought it would be funny to phone the police and say he was either drunk or drugs and was scaring my kids.
How could I have anticipated how badly Artie would react to a taser and pepper spray.
Anyways to make a long story short, people have been bugging on me about this. Saying it was not funny, saying it was explotive and in the case of the police, saying it was criminal.
Anyways “Artie” is home now.
I am going to make things up to him and write him a personal ad. Does anyone know what they call one of those guys that operates on brains. I am giving Artie a profession.

Answer by thebest<>keptsecRet
that’s really sad- the guy that operates on brains is a brain surgeon
