The Sacrifices of a Woman

Today as my stats professor ended class, she presented us with a study that concluded that higher rates of morning sickness in women during pregnancy seem to show that they had a more robust placenta. This entailed that their child had lower risks of developmental problems.

As I was leaving class with my friend it made me realize and remember how it seems that for you to have a baby with the most optimal health he or she could have, you have to make sacrifices. Studies show you need to gain weight, need to be careful about what you eat, need to make sure you don't expose yourself to toxins, etc...

However, in all actuality, women are taught from a young age that they need to make sacrifices. The classical Pain is Beauty...

Girls wake up extra early, to do their hair, to do their makeup...some even diet. As they grow up some might face the decision between a family and children or a career. Which is yet another sacrifice...

Anyway it was just a random thought of mine.

Some People...

Some people will never know your side of the story.

Chicken à la carte...

This is quite a sad video...

Noses and Who Is A Friend?

I was reading this magazine and there was this article explaining how when you are trying to recognize a face, the first thing you will at is the nose. This happens whether you know it or not. I found that sort of interesting...makes me more self-conscious about my nose now..

Anyway so I was speaking to a good friend of mine today and one topic that was brought up was how a couple of people we know or used to have great friendships with seemed to have disappeared from the face of earth. Well, technically no, not the face of the earth since we do see some activity on Facebook. However, we do not hear from them at all.

And so it made us think...are they or should they still be considered a friend or simply an acquaintance?
