A month ago I was on a VERY long train ride. ( I am pregnant in my 3rd trimester) Left Kansas after attending a funeral- headed home to NY

I was/am very pregnant - anyway Im married- & ALL of my children were born AND conceived in wedlock! Even so - I pass no judgement on others in different situations. My hubs & I are both a little quirky- we don't wear rings- never have- we got matching tattoos instead - I have plenty more tattoos too -some to commemorate the births of my children & some just because I enjoy them. Well a woman who sat next to me for a few hrs started out very kind (though she def gave me a once over)- and then became personal- it started when she offered me pamphlet from a church- I didn't want to be rude, so I took it-it was a brochure about unplanned pregnancy/ adoption!! I almost **** myself, who the hell carries stuff like that w/them?! I politely tried to return it - when I did, she pushed it back at me & asked why my child should have to suffer poverty & grow up with no father b/c of "my sins" I lost it. I completely went bat **** on her & spent 3 hrs in the dining car until she disembarked. Who was she to make these assumptions?! I'd mostly forgotten about this, until it happened again! Today on the subway some blonde tourist in an Ohio state sweater & her cowboy husband commended me for my "Bravery- not taking the easy way out " and " accepting responsibility for my choices" I didn't even bother w/them, just changed cars. WTF is w/these people?!

So I'm sitting at an Amtrak station- almost 8 months pregnant at 3 am with almost 2 entire days of train travel ahead of me.... Kansas up to Chicago and then Chicago all the way home to NY!! Why would I put myself through this? My doctor would not clear me to fly and It's summer, so I can't wear something big to hide my belly, it's also very hard to hide b/c it's so monstrously big - it looks like I've got twins in there- and i'm am not a very big person naturally- so it's extra noticeable. When I asked the doctor why I couldn't fly-since I'm not due for 5, almost 6 weeks- he said he was just "erring on the side of caution." When I asked what would happen if I flew- he said "Most likely nothing." but STILL wouldn't clear it. I started searching around and read about women traveling almost into the 9th month- what gives- is this safe , or not?

He becomes really addicted to heroin and spends all his money on it- but the drug dealer shoots him up most of the time. He has a wife in a wheel-chair- he believes she is in a wheelchair because of a automobile accident he was involved in where he was the driver, she was a passenger and he was at fault.... He married her out of guilt for what he thought was ruining her life.... anyways he's not doing too well and by the middle of the movie- he's become a full-fledged heroin addict, He is also having an affair- which you sympathize with after finding out his wife is faking her disability and can walk just fine without her wheel chair- she kept this story up so he would marry her. In the end I think she falls/jumps off a balcony and dies (could be wrong about the ending). I've seen the moive before- obviously- but can't find it online or anything without knowing the name... No idea why it's bugging me so much- just want to know the name of the darn movie!!!

Is it some sort of flavor of fruit or vegetables, or just food coloring.... googling is NOT helping because I'm just getting so many different answers. I want to make a traditional red velvet cake properly

Very upset and uncomfortable- my thighs haven't touched in years, and my butt never touched the back of my legs it was always "up" I cannot even look at myself in the mirror right now! I haven't been eating anymore than usual- so I figure it must be b/c i'm a lot more sedentary right now? I've gained 40 lbs and I'm barely coming up on the 7th month. I just can't stop gaining! I realize *SOME* of this is the baby/fluid, but it can't be anymore than 10lbs of it? 30lbs is all me....I feel so fat and uncomfortable and am getting back fat too!! I have a high risk pregnancy and I'm essentially on bed rest- so I won't be able to really exercise, but looking/feeling like this cannot be healthy- and If I continue to gain at this rate- I could easily have gained 60-70 lbs and I DO NOT want to get to that point! How can I prevent myself from gaining more without starving the baby of nutrients and with extremely limited physical activity allowed?? :/ even my face feels fat!

Okay so this is a long one.... My bestfriend is a guy. We've been friends since we were small children. We've never dated/hooked up- we've always only been platonic friends. Anyway his wife has always hated me- and part of it is likely because I begged and pleaded with my friend not to marry her- I could see right through her, and what I saw was NOT good.

When they met she was a 19 year-old stripper who saw men as big giant wallets. With-in a month he was buying her EVERYTHING/paying her bills. I was shocked he could fall for her crap. Anyway- a month into the relationship she is pregnant. My friend wanted her to stop stripping- she said she would if he married her- they get married at the courthouse. A few months later the baby is born a month early. After the birth she seemed to have changed & it seemed like she really loved her kids. Fast forward a decade. They now have SIX children! She stays at home w/kids & he is in the military. On out the outside they look like the perfect family. However their youngest son got sick & he needs a kidney- they tested both parents/family members etc. It turns out that boy isn't his. He flipped and had a DNA test done on all of his children. It turns out FOUR of her children are NOT his!!! Including the daughter she was pregnant w/when they got married. His 2 year old daughter is his, so is his 8 year old son the rest aren't! He is in so much shock & I have no idea what to say to comfort him- he keeps asking for advice & I'm at a loss....
