Two Women and a Baby
It's a daunting thing to accept when you realize you're a lesbian that having children may have well been either put on hold or taken completely off the table. That's what I thought at least. My girlfriend and I had been together for seven years when we decided it was time to expand our family. We looked around online at our options, and holy heck, we were out of our league. The prices seemed outrageous. What two heterosexual people, medical reasons aside, can typically do for free, or at least keep making attempts, would cost us an arm and a leg. We gave up hope for awhile that this would ever happen for us.

An Important Part of My Life - My Brother Lee's Death
On Monday 29th July 2013 I went to the Mencap Summer Scheme with my brother Lee. He had been feeling fine all day until that night when he started to complain about feeling out of breath. He went on the nebuliser to try to normalise his breathing but a few minutes later Lee collapsed. He had suffered an aggressive asthma attack. My dad tried to carry out CPR on Lee while my mum called an ambulance. Once it arrived the paramedics took over from my Dad and Lee was sent to Antrim Area Hospital.

FB Comments: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Has this happened to you? You had a rough day — and so you post a little rant about it.... "Toddler colored on the walls while 7 year old bathed the cat in apple juice and the baby threw up all over the clean basket of laundry as if auditioning for the exorcist."

Life of a Snake Hustler Part 1
What is responsible breeding? Like anything where you are bringing living breathing creatures (humans included) into the world. It's very tough to decide what constitutes ethics and ethical breeding. Generally it classes reptile companies into 2 subsets. You have the make money operations focused on pumping out large numbers of reptiles to distribute often to pet stores, and you have the hobby breeders who love wholeheartedly what they are doing. There are a few odd cases of people who manage to straddle the gap between a make-money and a labour of love, but it remains a tricky balance.

With it’s explosive scenes, witty repartee, and revolutionary soundtrack, there’s no doubt that this new Edgar Wright flick is one of the best films released in theatres over the past few years. The movie centres around Baby (Ansel Elgort), a personal getaway driver for the Kingpin of the Atlanta underworld, Doc (Kevin Spacey), as he prepares for his ‘final job’ in order to keep his newfound love interest safe.

My Cat Almost Set My House on Fire
We pull up to our house and all we see is a gargantuan firetruck, taking up the whole width of the street, parked in front of our house. There are blue and red flashing lights, a few smaller fire vehicles, police. We are confused to say the very least. But let's rewind a little.
