Why don't parents "Check" there children when they take them for a pub lunch?

Pubs are different to restaurants. I would not allow my children to run around the seating area of a pub but most pubs have gardens and play areas. Pubs cater to two groups, day time and lunch time is geared towards families. The evening is for adults. A pub is a public house, it aims to have a more laid back and homely atmosphere, most pub landlords have children of their own and some of those that run around, are running around their own homes. When I was child free and wanted a quiet meal, the last place I would consider getting it is a lunch time pub!!!

What are the chances of me being pregnant?!?!?

Okay, I don't want to get my hopes up, because my husband and I have been trying to conceive after our previous miscarriage. So I have been keeping track of my cycles and taking body signs into account for ovulation. So my LMP was May 23, and since my periods are regular and 30 days apart, I figured around the 9-13th of June, I would be ovulating. We had sex on the 9th, the 10th and the 11th. I was feeling particularly revved up on the 11th, and I've heard that women tend to have a sexual desire when they are ovulating, so I am pretty confident that I was ovulating around that time. I am still a week off from testing, so I don't get false negatives, or get my hopes up too soon. And I know that it is still a little too early for symptoms of pregnancy, but I have a few that could be looked at as symptoms. The lack of PMS cramps is rare, because I always have massive cramping around the week and a half mark before my period is due. Also, my breasts are really sore, and my nipples appear bigger and are very sensitive to touch. Frequent urination, and I know that is too early for that to start, but I barely drink anything and I have to go. I've gone twice so far in the past hour. And a little bit of pain on the right side of my lower abdomen. I am not sure if that is even a symptom, but it comes and goes. I think it's too early for round ligament pain. My first born is 18 months old, and I have a hard time remembering pregnancy with him as far as the early portion is concerned. So I was just wondering what you ladies have to say about this. Would you say there is a good chance that I am pregnant, or that I am just reading into things? I just really want to be pregnant so bad, and I am trying not to focus on it, but it's hard during the waiting game. It's going to be a LONG week!

Girls, how pathetic am I?

Your not a loser mate your just 17.. Most 17's are feeling it at that age.. Just work on things your good at and the rest will fall into place..

Who's been your favorite team's biggest draft disappointment?

Laurence Maroney by far, he had great skills coming out of college and did nothing in the NFL. He was made of glass and ran for the sideline instead of trying to get that extra yard or the 1st down.

Spiritually speaking, do you think drunk drivers should receive a harsher punishment?

What about drunk pedestrians who cause accidents, but the car driver almost always gets the blame even if they're totally sober? It's still classed as a car accident caused by alcohol and everyone assumes it's always the driver's fault. Often it isn't.

Broccoli & quinoa: would you make any changes to this?

This is similar to a dish I make, so have you thought of cooking it all together? In my recipe, you toast the quinoa in a dry skillet to give it a nutty flavor and then add 2 cups liquid/cup of grain-bring to a boil, then cover and cook 20min. You could add the broccoli and garlic at that point and steam it all together. It seems simpler-add the lemon juice after cooking. I also might suggest some fresh tomato added after cooking then just heated through and/or maybe 1/4 cup grated hard cheese.
