I've had the exact opposite experience before. I used to work the phones at a family physician's office and a man called in asking for advice for his dog diagnosed with cancer. I let him know id ask the doctor to get back in touch with him but she is unfortunately trained in human medicine and may not be able to aid in veterinary concerns. The doctor loved my notes from that call so much that she printed them off and hung it up in her office.

    The same benefit you mentioned regarding small towns is also their biggest downside. In your example, it 100% matters who is doing the punching. From personal experience, if a girl is raped by the high school's star athlete, it is the girl who is ostracized by the town for going to the police. Small towns can be incredibly dangerous to outsiders (with outsider meaning any family without at least three generations worth of full-time residence)

    I am only 9 weeks pregnant and feel like I've been hit by a truck. I was expecting to feel the pain and frequent urination in the third trimester, but not this early! I recently learned that pregnancy isn't a break from periods, instead it feels like one constant never-ending period. I also didn't expect to be so grossed out by my favorite foods or to be unable to eat any leftovers. Omg and getting sick without being able to take any decongestants! Ugh!

    What is something about pregnancy that you did not see coming? I want to know no matter how grotesque. Thank you!
