Disney ain’t doing too good recently. They lost a shiatload of cash in attendance this quarter, as every park did, they closed a lot of their Disney shops just recently, after Endgame Marvel is sort of out of gas and they don’t know what to do with Star Wars. They were ruling the world in 2015. Now they’re raping excellent grannies.

Not really, as long as none of the females in that bloodline are interested in an easy course to college. My grandmother was pregnant by 17 and much later ended up being an LPN. On the one hand I would not exist, however on the other, I have to question how much better her life might have been if she had not been pregnant right out of high school by some psycho.
Damn! And I was so near complaining about Disney for making me pay for Disney !

If CBD is illegal, it’s illegal.
But what is your point?
If daughter got married at 21 had a kid at 22, her mother and grandmother were the exact same, so that would put her mom at 44, and her granny, the baby’s great-grandma at 66.
Or do you anticipate all females to wait until 45 then go after the IVF dragon?
What happened to her body her option?
CruiserTwelve: Body-camera video released of Orange County deputies arresting a great-grandmother who was discovered in ownership of CBD oil at Walt Disney World tells a various story from her initial claims of her arrest.
It appears she tends to exaggerate.
There is no doubt she was embarrassed – specifically if the police officers cavity searched her. I’ve been cavity browsed and it is traumatizing and embarrassing. I hope her story gets national attention and the backlash on Disney harms them.
I came here to rip on the woman and her attorney, however after reading and watching the video you posted, I have a message for the Disney “pig” who called the real pigs:

There is no real law on the books that states it’s prohibited in Florida.
She’s playing it up for the lawsuit, as is Crump … but if she was cavity-searched that’s going to add some outrage to the mix.
They are plainly panning for settlement gold here. 18 million is a laughable number developed to get the attention of the Mouse and the OCPD insurance providers. All celebrations understand this.
She will most likely win a high 5 figure (perhaps low six figure) settlement, of which Crump will take 50-60%.

All I understand is I truly appreciated having a young mama when I remained in intermediate school. Everyone’s mom and dad was old as dirt. Half dead individuals.
My mom was29 My classmates mom’s and daddy’s appeared like my grandma and grandfather. Which is odd. Due to the fact that they was really actually truly old people. My mom was the child. Her earliest sibling was adult when my mommy was born or quickly after.

Better than “waiting til you’re prepared.” And after that day never ever comes. One is never ever all set, finest to get it out of the way early.
Besides, people aren’t expected to have kids (particularly their first kid) in their 40 s. Like it or not, we are built to reproduce when we are young people.
I initially began cigarette smoking 50 years ago. So the meme listed below I take seriously. Many people have suffered so much for so long. I understood many throughout the years, lives interfered with and broken, households destroyed. Numerous lawmakers thinking this is BS and likewise BTW federally it’s still a Schedule I drug.

I’ve met an excellent variety of grannies in their early 40’s. Not backing it, however it’s definitely a thing.

I know a couple of who became grannies at 30 and they were great-grannies by their mid-40 s. Bad decisions are just endemic to some households.
