*jacked

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is considering charging Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump with inciting a riot after violence broke out during a Trump rally in Fayetteville last Wednesday, Sheriff’s Office lawyer Ronnie Mitchell said.

“We are looking at the totality of these circumstances, including any additional charges against Mr. McGraw, including the potential of whether there was conduct on the part of Mr. Trump or the Trump campaign which rose to the level of inciting a riot,” Mitchell said.

John Franklin McGraw, 78, of Linden, was charged Thursday with misdemeanor assault, communicating threats and disorderly conduct after punching protestor Rakeem Jones during the Trump rally March 9 at the Crown Coliseum.

Bail was set at $5,000.

The assault was captured from multiple angles on cellphone videos later posted to social media.

The punch has prompted debate on Trump’s handling of protestors at his rallies.

Girl I KNEW you were coming with it. Why I aint say ish. YES

The title says tampons, but the article states tampons and pads. Tampons are a must when playing sports such as basketball, gymnastics, track n field, etc. I couldn’t imagine running up n down the court or the 4×100 relay with a bulky pad on…how dreadful. ??

Hopefully they are also taught about the importance of TSS.

“NYC Public School students will have access to bathroom dispensers that will provide free tampons and sanitary napkins starting today.”
I had to reread this myself..

Chile…most folks just read the title. I thought I was missing something too. **shrugs shoulders**?

Funny story number 1…
My sister comes screaming and crying into the room with me and my mother..middle of her panties red:

Mom:Girl what is wrong with you? Go change your panties and put on a new pad! (this is her first time wearing a pad)
Sister: I can’t mommy it wont come off!
Mom; SAYWANAH?!!
Sister pulls down panties..shyt stuck to her cootah hairs..bish had her first period and almost her first Brazilian wax at the same damn time!

Funny story number Two
Me: Okay baby do you want mommy to go in with you and help you buy your first pads?
OldestWutt: Nah mommy I can do it
She goes in comes out all happy. I get home and ask for the change she said mommy I never knew these things were so expensive.. she gives me the receipt..can’t believe my eyes.. snatch the bag and pull out…Depends Pads…I almost made her wear that shyt for not looking and reading what she needed…

if you don’t take your Marva “Sway” Collins self on somewhere tuhday…

When I SAY that was the LAST place in this STATE that fool needed to act up in? AND they are CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW…acting up in Hickory.

You know Sandra might pop up in her moderator box and be all butt hurt with “YALL Dont NEVAH READ the article”

Hopefully they’ll use them and shower/baize regularly. I attended my nephew-son’s PTA meetings some years ago and time was put on the agenda at one particular meeting to specifically discuss the “stank” emanating from the girl’s restroom…this was elementary school.

And I know of several teachers who routinely give out pads, tampons, feminine hygiene spray, wipes and deodorant…elementary on up through high school.

I think this is a great iniative. Because of the fear of TSS, I think menstrual cups would’ve been a good choice.

Is this Mr. Moose’s office or a different county?

Sandra, I’m a need for you to be more rapid with the postings…lol.

Lol @ “sanitary napkins.” Thank you. That’s what they were referred to as when I had my first period. ???

I thought someone else was on duty this time a day anyway. At least, that’s the way it reads most days to me.

You pushing those cups, ain’tcha. LOL

Buttah!! **shakes head vigorously** these are teens…they barely know which direction to wipe in…imagine the mess of hormonal teen girls with menstrual cups. Somebody would think it’s “funny” to throw it on somebody. Kids are different nowadays…

Hahaha. Yep. I wish someone would’ve told me earlier.

Had to go look him up, he is a big ole moose size guy too. I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side.

Lol… they will be dispensing the big fat ones that barely stick to the undies

Always super thin for those cases

As quiet as it’s kept, the kids of today seem to be a different breed, but they are much worse than previous generations. They know that spitting on someone is the most disrespectful things ever, so throwing the contents of a menstrual cup on someone is vile even for the youngins.

Elementary age girls with BV??? Ohhh my!

LMAO

I just spit this rice across the room.

This is a good thing.

Hollered in middle of nail shop. Hollered loud.

Yes ma’am! Chirruns hormones/bodies different now than back in the day! When Feline13 was in elementary school, the counselors talked to them all about hygiene. When I was in school, we didn’t get that lesson (in school) until middle school. Poor Feline9 been wearing deodorant since he was 6 *tears*

Tampons? Goodness I’ve never wanted to try one and was always scared to put one up there when I was in my teens lol. I still don’t use them and don’t plan to start. Plus there’s a risk of toxic shock. It’s excellent what they’re doing but I hope they give out free pads as well.

Yep. Part of the 5th grade curriculum statewide. We had to all sign off for our child to participate right before holiday break.

You are kidding right?!

CTHU;…….in your visual, did he shale the desk and then flip it over?!

????

So embarssing..

Yes! Even in primetime (afterschool group) they talked to them about tampons.

Great idea. Hope they don’t do what we used to, jack up machine and resell out our lockers.

Sahara, Mohave, KK’s puss……see all the same!! LOL

DEAD ??????????

I hope, since they are providing tampons, they give a hard, long, in depth lesson on them. It is grown women who don’t know how to properly use them.

Lmaooo. Moose is a known gentle giant until pissed off. Funniest press conf. EVER and they took down all traces of it I see, I was tryna find it last week when the whole Trump ish happened. He fired one of his own deputies and pressed charges on his ass too for THEFT for stealing and selling department ammunition. This time last year. BAY-BEE Moose looked into that reporter face and said if anybody turns up dead with department ammunition in their ays, and it comes to find out it was bc dude SOLD it on the streets, he was gonna find a way to charge his ass with MURDER TOO. And was like any further questions? Them reporters faces was like HELL NAW. You not playing. Thanks for your time though.

Zoe10 be getting musty if she don’t wear deodorant. I be getting on that tail. The moment you dry off, get them pits. I even make her deodorant. No excuses. Women can be so nasty.

He is funny as HAIL. Very entertaining.When it snow and it be accidents he be like well I TOLD folks stay their dumb asses off the roads. We cant help Mother Nature OR hardheaded.

Shoot, it sound like Moose might be able to at least calm Mother Nature down!! She don’t want no problems.

Can’t I am sitting in a circular room!! HA

Still too iffy when ur hopping around on defense…legs spread wide…or when stretching for a meet. I was only allowed to wear them for meets or games, otherwise I wore pads.

My mom had hers removed, but they kept returning (this is not the case for everybody), eventually she got a full hysterectomy, because it got too painful.

I did too until I did some research. I was 10. Depends upon your hymen and vaginal canal. If you’re an athlete can also be a factor.

Once you hit 4th grade in my school you went to a special girl class and they handed out sanitary items, napkins and tampons, slims, regulars, and supers. I didn’t start my cycle for another 2 years. I used a pad one time and couldn’t stand the feel and constant worrying about having accidents. Just the thought of blood on me freaked me out. Once I read about blood hitting air, it was a wrap. No more pads.

???

? Did you see my dodgeball post?

But there are those who are just that vile!! Sad to say!!

Really? ?

or seeing that mattress thrown out…without being wrapped up.

Michael Jackson spins on tip toes…double black flip..yes black flip grip heart like Fred Sanford trust fall into my grave…

yaaasssss!!!! we used to have them at work too but those days are long gone.

if you can put a big fat black one up there you can put a lil slim kotex up there lol.

you know that shyt will be all over the floor, in the sink, in the trashcan, etc…..

i had my legs spread open at my desk (just sitting as regular), with some yellow pants on, talking to this dude next to me. unbeknownst to me, some red had start to spread and he was like “close your legs”. EMBARRASSED!!

SCARRED FOR LIFE! thank God for wings. these kids don’t know how bad we had it. i still look at my azz in the mirror just to make sure the bulk doesn’t show.

1st round I cut the ends off mine because it looked as if I had something jutting out the front…and back. ?

i don’t fugg with them “longs” except at night. some of them shyts go from from your belly button to your back.

i used that diaper when i was in the hospital having my child; it came in super handy.

LMFAO LMFAO OMG
I CANT BREATHE

You remember Superbad that nasty heifer was bleeding on people. Eww

LOL THE BEST CHUCKLE!!!

Yuck and yes..

I think moms told that to daughters to keep them from wanting to “stick things” inside of them LOL even being sexually active placing in tampons and pulling them out are not comfy. my gina be having a vice grip on that thing when I’m ready to switch it out LOL

?, where did you get this? I love FLOTUS.

my cousin started at 9 and was a D cup by 13. society wants to make women ashamed of what comes naturally. feminine hygiene is an issue after about age 7. sweating, underarm funk, vaginal hair (I’m hairy so by 7 I had hair everywhere…no boobs till 11 tho *major side eye to my genetics*)

OMG… I can’t stop laughing…

my first one lasted 6wks then when it left i only had a 2 day reprieve before it was back on lol i asked my dad if he could talk to one of his doctor co-workers about a hysterectomy bc i couldn’t do this for the rest of my life LMFAO my step-mom was bout to take me to the hospital to see if i was losing too much blood and becoming anemic and all that. by the 3rd period i was good lol bc of my active lifestyle and low body fat % they came every 3mo from there on out (praise God)

LMFAO my step-mom got on the phone with my mom (read post up top about how mine came lol) and talked about me they both cackling and carrying on

OMG!!!!!!!!
my cousin started hers at 9. my uncle cried standing there while my aunt was showing her how to use pads LMFAO all he kept saying “my baby girl not a baby girl anymore” over and over LMFAO

see stuff like that make me wanna fight

Pot meet kettle! Wonder where she got it from?? ???

????? ctfu

You would know since you have first hand knowledge.

Shuddup ???

I had a partial hysterectomy & it was life changing I was thrilled not to have any more periods If you are not planning on having more children I would do it also with the partial it doesn’t make you go into early menopause I really couldn’t see any downside

Great idea…but who’s paying for this? Schools are already struggling and the teacher’s carry the most of it…

Sigh…CHILE…

Omg

Lol same thing my dad did… I was 1 month shy of 11

LOL I CAN’T WITH YOU!!!!

You win, I thought my story was bad.

The hurt reporters so folks are going to jail and next stop, right back to hell.

I played basketball, volleyball, etc. I still didn’t use tampons because they aren’t comfortable. I would shoot on a half-court for about 2-hours at a time. I don’t know any other girls, and even boys, who were as active as I was, especially playing sports.

??? I am hollering!

I had Uterine Fibroid Immobilization. Killed the arteries that were feeding the blood to those darn fibroids. No hysterectomy needed. YAY.

Any side effects? How was this done?

Great ???? hope Cleanliness & “Hygiene goes along with it??

Immobilization stops the Growth for a few years. It shrinks them which causes the Fibroids 2 fuse together looking like “Lobster. ?. After 2 to 3 yrs they will come back. I had that Procedure Twice, AFTER I had my first regular surgery just 2 CUT those suckers out & they kept commin back with A vengeance?After having 2 deal with it every 3 yrs or so. I decided on A “Partial Hysterectomy.?

I don’t think this is a good idea….its gonna b one or two ratchets that wanna steal the whole supply for they family lol

Thank you

I’m still not cultured (read: ready to try it) in THAT aspect.

Good job! Glad they can see tax dollars at good use

? lmao
