There were many such dangers, in which the odds were all against them. Their children were not as well as they had been at home; but how could they know that there was no sewer to their house, and that the drainage of fifteen years was in a cesspool under it? How could they know that the pale-blue milk that they bought around the corner was watered, and doctored with formaldehyde besides? When the children were not well at home, Teta Elzbieta would gather herbs and cure them; now she was obliged to go to the drugstore and buy extracts–and how was she to know that they were all adulterated? How could they find out that their tea and coffee, their sugar and flour, had been doctored; that their canned peas had been colored with copper salts, and their fruit jams with aniline dyes? And even if they had known it, what good would it have done them, since there was no place within miles of them where any other sort was to be had?

Whoa I didn’t know the answer, I’m dead wrong. Months are 30 days so months average 4.3 weeks. So 40 weeks IS closer to 9 than 10 months. Mind blown.
- Comment on Can also ask your mom 5 weeks ago:
40 weeks is 10 months.

In Revelation, first comes the Antichrist, the Beast from the Sea (mar a lago anyone?) he is given the power and authority of Satan. The whole world marvels at him and worships him. He speaks blasphemy and makes war against the saints.
Next comes the False Prophet, the Beast from the Earth. He uses the image of the Antichrist to control the world. He is granted power to cause the image of the antichrist to speak, and command all who will not worship the antichrist to be killed. He calls down fire from heaven. He forces all the people of earth to wear a mark of the antichrist on their forehead or hand to buy and sell.
Revelation 13 if you’re interested in the epic sci fi novel at the very end of the Bible. Got me through many hours of church.

Ok I’m laughing my ass off over here. You impregnated this woman multiple times but now you’re mad she won’t open the relationship?
So you never did any of these things you say are foundational…before having multiple children together lol.
Ok well, you’re cooked because the 1 circumstance where monogamy would be preferable for a sexually adventurous woman is…drumroll…postpartum trying to survive raising babies. She can probably hardly deal with your ass right now much less other men or your relationship dreams.
Go take care of your kids. You will pass go again in , at most, 18 years or upon the breakup with your baby mama.
