My great grandmother and great great grandmother went to the OES a long time ago so I do have a bloodline and when I was young my great grandmother refused to tell me anything other than it being a church organization, now that I'm older I'm curious what Freemasonry and the order of the eastern star is all about. Is it a religion or like a charity or something? Would my bloodline be a good qualifier for joining? I'm just curious what this place is all about because no one told me anything but they did say that they were sworn to secrecy I don't know why but I just genuinely want to know what goes on there and if I should join. Any information would be helpful thanks. For reference my great grandmother is still alive but we don't talk for personal reasons but I would if I had to.

I just want to spend mother's day with my boyfriend and I was wondering what kind of kinky things that we could try, nothing too crazy just extra spankings or something.

My mother in law was taking me home yesterday (don't ask it's a long story) and she went to the hardware store while I was in the car with my boyfriend, we were playing a silly game and we made a list of stuff that we would need to survive in the wilderness. The mother in law comes back in the car and she asked what we were doing while she was gone and my boyfriend told her we were making a 'list' and she asked if it was a baby registry or something so I had said I've already made one.

This is where things get complicated, she said 'did it ever occur to you maybe I wanted to buy something as a surprise for my grandchild' I said nothing because I was embarrassed and thought I was in the wrong and maybe I was I don't know. I said sorry because I didn't know what else to say but she kept saying things along the lines of me being insensitive and that this is her 'first grandbaby' in my head I was thinking that it's my first BABY.

She kept going for about 10 minutes and I was on the verge of tears at this point and just wanted to get away from her. I could tell my boyfriend was uncomfortable and angry but he didn't say anything because he knows I don't like conflict. She finally got to my house I said thank you and left. Once I got inside I told my grandmother what had happened and she seemed like she agreed with me but maybe I'm overreacting or hormonal and hyperbolic but it's keeping me awake.

I only made a registry for my baby shower in July because there is some stuff that I do need it wasn't to spite her or exclude her or anything like that I just wanted to prepare for my son to be here and this is my first baby so I wanted to write things down. I don't know maybe I shouldn't have made a registry or should have told her but it's not like she ever asked, she doesn't know about the baby shower yet because MY mom is helping me plan it and I don't want to know what she's going to say once she finds out about that. AITAH?

Possible miscarriage involved

I'm 19 weeks and yesterday I was urinating blood, not even a large amount it was less than dime sized and I've been having severe abdominal pain for 2 days. The blood was not coming out of my vagina. I'm scared because my obgyn told me to go to the maternity ward immediately, I've had this happen before and everything was fine but now I'm not so sure any advice would be helpful.
