Today, I spoke to my dad for the first time in over a year. I've been volunteering in Mongolia, I have no running water, freeze my ass off everyday and communication with anyone who speaks English is scarce. One of the first things my father said to me was, "out of sight, out of mind." FML

She could have visited her dad or went to a different area in Mongolia. Besides, while volenteering you don't get any thing better than the people your helping. So of course she went somewhere else. God, people use logic and think.

omg you guys are dumb. when you volunteer, you are obviously helping a less fortunate part of the country. so no there isnt running water, and it probably is cold, and THERES NO INTERNET! sheesh...the people that go on these trips dont stay there the whole time, they get breaks to go back to civilization for a little bit where there is internet.... if some of you took the time to research anything you might understand.

Mercy is my daughter? Sweet! The question remains: Is plex the father? I don't remember any of the pregnancy, so I guess it could be anyone. Oh! I know. You're lauralatch's (or KaySL's, if you want) and my daughter. Mercy has two mommies.

I agree with the first part but if I had a son who volunteers at a miserable place to fish for compliments (proven by his post on fml) and bitches about not being the center of attention when he calls to get affection poured on I would have the same reaction

So what exactly were you expecting him to say to you, "I'm so proud of you for doing the world a great service, blah blah blah" give yourself a cookie And what do you mean "hadn't spoken to him in over a year" whose fault is that, are there no phones in Mongolia or did you think your number was listed in the Mongolia yellow pages

If the OP is volunteering, then generally they will be poor and making a phone call from the-middle-of-nowhere in Mongolia to the states is probably expensive as hell. They might only be able to call when they are in a Capital on leave if they are in the Corps. Likewise to get online.

Damn rohypnol. Oh well, Mercy, you have to take my last name now, since the father is listed as "unknown". Milfshake, lol.

I don't fight crime, I commit crime! The absinthe is fine, though.

Oh. Can the crime also be president Obama? I dislike him.

Yeah, I just generally hate him. The shit with the professor in...Boston, I think, that further proved his stupidity. I CAN HAZ PRESENTZ? Ok, Obama's on "the list".
