So, I was unaware of the shit storm that took place over the revolting rape article that was posted. ETA: it was your letter, Kirov1934, that pointed it out to me. I think there are probably more people like me who didn't really know about.
Can't stomach being here now.
Ugh. You guys. I posted this Louis CK quote on my FB page:
"It doesn't have ANY effect on your life. What do you care?! People try to talk about it like it's a social issue. Like when you see someone stand up on a talk show and say "How am I supposed to explain to my child that 2 men are getting married?... I dunno it's your shitty kid, you fuckin' tell 'em. Why is that anyone else's problem? 2 guys are in love but they can't get married because YOU don't want to talk to your ugly child for 5 fuckin' minutes?"
This is a response I got:
"And those endorsing 'marriage for all' think this type of rhetoric helps? You say that those of us who question and struggle to accept it are hateful? Nice."
Here is my response:
"I'm not calling you hateful. I'm calling out the people who are against same sex anything because it might inconvenience them. Did you read it? Louis CK is using hyperbole to point that out. Also, I don't really understand the "struggle to accept" the fact that 2 people who love each other want to be together, share their lives together, enjoy the same rights and privileges as other people who love each other and pledge their lives to each other. It's a civil rights thing."
I've struggled with this person before - I walk a fine line because she is family. I just can't get her to pull her head out of her ass. She doesn't have a lot of experience with The Gays. Like she thinks she doesn't know anyone who is gay.
TL;DR -
What the hell? Was I too easy on her? She definitely knows how I feel about the subject, so I'm not sure why she engaged in the first place.
I always told my daughter to kick and scream and make as much noise as she could if she was in that situation. She never had to do it though.
I'm glad that Miss Baxter had the presence of mind to do it.
I'm sure if he wasn't sick my husband would have taken me up on it. And I am so not in the mood.
I've got guest rooms!
Hm. When I got pregnant at 16 I definitely thought I was infertile. Mostly I was (PCOS), but that one little egg got through. I'm very proud of my daughter, and often call her my miracle.
My husband and I (not her biological father, but her father in every other way) tried for more, but weren't successful. We're going to Costa Rica to visit her and our son-in-law in a few weeks. They are there with the Peace Corps.
It worked out for me, but I am an extreme example. Use birth control, kids.
My little beagle has a shaking/seizure syndrome. Preliminary testing didn't reveal anything definitive, but her vet prescribed phenobarbitol and no more seizures. Good luck, Uggie!
I don't mind bones in my chicken, but one tiny piece of fat left on and I am done. Yuck.
Mm. This weeks new recipe was Roasted Cauliflower and Almond Soup. It was super easy. If you're interested, let me know.
Also, Mashed Cauliflower is yummy, too.
I'm in the third week of my new and improved sugarless existence. I've lost some weight, sure, but what I hope for is avoidance of Diabetes. I have 5 siblings who have it.
God, I hope no photos are involved!
I am a plus sized woman with big tits and ass. A few years ago I went on a cruise and wore bikinis. I felt pretty comfortable. I would only do that outside of the US, though. I know this country is way more disapproving of women of size.
Maybe I'll drag the bikini out for my trip to Costa Rica.
Sweet. The Orpheum is a beautiful old girl.
My two beagles are the mousers in my house. The two cats just want to play with the mice.
My husband has a huge lump on his thyroid and his was totally benign. He doesn't have to have his surgically removed until it really starts bothering him. And, we're talking pretty big here. Big enough that I can see it when he swallows.
Where was it? I wish I'd been aware of it!
Yeah! I love the Old Market (I used to work in one of the galleries there). Awesome restaurants. Anything is better than Cracker Barrel!
Hey! Council Tucky? Ugh, I'm a transplant in the Bluffs, but I've always hated that name! So, you in Omaha?
Wait, Craig Ferguson was in my neck of the woods and I didn't get to stalk, er, see him? Dude is shexay!
That's a gorgeous color wool!
