Okay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting very little no attention in the mainstream media.

Mississippi is voting on November 8th on whether to pass Amendment 26, the "Personhood Amendment". This amendment would grant fertilized eggs and ( Read more... )

Great episode, but I have a feeling I'm going to have nightmares from this one.  You see, it was just about 5 years ago that I got a call from my mom telling me that my sister was in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism.  It turned out to be stage IV renal carcinoma.  Average survival from diagnosis is 3 months (or it was then, I haven't kept up ( Read more... )

First, I fuckin' hate cancer.  It took my sister nearly 4 years ago, my beautiful, brilliant, sister.  We spoke nearly every day.  The loss of her is still a huge hole in my heart.  3 years later to the day, nearly to the hour, it took my dad.  It's not like in the movies where the brave cancer patient closes their eyes with a sigh, easily mistaken ( Read more... )

I've got a fanfic idea rattling around my brain.  Gilmore Girls AU (set in Xanthe's BDSM universe) but the pairing that is coming to me most clearly is Taylor / Kirk.  I am somewhat horrified.

If one more of my facebook "friends" posts this shit about "I live for Christ" I am seriously going to go postal.  Don't do status after status about beer and NASCAR and then tell me your whole life is about Jesus.  BULLSHIT!

Ever have that?  That's what work is like for me these days.  I got chewed out by a customer on Thursday because I didn't call him back.  Well, dammit, how can I call you back when everytime I try to dial the phone it rings?  And then he proceeds to spend the next 15 minutes keeping me from looking up the part I need to find for him so that I can ( Read more... )

Funny story that my husband told about NIS when he was in the Navy.  He was a 2nd class petty officer working as photographer's mate based in Norfolk.  He got transferred to NIS, but eventually ended up at NISC.  I guess it was fairly common because both names were changed within a few years of his discharge in 1987.

I'm avoiding piles and piles of work.  I know that I'd feel so much better if I would just get off my ass and do it. 

Today my baby is 5 months old. I'm amazed at how different she is from her sisters; how much she is already her own person with her own ideas. Her oldest sister hated pacifiers, was not a snuggler and weaned after 3 months. The middle sister loved her binky until she was a year old, still loves to snuggle and nursed until she was a year old. ( Read more... )

Sometimes it sucks to be the mom. The kids are bouncing off the walls, fighting with each other, crying if someone looks at them sideways. You sit there are wonder what the hell you were thinking having kids ( Read more... )
