    Pro-Life Means… Pro Breast Cancer? Pro-STD? Anti-Contraception?

    Heeding the call for JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, the repugnant Republican bullies vote to defund Planned Parenthood. Because we all need more UN-planned parenthood, more sexually transmitted diseases, more breast cancer going undetected, and more forced pregnancies. Meanwhile, these same jerkwads will soon be voting to cut benefits for poor children – the babies must be birthed, but after that parents, and poor women who won’t have easy access to contraception, are on their own. How do Republicans sleep at night, the hypocrites? Thank GOD I had my tubes tied years ago. Young women, if it weren’t for the Democratic Senate…

    Shoveled and Raked and Sore and Tired, and Cooked and Ate The Whole Thing

    So yes, we went back out into bright sunshine with no wind to speak of, and David removed more snow from the bottom of the drive while I messed around digging out the walk to the front door. He put the snow “rake” together and I pulled some of the snow off the porch roof, then David raked while I dug out more of the front sidewalk to the corner. And after that, David went in and I used the big light aluminum shovel to dig toward my neighbor, who was digging out the sidewalk from his side. The snow…

    Carnival Of Homeowner Gymnastics, OR: Why Snow Days Aren’t That Much Fun Really

    David was working from home, I wasn’t doing much except tinkering with something online. Andthen I heard an ominous tick-tick-pat-pat sound from upstairs. There was no question either of us were getting on the road this morning, especially as the street wasn’t really driveable until about 830am, and the local drivers tend to get stuck in intersections a lot because of either bad snow driving skills, or bad snowplowing methods. Either way, people tend to get hung up on big moraines of plowed snow that cross the intersections at right angles, because the municipal plows just plow the streets in…
