Mmff! 🚒🚑🚲🚲🚲⚠️⬇️⬇️⬇️🎭🎭🎭🆘💲💲💲 http://bndfr.com/Yx4qg These photos are my journey with #Diabetes since I was diagnosed in December 2015.

    I rode my bike 41.1 miles at Tour de Cure Chicagoland yesterday, one of the premier fundraising events of the American Diabetes Association. I fell over twice, got poop-bombed by a bird, and got my particles accelerated riding through Fermiland's beautiful prairie campus.

    I hurt everywhere, I've got an amazing variety of bruises, and my bike is covered with mud. I rode my heart out and cheered myself hoarse for other diabetic Red Riders like me, and for everybody on Team Red Chicago. It. Was. Awesome. Fundraising for the event ends July 15, so there's still time to help me #fightdiabetes. I've raised $2207.00 so far, hoping to reach my goal of $2900.00 by then. Every little bit helps to #fightdiabetes! American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure Read at Google+

    Why Is There A Statute Of Limitations On Child Abuse?

    June 11, 2015 - By 

    Yet another upstanding Christianist conservative escaped criminal charges for child abuse because the SOL had passed. Huckabee sure knows how to pick his associates. Interesting detail about the minutes of his church's board of deacons – he was kicked out of the diaconate and later excommunicated over the second victim's statements, which they found credible and "heinous." But the law can do nothing. _John Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits,…
