When I didn’t have health insurance, PP was my go to. It saves so many lives.

If you’re a monk, you make beer or wine.

It’s not in my kitchen anymore, because I’m pretty sure I tossed it. It was more of a practical instruction tool for my older son on not buying cool looking gadgets off the TV:

I get chills sometimes. But I have one really weird reaction that I haven’t seen anyone else lay claim to: at live events, when a soprano sings opera, I start crying. Not sobbing, crying, but tears pour down my cheeks. It happened the first time I went to an opera, and the last time, which was a fundraising concert…

Guess what roams around the hills of Silicon Valley? Mountain lions. I wish some of the idiots around here would get too close, but they’d probably kill the mountain lion.

I have arthritis in my spine and fibromyalgia. It’s uncomfortable on my bad days to wear layers (I live in a lovely temperate area), so I’ve got a heater under my desk. It’s legal because it has a tip over switch, and I’m happy I can sit and absorb it. At a different desk, I had to call several times to get someone to…

I lived in a county in Nevada with legal prostitution. It was a better, safer situation.

Prostitutes are often victims simply because the police don’t give a fuck about them. They find dead prostitutes, eh, NBD, donut time. They assume the families, if the women have families in the area, won’t care because often the women are addicts without support.

To be honest, I’m not sure. Either Missouri or Kansas, I believe. She grew up in an Oddfellows home that was a combination of retirement home and orphanage. She said that having the older people there was great, because many of them acted as grandparents to the kids.

Probably. But, really, besides the opera house and harbor, Sydney is pretty much any other coastal city, which is why it could fill in for Hong Kong.

My grandmother was five when her parents died in the Spanish Influenza after WWI. Her relatives took out only some photos and her father’s glasses in their metal case before the neighbors burned the house to the ground.

As a teen, I had two semi-rotten much younger sisters who would gang up and make my life miserable, as they are wont to do. My parents let them stay up and watch what I think was the original Night Stalker pilot with the vampire. BTW, I have larger/longer than average canines, similar to the vampires in Interview with…

We have to get away from the great events by great men of history.

I think I watched part of that. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were murdered for trying to get away.

Just saw this on Twitter:

Because it was in New Zealand, and New Zealand is damned beautiful.

FYI, the ending left me nauseated and hating all men. Usually I just hate most men and I have a strong stomach.

My religious beliefs dictate that men who can’t get it up, shouldn’t get it up; it’s the gods letting you know your time is done. I want an exception so that I don’t have to pay for ED meds or surgery.

I’m a parent, and having to take the children out, even when you don’t want to, happens. However, your child having a meltdown because you decided to shop all day and couldn’t be bothered to keep them fed, hydrated and rested is not acceptable. Neither is expecting a toddler to deal with a busy restaurant just because…

I’m all for free permanent/semi-permanent birth control for everyone. And the right of business owners to toss customers whose kids don’t behave. I’m stick of parents taking advantage of stores being afraid to have complaints made to the head office when they let their kids run rampant. I have a basilisk ice stare of…
