And assuming that all ten year olds go there looking for birth control options (as opposed to health or puberty questions) and all (6) ten year olds have IUDs forced upon them before their parents can object. IUDs weren’t even controversial when my mother got one, and they are much safer, cheaper and easier now.

I think the outfit is kinda offensive, but not because it’s supposed to be lion. I mean, clearly Cecil the lion would have a radio collar and she does not. But she looks like someone dipped her in glitter and gave her the hood off a winter coat. That much glitter doesn’t look good on anyone.

“Some kid who was having attention problems with specifically the cheerleaders”

Not going to elect a joke, thanks.

I changed GP because of that nonsense. I felt like I couldn’t trust the medical advice of someone who had a big poster about praying in the waiting room.

I’m starting to wonder if she even knows that she’s lying. Her defense is basically “I’m rubber and you’re glue . . . “

Of course they care about women! Why without their loving care and vigilance women would be likely to just wander around getting abortions for fun and lying about being raped. If they were paid the same as men, well, they might choose to keep working rather than getting married and pregnant.

I’m pretty sure you don’t get severence pay when fired for illegal & immoral behavior. Even then it’s generously one week for every year you’ve worked there, plus payout for unused vacation.

When I worked at a grocery store bakery I had a teen come in with her grandmother. Grandmother gravely informs me that teen is seriously allergic to peanuts but wants a special treat. I inform her that our bakery is not allergen free so she’ll need to check out the freezer section for the allergen free, gluten free…

Pigs are scary smart animals. People can’t even handle training smart dogs. Just ‘cause it’s little doesn’t mean it isn’t going to tear up the carpet for bedding, tear up the yard rooting, scream when touched unexpectedly, pee in the pool or water dish . . . and that’s just the normal behavior.

Maybe if planned parenthood also provided viagra and penis pumps they’d be safer from legislative poisoning. That stuff never has trouble getting funded.

It boggles my mind that she would think that paying employees is optional under any circumstances. How can you trust a someone to run the country if she feels it’s appropriate to steal $30,000 from a widow? That’s some sociopathic behavior. Even Scrooge paid his employees.

I have heard the argument that the availability of cheap Irish labor (and later Asian labor) in the northern states is what kept them from adopting slavery in the same way as the south — which meant that they could be morally superior later in leading the way to abolish slavery country-wide.

I’m really hoping that she was invited because someone wanted the pope to tell her she was a twit.

The pope did spend a lot of time meeting with prisoners without endorsing their actions. I guess it’s reasonable that Kim Davis being in the same room as the pope does not actually imply his support, just the interest of someone higher up in the church.

I didn’t do edible favors at my wedding because I knew a few family members would manage to be allergic to whatever I picked (or it’s insufficently vegetarian, or made by slave labor in Thailand, or some flavor someone doesn’t like). I gave out multicolored stretchy gloves instead, because it was a winter wedding and…

I was thinking a less permanent way to remove vision — dark sunglasses, glasses with the wrong prescription, eye mask, even bandages. Maybe removing sight without actually damaging it might be enough to satisfy the neurological haywire. At the very least ‘practicing’ blindness allows for easier adjustment to the…

I did. But I will research anything for no reason at all (which reminds me I still need to look up what tree frogs do during the winter).

True. It’s a creepy mental disorder, but it’s thought to be caused by a neurological flaw where the brain does not recognize a portion of the body as “belonging” to the body. Like waking up with a third arm one morning, and not understanding why everyone says it should be there. It’s like the reverse of phantom limb…

My mom used to train assistance dogs — all labs and goldens. The most impressive trick was that they learned to open the fridge, retrieve a single item and NOT eat everything else.
