I wish people would stress the fact that birth control is not always about birth control, but has hormonal health uses as well. I’ve met so many people, usually men but not always, who have absolutely no idea that BC is used to balance out hormones. Making BC unaffordable or illegal can be less like Viagra and more…

To many of these guys, being fat means that a woman cannot be smart, because if they were smart, they would not be fat! So there is no need to address the message at all, because the fat women are not smart and therefore wrong.

Well, out of curiosity I did the math (correctly I think), using my pre-ACA IUD price of $500 and my latest protest sign purchase of about $5. My signs were in a 3-pack, so that makes about 300 signs. Plus, I splurged on premium foamboard that was pre-cut into easily carried dimensions. 

It’s the relative that pretty much everyone has decided can go kick rocks. We all avoid her as much as possible at mandatory family gatherings.

Right, right, I always forget that part.

My dad kinda did that too. To be absolutely fair to my parents, they worked opposite shifts- he worked nights and she worked days. I was raised by Big Bird and Pee-Wee Herman.

So, considering how Trump criticised Obama for signing executive orders, how many has Trump signed since Friday?

Yuuup. My poor husband had to make lunch for the Mini and then they watched a movie together. Granted, I was at a local march, so I was only gone the afternoon and evening. Still, it harkened back to the time when I got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Europe for 2 weeks, and a relative chastised me for being…

I’ve taken one graduate level education class for my degree, and I tutored younger kids in reading when I was in middle school. I’m more qualified then DeVos.

I can’t decide which thought is more frightening:

I can’t get a decent adulting job without a degree, an advanced degree, excellent grades, 10+ years experience, passing a screening test that determines if I’ll “fit in” with their company culture, passing a drug test, and yet these yahoos are in charge of our entire country.

I am amazed at how well this political nightmare has meshed with the current SNL cast. It’s not quite as iconic as the Tina Fey/Sarah Palin era, but so many of the current cast members have just slid almost effortlessly into their roles. Plus, the material is almost writing itself and Trump is melting down nearly…

Pretty much. One sister survived because she had emigrated to Israel either before or early into the war. I think he had distant uncle(s) in America, but I haven’t been able to find a darn thing about them except for a maddeningly short blurb on a form. But considering he had 5 siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc,…

Yup, that’s how my grandpa survived the war. Arrested by Soviets and spent time in a Gulag just north of Khazakstan. He gained “freedom” by fighting with the Polish forces of the Soviet Army at the end of the war. When the war was over and he went home, nobody was left.

Well, I guess that’s one way of uniting a divided country...

Steal away!

She roots through laundry baskets, finds socks, and then throws them around like cat toys. Around midnight, she starts to mewl at high volume, with laundry in her mouth, prancing around the house proudly. We find a lot of stray socks in the middle of our kitchen from her hunts.

Do not let his faux tuxedo fool you, he is a shmoopy spy.

I’m in. I can play the triangle.

Oh ugh, that sounds rough. Could be anything from weather to general exhaustion to a combination of everything.
