Check this out -
State troopers are confiscating tampons, maxi pads and other potential projectiles from those who are entering the Texas capitol to watch the debate and vote on a controversial anti-abortion bill. Guns, however, which are typically permitted in the state capitol, are still being allowed.
WHAT?!!! Please tell me someone is making this up. Link please.
What if someone has a tampon shoved up their twat? Do they have to hand it over?

Damn, that's a bigass photo. If y'all have blown margins, tell me and I'll come back and edit it out.

The world has gone crazy. So they're concerned about pro-choice folks throwing tampons at the senators?? They should just throw their shoes like other cultures.
This is a piece of legislation that might have passed without the add-on's. It restricted abortions over 20 weeks or something (ok) but also effectively shut down a huge number of abortion providers in the state. Shame.

I don't have a problem with the 20 week rule I do have a problem with them closing most abortion clinics in Texas though.

I had a yen for red meat last night, I rarely eat it because it's difficult for me to get past where it comes from. I grilled a steak & as I was cutting a bite size piece to stick in my mouth I came across a piece of yuk, yuk something that was like a string *gags* I got an immediate picture in my mind of the Boston Marathon victim, the one in the wheelchair that was quickly being pushed with the guy in the cowboy hat running alongside him while pinching the young man's artery closed. *heaves*

It has veins & yuk and I'm terrified of that getting in my mouth. Help.

Interesting segue from abortions to eating red meat. I'd be troubled too, Duchess.

I thought I had all the time in the world. What's the hurry, I would ask. Time is fleeting and it took me too long to learn that.

John Wayne died with about 15-20 lbs of undigested red meat in his intestines.

Amazing. My husband is taking my son to Utah tomorrow. My son just asked yesterday to bring a friend or 2 and my husband agreed if their families purchased their airline tickets...for tomorrow! For 6 nights! Just got one kid tickets; the other family is working on it. Talk about last minute. Sheesh.

Not as bad as I expected. $600 round trip Oakland to SLC. Friend 2 just got his ticket; my son could walk on clouds to get there now.
ETA: I guess I shouldn't be surprised the parents made it work. $600 to send your kid away to luxury accommodations in Park City for 7 days? Not bad. Hell, I'd pay $600 just to send mine away for 7 days. Who cares where they go.

I think it's awesome that you can give someone elses kids an opportunity they might not otherwise have. This isn't the first time I've seen you mention something like this.

My wife is taking our daughter with one of her friends and her daughter to Alton Tours for a week during the summer holidays. Her friend hasn't got much money so my wife is paying for the lot.
I'm not as nice as my wife.

I just spent the last couple hours on a job site in a hard hat with the sun beating down. My brain is fried.
