No, I'm not a whacko tree hugger, but whale strandings make me sad. Scientists know what some of the causes are for it, but capitalistic endeavors preclude life.

The Baby Gap: Explaining Red and Blue

The American Conservative, December 20, 2004
I swear, LOOK AT THAT CHART!
I was gonna say that I'ma gonna break down and move to a red state, even though I generally lean toward blue state ideals, but I already live in a fucking red state. WTF??? Where's mine?

Serena: too nancy to be a boy, too studly to be a girl
Give it a rest, Serena.
You are a tennis player. You only think you're a fashion maven.
Did you hope that the exposed nips would lend you additional (un)coverage, you needy attention-seeking freak?
I'm not alone in my reaction. Here is a rather entertaining foray into the world of Serena's tits, nips, and areolae, from which I must borrow this ditty:
Serena: You know Venus, I think dad is giving us hormones or something.
Venus: Why do you say that?
Serena: I'm growing hair in places where I shouldn't have hair!
Venus: Like where?
Serena: My balls...
Doesn't she look more like a t-girl than anything else? And I don't mean tennis-girl.
"Rupaul makes a more convincing chick," a basher notes. I'll add, "even in fucking wax, dude!"
(In the interest of fair and balanced reporting, I need to include another WTA player particularly deserving of the description t-girl, or perhaps more like l-boy. She's butch. She's earned it. She's proud.)
With my extensive and exhaustive research for this piece (as it should be elevated well beyond mere 'post' status), I find that Serena has done the 'oh so sexy and sheer' thing before. She likey showy titties. I'm sure she'll do it again. She is enamored with herself.
To Serena, I cry, "For the love all that is sacred, you are a tennis player AND a Jehovah's Witness! Remember from whence thee came, ho."
Encouraging to me, at least something of her upbringing remains. She portrays pure and pious with aplomb, keeping her religious roots fresh indeed. In fact, she herself states, "We don't believe in dating unless you're ready to get married. I've never dated anybody. It's good to get experience under your belt but you should never get wild or go crazy. That's how I look at it. If I can't see myself with this person for life - I can't be bothered. I can't waste my time. I have some really good men friends but I believe in no sex before marriage. No fornicating." The vision of chastity, she certainly sounds like she has all her priorities straight.
However, I must plead, "Lindsey, you're #1 again and at the top of your game. Please don't retire. Women's tennis needs your wise, gentle repose. Tennis can't bear to lose both you and Todd in the same year."

Nips & sips for your furbabies!
How many of you are doing this already? Or do you aspire to it? She can't be the first.
Mom Breastfeeds Puppy to Protect Baby
Now I realize why my teats wouldn't shut off for a couple years after I stopped pumping for my son. I wasn't supposed to make another kid, silly, I really was supposed to get a puppy!

This just made my day
I had the J.Lo bottom well before it was cool. Now I probably have a couple of them, cumulatively. Seems that department stores are finally catching up.

I'm warning you...
get the fuck out of my medicine cabinet!
Druggists refuse to give out pill
The idea that pharmacists can actually pick and choose about dispensing prescriptions is scary indeed. Who made them god?
It is infuriating to have people like that in power over women's reproductive choices. Thing is, people like me were on bcp's for endometriosis, pain, and ovarian cysts, not birth control! Problem is, women's reproductive health isn't catered to by insurance, bcp's not being covered. So it isn't just the pharmacists deciding for us; it is the insurance companies, too. Further, bcp's aren't covered, but viagra is. Go figure.
For the religious right, it is a Madonna-whore situation, even if (hehe) fundamentalists aren't generally the Madonna worshippers. (Okay, I'll leave the Catholics out of this one.) They seem to think that their will imposed upon us will change us from being whores back into being Madonnas.
Hmmmm, pharmacists must be using an awful lot of those mind altering drugs they are dispensing.

Let her eat cake
In the past, I have told L that she is the most stubborn person I've ever met. I've also told her that she is spiteful. She didn't get angry at me, she took it in stride, because the comments were specific to actions she had taken. When I pointed it out, even she agreed. But it didn't change how she reacted in the future.
Last week, I picked up L, then swung by P's work to go out for his b'day. L and I were in the car alone for about 30 minutes. Like our drives together in the past, I chatted about silly things, she laughed and contributed, bringing up additional details and new situations. Granted, she was more subdued than when she's with friends, but she talked, responded, participated.
Of course, when we picked up P, she clammed up. Later he made a comment about her probably just listening to CDs while in the car with me. No, I told him, she talked, b/c I'm not her father. She has made P out to be the heavy and P doesn't deserve what she serves him. I get some of the same from my son; it is a custodial parent issue in part. Custodial parents have to worry about wardrobe, eating habits, sleeping habits, grades, extracurricular activities, positive/negative friends, etc... We may be parents, but we're still human. It is a thankless job.
During our drive, L and I got talking about cake and icing. She said that at the birthday celebration of P's previous girlfriend's son a few years ago, he didn't want his cake so L asked if she could have more. She said the icing was so good, that she ate half the cake. Ahhhh, the pleasure of icing! So then I asked her why she had eaten none of her birthday cake this summer? I'd come over, saw the cake on the coffee table. P finally put it in the fridge, throwing the whole thing away a week or so later. She said that her grandmother had come over during the day for her b'day and she was mad at her grandmother, so she didn't want a cake from her, no matter how good the icing might have been. L is just plain spiteful, hardheaded, stubborn, narrow, selfish, should I stop now?, I could just keep listing, on and on, on and on. Unfortunately she and I share the same birthday; I fear that this is how my birthday is going to be for a while.

Those Brits are just so progressive
Imagine: a plentiful supply and variety of adult toys available at your corner drug store. Massage oils, too.

Another mindless indulgence
I have come to realize that I like the odd, the stuff that's not quite mainstream. I'm not particularly odd, so I don't know the appeal. Maybe it is that sneaky voyeur again.
I love to go to the "Oddly Enough" section at Yahoo News. The stories are a hoot. Even if they're not designated as such, there could be Darwin Awards presented daily.
An interesting part of it is the "Notable Quotes" set of entries.
This is one appearing today:
HOLLYWOOD (Reuters) - They really said it -- notable quotes from the news:
"Well, there was no sex for 14 days."
-- California Gov. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER on how his wife, Kennedy scion MARIA SHRIVER, reacted to his speech supporting PRESIDENT BUSH at the Republican National Convention.
How funny! I don't suppose they're ttc, so it doesn't matter. I believe they've probably had enough success in that arena. Not to be callous, but maybe he found some intern to grope instead?
