Y’all. My husband got me this sweet t-shirt for my birthday.  From the gas station.

beer and donuts for dinner cause tomorrow’s my birthday and 31-year-olds don’t do that sort of thing.  please tell me I’m wrong.

New Guy’s a Doods whisperer.

I think they are just melding together to form one super-being.  It’s a process.

This is happening in front of my house for the next year. Yay!

Josh bought this strawberry guy for The Bug and I can’t wait to give it to her because it is starting to creep me out. Somebody needs to tell Creepy complacent strawberry guy that you’re supposed to be stressed out, broke and irritable during the holidays.

I’m not convinced that social workers work with baby hedgehogs.  Nice try, Sociology Degree.

In matters of women’s health, has politics trumped science?

In a surprise move, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stopped the Plan B morning-after pill from moving onto drugstore shelves, deciding Wednesday that young girls shouldn’t be able to buy it on their own.

The Food and Drug Administration was preparing to make Plan B One-Step the nation’s first over-the-counter emergency contraceptive, available for purchase by people of any age without a prescription.

Plan B instead will remain behind the pharmacy counter, as it is sold today — available without a prescription only for those 17 and older who show an ID proving their age.

Sebelius’ reason: Some girls as young as 11 are physically capable of bearing children, and Plan B’s maker didn’t prove that younger girls could properly understand how to use this product without guidance from an adult.

Should young girls be required to obtain a prescription in the 72 hours allotted before the pill becomes ineffective?

Extremely disappointed in the White House Administration over this.  Election year politics over science and fact.  Boooooo

Here’s the Thanksgiving update from Uncle Russ (my fake family who sends mass family letters to my email account).  I don’t know these people, but I am enjoying learning about them!  Uncle Russ’s bread looks pretty good.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL from Dolores and Russ

 

At Val and Pat for Thanksgiving Dinner with our Florida family. We wish all Great eating and a safe Day. Val asked me to prepare my homemade bread. So last night I baked six loaves….3 Italian and 3 Whole Wheat.  Pat took this picture to display my Culinary Art.

Sounds fancy for my breads. Four of the loaves are stuffed with cheeses and salami and

pepperoni. Two are plain…but….Italian is never plain.  Happy Eating to all.
