Much, much -ma to you and your wee one and your placenta, Fiona. I'm all worried and happy for you at the same time and channelling it all into big waves of -ma.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Departments that issue policy decisions should not use form emails if they are going to make special cases. Special case != blanket policy and they shouldn't be surprised to get called on it when they don't even bother to mention it is a special case.
AND STOP POINTING AT ME.
I just implement, even their shitty instructions.
God I hate today.
Environmentalists say that no one will want to eat the partially human-derived food because it will smack of cannibalism.
You know, the way I feel about people right now....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Fiona! I had no idea you had a placenta! I wish it and you the very best of health.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Crap. I forgot about mother's day. To Lush I go.

Fiona, all the best of health to you and your daughter.

Look at one of the provisions of the new Energy Bill.
From the article. [link]
For example, language agreed to by House-Senate negotiators would, for the first time, end a requirement that construction activities related to oil and gas exploration operate with a permit under the Clean Water Act.
And...
Democrats and environmental organizations are also objecting to a provision in the bill that exempts fluids used in hydraulic fracturing from the law that regulates the underground injection of liquid wastes.
The drilling procedure involves injecting a mixture of fluids and sand under very high pressure to crack rock and coal seams, aiding the escape of trapped oil and gas. The technique is spreading because of a boom in drilling for methane gas in coal beds. Most of the richest lodes are adjacent to vast underground drinking water reservoirs.
EPA, in an initial assessment of the impact published last summer, concluded there was a low risk of drinking-water contamination. But it invited public comment.
However, Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., and Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., who are drafting a compromise House-Senate energy bill, rejected Senate-passed language that would have allowed EPA to continue to study the issue, subject to a review by the National Academy of Sciences.
Instead, they adopted the full exemption included in the House-passed version of the energy legislation.
So not only are energy companies exempt from the Clean Water Act for this procedure, the EPA is not allowed to study the health effects.
This is just plain evil.

Cash, yay! I don't know about the rest of the country, but in Northern California those are the #1 top best-ever most favoritest AIFG!-itastic toddler boots ever. Rainy days, sunny days, around the house, at preschool and church and birthday parties and pretty much everywhere but bed. They are crazy loyal to those boots.

What's really funny is that when DH was about three years old, his mother got him some regular, little, yellow rain boots and he wore them ALL THE TIME. To bed. Everywhere. There are pictures. So if O's anything like his dad, he'll be very attached to the boots.
