CONTRACEPTION FROM ALABAMA TO WYOMING....How does your state rank in providing easy access to contraception and family planning services? Not good enough, says the Guttmacher Institute:

Guttmacher's president and CEO, Sharon Camp, warned that obstacles to contraception at the state level could derail efforts, dating from the Clinton administration, to cut the rate of unintended pregnancies by 40 percent by 2010.

...."We need to be making contraception easy for women, but in many states we're actually making it harder," said Camp. "When effective contraceptive use rises, abortion rates go down."

Huh. Illinois is 42nd.

The top five include California and New York (no surprise) and Alabama, South Carolina, and Alaska (surprise!). Overall, the rankings clearly don't follow the red/blue divide you'd expect. Peculiar.

yay for flea bay boy to be !

and that kind of review sucks. the point of a review - to praise the employee where they are doing well and tell them where they can improve. and then a raise. how can you suddenly decide that nothing an employee is doing is right? but I am confused by something that is on my resume. the word trustworthy. Why would you hire anyone that you don't have above average trust in?

No, I know it's Tim, because he said it to my face.

Perfect example of when "nice" is so much better than "funny".

I so wanted to say the thing we always said about "Angel" in the office: "Some gay porn? Less gay."

Thank you, Nilly!!!

It came to mind when someone linked the skating Cowboy show and hasn't left my head, since.

Yes! I remembered it right! I mean, since it's impossible to validate what he actually said in conversation, I'm going to hold onto this as proof of my rightness.

Anyone here have PMP certification? I'm looking at the forms you have to fill out outside of the test, and I don't wanna anymore. They seem worse than the test itself.

You are the rightest. But you are not nearly as right as that cowboy skating show is gay.

flea, I have a friend who is significantly shorter than both her parents

Well, so am I (I'm the shortest in my family at 5'7"), but I swear I wasn't drinking and drugging my way through adolescence.

On the downside, it's given me some really screwy ideas of values for short and tall. I attended a wedding once where the bride and groom were both about 5'4", and I felt like a giraffe.

That's what you say now, Nutty. About the drinking and drugging, I mean.

Public arena. We understand.

No Ita Moon. HoYAY? So gay. Not as gay as Angel -- some gay porn less than Angel.

So I think everyone can be right. Yay.
