My 24 year old devoutly religious half-brother and the parents of one my daughter's schoolmates are arguing about the effectiveness of abstinence-based sex education in comments to my Facebook status.
Gah.
Note to self: religion freaky.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ha. The school board in my town voted last night to replace the current abstinence-only sex ed curriculum with one that actually mentions contraception. I posted my pleasure at this step. The paper said we are the ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN GEORGIA that is now (well, will be) teaching about contraception.

I just found out last week that my current school is not allowed to teach contraception. Abstinence only.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought that under the Old Regime, you couldn't get federal money and teach anything other than abstinence-only.

Yeah. A bunch of states declined the federal funding rather than teach abstinence-only. There's a new set of guidelines that's supposed to be voted on soon.

Sewing is only cheaper if you are either making couture level clothes or things for small children with $1 a yard fabric. This did n ot used to be the case, but since sewing has become a hobby, the mark-up on fabric is insane. If I ever sewed for mself, because I am pretty good, it would be cheaper than buying a good suit, but oi the time!
I am working at the costume shop tonight even though I planned to have it off because of my debacle of a yesterday. I am so tired and my eyes and sinuses still hurt from crying yesterday. Also, I am being treated to a joint student production of The Who's Tommy, which is REALLY off key (my shop is next to and under auditoriums. I think it is a rehearsal, because they keep starting and stopping.

OMG, the girl playing Tommy's mother is spectacularly awful. Smash the Mirror is a really hard song, and you need someone pretty good to make it not suck.
