a big part of the US church is actively pushing to kill the bill outright because it's insufficiently pro-life. As in, diocesan officials putting notices in weekly parish bulletins telling people to call their representatives and say, "As a Catholic, I believe this bill is fundamentally immoral and I want you to vote it down"
I don't think I've heard any analysis that that says the bill makes abortions easier to obtain. I guess they view it as an opportunity missed to really restrict things more. To me it sounds a bit like, "This energy bill doesn't restrict abortions enough, it must be voted down", I mean it really isn't an abortion bill.
Ironically, Google Chrome just informed me that the Lazarus extension died and gave me the option to restart it.
Scrappy, you just inspired me to get down on the floor of my office and try to roll up all slow-sit-up-style with my legs straight down the whole time. I'm not sure if I was doing it properly Pilates-style or what, but I was able to do it. So maybe I was wrong, or maybe you ARE a freak! Or possible the fact that my brains have been replaced by SNOT has affected the weight of my head.
Also, I changed my sentence to "get down on the floor" because my brains refused to tell me if that should be "inspired me to lie down" or "inspired me to lay down". Help me, Bitches.
since even after many months of taking class, I can. not. do. it. I am getting better, but I still can't do it,
Are you getting stuck at a certain point, Scrappy? You might find another exercise to work on the particular section of abdominal muscles that are slowing your progress.
It took me a long time to get to the point where I could do one post abdominal surgery.

OOh, good point. I have never had abdominal surgery, unlike Scrappy, or Sparky. I should not change my name to to something starting wtih with S, and ending in y.
When I was taking Pilates I'd grab my pants and pull on them to give myself the little extra I needed to get up.
Got a few more rejections today. I emailed a few to ask about the status of the search, and I heard back from one, where I am not one of the top 48 out of the 250 or so applications they received. (That was the one where the interviewer seemed very displeased when I said that, for many students, learning to follow an argument through and learning how numbers work is more important than the specific content of the math class.)
However, based on the numbers I've been seeing, there was a huge drop in the number of applications for jobs posted after the middle of January -- jobs posted before that got over 200 applications, and jobs posted after that got around 100. I've been applying to everything I've seen since then, so that's upping the odds a bit.
Also, spent today on crutches. Worked pretty well, actually. I think that I usually end up limping on days when my ankle hurts a lot, and that ends up twisting my opposite hip somewhat. With the crutches, I can keep my legs straight because I don't have to put as much weight on my ankle, and so my hip feels better, too.
Note to self: brown rice does not enhance sushi. Still, it's what's for lunch.
