National Day of Prayer ruled unconstitutional.
Sorry, Tep's boss!
Hey, I love getting that extra random day off! It's next week, actually. Woot!
There's nothing unconstitutional about an employer giving employees a day off and calling it Prayer Day.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

This will give me two months to get emails from places that I have that other address registered, right?
theoretically. I say that because I moved over a year ago and am still finding that some places are still clinging to old email addresses. Even though I'm sure I notified them of the change way back when!

Keep breathing!
Quick catch-up:
Hugs to all who still need them.
Kudos to the grade-getting, house-getting, interview-getting and healthier-getting among us.
AZ law: not a great idea, but somebody's gotta do something and the feds aren't doing it. Build the wall! It worked to keep terrorists out of Israel.
Seriously, any country has to be able to define its borders and its citizens. If you can't do that, you're going to lose your country in one way or another (militarily, economically, culturally, whatever - and culture does not necessarily equal white here, I mean this in general terms). I do worry about terrorists coming across the border one day. It does bother me that some people work and wait to get citizenship and others come in illegally. I do see the strain on public services and local budgets from illegals.
This is one of those things with too many parts to fix easily - I think the kid who was carried over the border at age 2 has lived here his whole life should be able to go to college - but you have to start somewhere and AZ is at least willing to try. So I'm hoping the public debate will be about what to do and not about how "racist" people are...
National Day of Prayer:
I've never liked the national day of prayer because it's the President asking people to pray in an official capacity.So which is Thanksgiving? Other presidents have called Americans to worship and give thanks on that day in more recent times too (early 20th c).
Ah! I missed that part. That I do take issue with. But if it were "just a holiday", I wouldn't have much issue with it.
And fathers? They don't babysit their kids. They parent their kids. Guys who don't get that really irk me.

I would find it mildly disturbing to eat Rowlf the Dog, though.
Probably not disturbing enough *not* to, but still. They're frigging *perfect*.
