Rick Santorum says that abortion is the reason Social Security will be in trouble [link]. If we had enough unwanted children coming into the workforce, everything would be peachy.

(Yes, I know SS is fine, but they really just want to cut it).

I've got the front yard as shorn and swept as it's getting today, taken a shower, and now I will relax with a nice cup of cocoa spice tea. I doubt I will get anything else done today.

Santorum, ptui.

All kinds of getting-through-it ~ma for you and your family. That's a whole lot all at once.

Ok, chat is over. He gave me his phone number. Accckkkk. I don't know how to do this. Last time I dated was in the 1980's. Eeeeeeeeeeppppp.

Timelies all!

Aw, adorable Nilly baby!

SuziQ - sounds like you are rockin' it. (gentle encouragement)

You had a good conversation, that is always the best first step.

Whoo, Suzi!

OK, somebody flying a fighter jet is buzzing our building. Or there's some damn freaky loud rolling thunder parked right on top of us.

Oh, Sue. So much -ma to your parents and the rest of youse.

Good thing I have three siblings, or we'd be pretty stretched.

We talked about my mom cancelling her cataract procedure, but she's been waiting since at least December for this appointment. The good thing is that it's happening in the same hospital where my dad is, so depending on how she's feeling, she can just go visit my dad afterward.
