Dawn ,'Selfless'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
That reminds me, does anyone know of a menstrual app? I need to keep track in one place, instead of various calendars and pieces of paper.
For Android? I use this one [link] (but, despite the focus of the article, I am not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon, and it's just as useful if you're not). I am not an iPhone, though - don't know if it's on there.
Yuk, Dana - food poisoning is really sucky. I hope you feel better soon.
The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the lower court ruling that California Prop 8 is unconstitutional.

And that is an awesome thing! I look forward to officiating a wedding of same sex partners. Aw heck, anyone. Have yet to hitch anyone.
Of course, this ruling will be appealed on one level or another, so odds are the injunction will stay in place for a while longer. But hey, it's one step closer!

Isn't there only one level above the 9th Circuit? The Supremes?
The only appeal would be to the Supreme Court. And then it would have to be one of the 1% of submitted cases to be accepted. By most measures a District Court of Appeals decision is the precedent-setting one, until and unless the SC picks it up.
Heh, what David said, only wordier.
They could appeal to have it heard by the entire 9th Circuit.
The ruling is good, but it's very narrow, applying only to the had-the-right-then-revoked-it situation in California. They specifically declined to rule on the broader issue of the constitutionality of banning same-sex marriage.
I do not want to go down to San Diego to deal with my family tomorrow. Alas, it's what I'll be doing.
Late coming in, but de-guiltify Omnis! It's one strike. Unless you had multiple speakers built into the set in such a way that not having someone super skilled could result in carpenters being blown up while doing scenic strike, you really didn't need to be there. There are further days.
In completely unrelated news, I am ON VACATION! At my Dad's house just had a 1/4 glass of really nice wine along with some cheese and crackers for lunch. Woot! Totally getting ready for a nice french island. His glasses are rather large. I might be slightly buzzed. Listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me while surfing the internet. Life is really good right now in my world. Let me share the glow with all of you! Beams and rays of buzzed awesomeness to all!

But isn't that precisely the issue on which everything turned? That the constitutional right had been revoked by popular vote?
