I think it has to do with the poster's security settings? Like, if it's limited to only his friends, or whatever, then you can't share.

My first world problem of the night: I don't know how many of the SO's tour stops this winter to tag along for. They're almost all in Indiana, so they're within two hours of where I'll be. It would be even easier if I were in Indianapolis, but my niece is now living with the SO's folks.

But I'll have the dog, so it'll be, either, leave the dog at my folks' house (which is normally fine, but my sister's fam will be there too, with her kids. It's not that I don't trust the kids, it's just that I would want to supervise.) or kennel the dog (and he'll already be kenneled twice during the trip) or take the dog (and thus miss the shows, but have the SO for hotel nights and travel). I dunno!

I think I've decided to wait for an actual news story, rather than word-of-mouth (which is what I currently have), and then re-post it.

Liese, where in Indiana?

Bad news, over the course of the weekend both of our toilets clogged, plunging be damned.

Good news, emergency maintenance call and they are both snaked and working.

Right now I'll take this perk of apartment living.

Shrift, did you try this place [link] ?

Any hardware store ought to carry the part. American Standard is a common brand.

I probably could find something at Home Depot, since I imagine they have more selection than Ace Hardware, but after the debacle that was my hunt for a side mount toilet tank lever, I'm just ordering the exact part I need.

And then I will spend election night with my hands in a toilet.

Shrift, did you try this place

Oh, right. That's across the street from Deluxe. I'll keep that in mind the next time I have hardware needs.

I think I just stepped over the line on Facebook. No way to pull back.

I don't think you should.

I'm so sick of the Pro-Life Fetus Fetish. If you want to stop abortions, support a political agenda that will help make them unnecessary. Don't like Planned Parenthood--MAKE IT UNNECESSARY. Support universal healthcare, subsidized child care, tax credits, increased education spending, paid maternal leave, comprehensive sex education and the ready availability of contraception.

GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

OMG yes, Cashmere. The refusal to support birth control on the part of the anti-abortion crowd really torpedoes any argument that they're not about controlling sexuality.

On the other hand, quite a number of them are pretty open about wanting to control sexuality. They just don't see how it's really not possible to do it. If we could just write the laws perfectly, teenagers would stop having sex!

(That a full third* of women getting abortions are already mothers doesn't seem to factor into their paradigm...)

* possibly a quarter, I don't recall precisely
