Women's Issues Random Thoughts

[EllieP]

When I was a struggling single mom I had one bra that would fit. I have never told a soul how long I wore it between washings, and I never will!

I worry about the last two rulings handed down by the Supreme Court
One a clear sign that Roe v Wade might well be overturned.
The other a clear indication that LGBTQ civil rights take a back seat to bigotry masquerading as Christian faith.

Americans are interesting, and I can say that because I am one. But we are never defeated. I mean we lose the war, but the battles go on. The South lost the Civil War, but tell someone from Alabama or Georgia. They're still fighting.

The religious nuts are appealing a law that was hard fought, and every little battle they win is chipping away at the Constitution. Sharia Law? Hell, Christian Law is just as bad if you're not a Christian.

My Mum and I had so many arguments over the latter. I said, "OK, you get Christianity as the law of the land. Which kind of Christian? Holy water and sign of the cross or snake chunkers? Or maybe the God Hates Fags kind?" Strangely enough, that did not end the argument.

Was discussing this in politics, but that ruling didn't make it that far in the logic process. Supreme court basically issued a technical foul.

This exact same baker could still get in legal trouble again if he were to deny a wedding cake to a gay couple. The court didn't rule his discrimination justified, they just ruled that Colorado was acting so bigoted that their policing of the issue got thrown out (kinda like someone being arrested and pushed for a confession w/o being read their miranda rights... doesn't mean their crime was legal, just that severe legal errors were made during the handling of it).

I can't help but lump this ruling in with the administration's rulings against LGBTQ issues. Like, The Court searched for any reason to side with the baker. Throwing a technically down the shoot is still a win for the right. Precedence is a bitch.

The right will act on TV like it's a win, but in terms of actual reality it's not. It's a narrow ruling, meaning it applies only to this case and cannot be cited in any other court case. 2 of the liberal justices (and 1 moderate) signed on to the ruling.

What's a shame is that if Colorado had treated this case fairly, I think we would've seen a broad ruling in favor of the gay couple. But when Colorado calls the baker a liar and compares him to a nazi murderer it created too shakey of a foundation to build any established law on top of.

MisterB (I think) was talking about me always getting into spats with one of the progressive posters in politics sections and this case is a good example of why I think that progressive passion can be counterproductive when it comes to making actual progress. Pushes straight past "pro-gay" and into "anti-Christian" and progress gets halted because people start acting like morons (see also: Antifa).

Humans aren't supposed to drink coke; it's poisonous. Can you think of a healthy alternative?

Are frozen margaritas healthy?

Are frozen margaritas healthy?

Yes, if you tweak the recipe and omit the alcohol.
Alternatively, I do have half a Terry's chocolate orange if you'd like? I'm sure that's healthy, it's probably got some oranges in it, - at least one of your 5 a day.

I would love a frozen margarita, please. Can’t have one right now so that means I really, really one want.

And it’s super healthy if you use fresh limes!

I don't know if this is a women's issue or what, but my mom died Monday night in our home. Which I'm glad for, because she had a DNR and did not want to go to a hospital to be kept on some kind of a life support. But it was SO HARD hearing that death gurgle for two days while the hospice nurse fed her morphine and lorazepam. I am so sad. They took her medical equipment yesterday and we finally opened the room today. It feels so weird. I miss my mommy

Cat farts are stinkier than dog farts, even though their butts are smaller.

Bless you for making it possible for your mom to leave this mortal coil the way she wished. I know how awful the last few days are. My dad died in our home under hospice care ten years ago. If you prefer to talk to other women I fully understand ... I just happened to be here at this moment and I salute you.

I miss my mommy

I caught a lump in my throat, I feel genuine feels for you. No matter how ready we tell ourselves we are to lose a loved one, we never really are. It hurts no matter what.

Here's to your wonderful mother, and the life she lived, and gave

Said perfectly! You’ll always miss your mom, but you’ll learn to live with it. What makes it tolerable is the love you shared.
