WoDM and I had a big discussion about the age of consent last night, one which I continued in my head this morning. The conclusion I came to was this - the earliest age the courts decide to try a juvenile as an adult should be the age of consent.
Legally, the decision to try [...]

WoDM and I went to a thrift store last weekend, in between picking up party supplies and going to the Asian Market.  We mostly went to the thrift store for cheap vinyl since his family gifted us with their record player, and we did, in fact, get plenty of cheap vinyl (I don’t remember all of it) [...]

Kara posted a few days ago about her decision to quit the Shangri-La diet. I’m quitting as well. In fact, I have quit — it’s been almost two weeks since I last took the olive oil.

At least, that’s what’s been reported secondhand in the American press. Perhaps I’m not actually defending him here, but I did want to find out what his exact words were.

Bush has appointed someone to oversee Federal Family Planning Programs at the Department of Health and Human Services.  If you know anything about this administration, you have a pretty good idea what that means.  Let me linky to an article wherein they pull some absurd quotes.  Let me remind you, this woman is in charge [...]

My wallet was delivered!  I can hardly wait to come home to its canvas-y goodness.  Hopefully they left it at the door, because if it’s at the office, I won’t get it until Friday or Saturday at the earliest.
In the daycare here, they take care of very young (read, less than 6 months old) babies.  [...]
