Abortion is something no woman ever wants to go through, but when politicians in conservative states are passing laws that make medically necessary abortions illegal, that bothers me immensely. Knowing these laws are on the books in Nebraska and Oklahoma are enough reason that I could ill afford to live in these states. I respect the pro-life movement, but not those who are turning it neurotic. How about instead of outlawing abortions, let's destigmatize birth control and contraception as a whole.
When I heard about this crash, I thought of a girl I know from Clifton Park along with the accident in the Malone area (not sure if it was North Bangor) which happened nearly two years ago. The crash on the Northway happened last year, the one in my area happened two. In both accidents, a student athlete was killed, and drugs were involved. Regardless, these affects of these accidents are lifelong; the guilt, the sorrow, the physical and mental issues. But for Bailey Wind, losing a boyfriend in the accident made a tragedy even worse. Granted though, the human spirit that can result in someone standing tall and continuing to carry on is sometimes the best psychological treatment one can receive. Props to the diver from Colonie!
This weekend, the GOP tweeted that racism is over. It isn't, far from it in fact. Even prejudice towards certain groups of Caucasian Americans isn't over. Try being a disabled American, regardless of race. The GOP even had to correct the tweet they had made.
Bismark, North Dakota. Almost as irrelevant as Plattsburgh, New York. Awesome, right? WRONG! Perfect for Ron Burgundy, also known as Will Ferrell. Here's one for the girls: I want to take one of you to see Anchorman 2 when it comes out.
For every mother out there who have dealt with BS while trying to breastfeed, Holly McNish is your new hero. And the young mother has a darn good point. We've become boob obsessed in bad ways. A woman shouldn't have to resort to a bloody restroom stall to breastfeed.
Yeah, props to this interior designer for pointing out the fallacy of sitcom apartments. They're not realistic. I was born in a grungy hospital to a couple living in a one-bedroom apartment.
To the woman who wrote this: GET A GRIP! I understand that you are traumatized by having a child with autism. Here's the thing: you use fluoride when you brush your teeth, I probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for acetaminophen. Yes, I came close to death as an infant. A lot of things cause autism, but you're buying into the Autism Speaks baloney train. Heck, if they had oxytocin treatment, I'd sign up for it. Sure, I'd still have my weird interests and whatnot, but at least I could be a proper social animal and not make an ass out of myself! As long as the oxytocin didn't turn me into a nutcase, I'm good.
I'll admit, when I was dating Cayla, strange stuff started happening with me. Sure, I put on weight, but I also started feeling a high (the same one when I started back in Brewster in the fall of 2005), heck, in fact, most of the stuff described in the Huffington Post article happened to me. My question is this: when do the changes take place? Is it an overnight sort of thing?
Guys, if you're engage, don't go fooling around with another woman, because she might crash your wedding. And don't get her pregnant, either. That's just asking for trouble.
I'm proud that the Obama administration spent $600 million on railroad improvements. The railroads pay taxes and own their right-of-way. It's time we help them out a little. Tax private toll roads? AWESOME!
Buzzfeed is right: New York kicks butt when it comes to the holidays. 999 out of a 100 Americans agree with me that New York idyllic during this magical time of year. Now give me some mistletoe, darn it!!! (I'm also aware of the HORRID, as 999 out of a hundred makes no sense, but I felt like putting it down).
The horrible train accident on Sunday was by no means in part due to a push-pull configuration. Absolutely NOT. Inattentive? maybe. Human error has become quite common as the cause of American railroad fatalities. The engineer should be as part of the investigation required to have a physical, including heart tests. He might have passed out, and his foot on the dead man's pedal would have still been applied. The alerter should have ideally thrown the emergency brakes on. I hope that Metro-North, as part of the positive train control, adopts a tracking system for it's trains. NOTE: 98% of the Hudson Line trains operated today, quite a feat of engineering. I applaud the MTA's quick response to this effort, but it's heartbreaking that this had to happen in the first place, not to mention that a trainset is out of service. I believe earlier today there was a forcast of the MTA not being able to restore nearly full service until next week.
Better yet? Full Hudson Line service tomorrow!
I have a funny feeling that once Francis steps down from the pontiffhood, he's going to come out of the closet. He's the most compassionate pope in a while, and the craziest. He's a human being, and the Catholic Church could use some of that. Do I care that he was a bouncer at a nightclub? Yes, in a good way. It means that he's, despite the title, your average Joe, or should i say Jorge.
And finally, my life is indeed going nowhere. The Onion article describes my life to a "T".
