Baths

I just say you really haven't lived until you've been locked into a remodeled bathroom for an hour. You know, one that has a locking mechanism but no door handle and a window too small for your hips, and a dead bolt type tongue so you couldn't do ye olde credite carde poppe like you can in old bathrooms. The good thing about being locked into a remodeled bathroom is that it's nice. It would be much worse to be locked into an un-remodeled bathroom, one that looked like, say - the bathroom in Train Spotting. That would be desperate straits.
But I managed to lock myself into a nice clean newly remodeled bathroom, so I count myself lucky.

Abstinence of the Week

The New York Times interviewed Rhonda Arias, a woman whose life work is preaching to women who have had abortions and who have been emotionally harmed by it.

She has two daughters, who she raised up right, telling them about contraception - oops I mean - abstinence, saving yourself for marriage, keeping your virginity. She came home from a trip and her 17 year old had some news for her! Surprise!

She's quoted as saying:

"Abstinence works better than birth control, really. It's just that people don't do it."

Well really, Rhonda, that's the point people do do it!

Too bad she didn't tell her daughter about lesbians. That's the sure fire lifestyle to prevent unwanted pregnancy!
