Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Oh my God. Where do I even start? First of all, I didn’t watch this trial. Instead I read accounts. I couldn’t watch because I had a bad feeling from the start about it. When I heard the judge had…
#Tampongate????
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. You know the GOP in Texas has completely gone “off the rails” as they say when they instruct the police to confiscate all the tampons women in the gallery have with them. I guess they finally stopped, but good night…
How about a little Compassion?
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Does the GOP care about anyone else besides those people who fill their election coffers? I really have to wonder. The GOP controlled House just passed the Farm Bill without extending food stamps. The Senate had passed their own bill…
Has the Circle of Life become the Circle of Death?
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. So I’m reading the news and I see an article about Oregon temporarily banning pesticides that kill bees. We had a huge amount die in a Wilsonville parking lot a short time ago. Today I read something that seems to…
Really, Senator McCain?
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. So I just read an article from Think Progress (link to great article about an idiot) about a letter John McCain wrote in response to a situation involving sexual harassment and rape at a college in Montana. He is apparently siding with…
A Hemp Flag A-Flyin’
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. A hemp flag will be raised above the Capitol on Thursday, July 4th. How ironic. Do we dare hope that this could mean the government has finally calmed down about hemp, and that legalization is in our future? It’s ridiculous…
I’m safe now…
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. My father died today. I had no relationship with him because of how he treated me growing up. He was a condescending, creepy guy. My friends were creeped out by him. My husband and kids were creeped out by him….
The Greenhouse.
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve had a greenhouse for a long time. I thought I’d use it, but I never have. My husband grew plants in containers in there, but I guess I never got enthused about it and when the RA got worse,…
Harvest time again..
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Harvest time again. This time I grew two Timewrecks and one Cheesequake. Gotta love the names. Apparently everyone who is growing Timewreck really likes it. They both got bigger than the Cheese did – spikier colas. The Cheesequake was squattier.Working…
Oh, Ricky..
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Rick Perry is a shitty guy. He made the predictable, misogynistic response to Wendy Davis’s filibuster of SB5. He’s calling another special session next week to vote the anti-abortion bill into law. And it will be successful unless or until…
Texas is screwing over women again..
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. The Texas legislature is trying to ban abortion statewide with HB60. Extensive testimony was given last night until it was stopped. Rumor has it they may actually vote on Sunday. This is a travesty. It was stated that the testimony…
Farm bill fails..
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. The Farm bill just failed in the House. Cue the Speaker is a Loser comments. But it needed to fail because of the cuts to food stamps that were also contained in the bill. The President had already threatened to…
Classified Document Leaking – Activism or Something Else?
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I don’t know how I feel about this classified document leaking that’s been going on. Like most people, I really do want to know what nonsense my government is up to, but leaking can cause folks to die, so I’m…
Embrace the Confusion?
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I used to try to find meaning in things that happened – like maybe there was an unseen hand at work and whatever happened was for a reason. But I realized the other day that I haven’t done that in…
If it’s raining, it must be Memorial Day weekend..
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Memorial Day weekend. It always rains. This weekend is no exception. So, I made some more oil. I have to say, I sleep so much better now that I’m taking oil in the evening. I planted in the greenhouse this year….
