https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/thousands-of-texans-have-tried-to-give-selves-171908821.html I swear it seems I know people more than I realize. I guess it just comes from looking at history. I’ve repeatedly told my mother that banning abortions is not a good idea, no matter how much you hate the idea of abortions. Women who would have an abortion are just that desperate, they’ll […]

http://thebloggess.com/2015/09/im-broken-im-furiously-happy-both-of-these-things-are-true/ Both of these are true for me too. I’m broken, a friend’s brother and another friend’s father died, my sister, my cousin & a friend’s 4 year old have been diagnosed with cancer. I’m looking for the things to be furiously happy. I got to visit Vermont, I’m in my house. I’m spending time […]

For some of it, I just roll my eyes and scroll past. Like the composting toilet, which is illegal in many areas anyway. Sometimes it posts things that are […]

Get out of the kitchen. But what happens when it’s 100+ outside and you’re trying to work in a house without ac? I think I ended up making myself sick a week ago. I spent the week drinking extra water, and I’m still not feeling 100%. Then again, I haven’t been feeling 100% in a […]
