At flea markets one can often find hundreds of DVDs and BluRays for a couple bucks. A bit of a gamble as some are unplayable, but worth the risk.

Well...a colleague once mentioned to me that you could loose a tooth on a really good bagel. I don't know if it's true since apparently I've never had one.

Y'know, half a century ago I thought like this. It took five years of grad school and study, a couple of OBGYNs who had no axe to grind, and years away from the religious indoctrination of my childhood to change my mind.
The history of religion's views on abortion is...interesting.

Respond "Oh, even if we wanted more kids we'd adopt anyway. Too many children in foster homes, waiting to be adopted."
Somewhere there's a list of US physicians who are far more willing than most to do a hysterectomy. My daughter plans to visit one such.

Younger Daughter eats most restaurant sandwiches with knife and fork for that reason. Chili cheese fries with a fork. Some funny looks but who cares? Why should she have to wash hands both before and after eating?

Virtually *every* thing you see in this image is a galaxy, with billions or trillions of stars. And this image is a part of the sky that is about the size of a dime, held at arm's length.

Irrelevant. A caterpillar doesn't change its species when it becomes a butterfly...one is the developing precursor of the other.
"Abortion is murder" is an opinion. An incorrect one in my view, but you're welcome to it. Everyone is allowed to be wrong.

Identity lies in the brain. An embryo or a fetus isn't a human being. It's in development, just like a caterpillar. It *might* be one someday...just not yet.

You have to wonder how Don Jr feels about not-even-being-an-afterthought. Parents who want a child, make love to have that child. Marmalade Madman f*cked Melania for one reason: his own pleasure.

No worries, Elder Daughter insisted on ignoring the very concept of matching socks until she was in high school. 's'ok.

I'd love to see it...but without a clear majority of the House, and two-thirds majority of the Senate, it cannot happen. Perhaps 2026 midterms might change the situation for the better.

Sorry but I cannot concur with "unfortunate president" unless it means that it's unfortunate that he's president. Or ever was.

Sympathy coming. I take eleven meds each morning, five in the evening, four at bedtime. Always worry that a dropped pill will find its way into one of the three voids (Magic, Boo, and Smudge).

Q: How can dinosaurs mate? A: Generally, very, very slowly. Female T.Rex was always sad because she never got a reacharound.😁
Q: Did humans ever reproduce asexually? A: Depends on whether you believe the holy spirit or Joseph.
