Facebook Politics

So, earlier today I posted this image on my Facebook profile from Being Liberal's page:

It sparked a few pretty good comments and one very real confession on my part. Just so we're clear, I blacked out people's names and one face to protect privacy. Remember, these people are my friends. I don't add people I don't know, but I make everything I do public so anyone can see what I have to say. I left my face and name up there for that very reason. (I left Optimus Prime because he's awesome.)

This is what ensued:

So that's my confession. I know better, I just argue politics to argue and I can't keep my mouth shut when I see someone hurting, oppressing, manipulating or degrading someone else in earnest. (Obviously, it's all a matter of perspective and opinion but this is my world-on-electronic-paper and I can do that.)

Another day, another.....baby?

So, I find myself sitting in the waiting room (next to the Waiting Room for you Omaha people) watching one of my heart sisters fill out the form to recieve a pregnancy test because the 'works' are all mucked up and she's late.

On top of that, its her birthday. She's scared. It will be their (her husband is a great guy, he's scared too) 4th child. Sadly, they lost one of the twin girls around 5 years ago to a tragic mishap. Even so, three kids (without assistance) when they were just getting on their feet is gonna be tough.

Being the good friendly I am, I couldn't let her do this alone on her birthday. So, here we go. Hand holding in progress. (wish us luck).
