When I'm sick, I can't even think about sex. Just one of the many reasons I hate being sick. Some people get all self-pitying when they get sick, I get ANGRY.
whew it's really chilling me out that there's more than one breech baby on my friends list. i dunno. it's just bumming my sis out a lot and worrying her because she totally wants that natural birth with no complications or interferences thing. she's not planning on having a brood so this might be her only shot.
but yes thanks for the thoughts
man i'm so sorry i've been out of it.
yeah i ♥ tori to pieces. winter is my fave song of hers too. bawled like a baby at the concert when she sang it.
hope you feel better.
because yeah. anything that breaks up the sex life is no good.
and congrats on the job change that helped in that dept as well. besides giving you better sleep i bet!
lucky! i wanna go to the bahamas. but i was happy enough that here in NC it happened to be 70 today. as much as i love the snow it hurts my mood sometimes. and here they shut everything down for an inch of snow. like people go hoarding milk and bread if they even hear the threat of freezing rain. being from ohio it seems like insanity. but i guess they don't have the plows or the salt that we do in cleveland.
ha ha did you check out Aqua Teen Hunger Force yet? they are HILARIOUS. especially the mooninites that caused all the commotion.
this is what i say to your cold if it ain't gone yet...
It's still postponed because the stupid defense lawyers and judge are finding any loophole they can to delay it.
So...California is supposed to find a new drug cocktail and a new way to administer it so the dead men don't feel any pain when it's time. The state is trying to get this done in private so the doctors don't chicken out (because of their oath), but the defense says it has to be done in public because of some law that was passed a while back. The thing that sucks, is there are plenty of doctors that will do it regardless, they just have to look a little harder.
A year after Morales' execution stayed, state is still hammering out new plan for lethal injection

SAN FRANCISCO _ One year ago, condemned prisoner Michael Morales was set to be executed for the brutal murder and rape of a Lodi teenager. Instead, he won a reprieve that eventually became a California death penalty moratorium with no end in sight.
A federal judge, agreeing with Morales' lawyers, declared the state's lethal injection method unconstitutional, saying the entire lethal injection process _ from a poorly lighted setting in the execution chamber to untrained executioners _ left open the possibility that prisoners would suffer unnecessary pain.
Still, U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel said California's execution protocol was fixable. Yet the legal wrangling since has focused not on a fix, but on how public the state's internal machinations of developing a new protocol should be.
Fogel is scheduled Friday to hear California's plea that the development of a new execution protocol, which might include changes to the three-drug death cocktail, should be formulated in secret.
The state claims experts, such as doctors, might not be willing to offer their services if their involvement becomes public.
Such secrecy is not without precedent, as the Florida Governor's Commission on Administration of Lethal Injection is hearing testimony from medical professionals whose identities remain anonymous out of fear of being labeled executioners. Then-Gov. Jeb Bush suspended executions late last year and commenced hearings after witnesses said a condemned inmate, who needed a second dose of lethal chemicals, appeared to be in pain when he was killed.
In all, challenges to lethal injection _ whether it violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment _ has placed executions on hold in 11 of the 37 states that use the procedure.
The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld executions _ by lethal injection, hanging, firing squad, electric chair and gas chamber, but has left unsettled whether the pain in lethal injections is unconstitutionally excessive.
The mother of Morales' victim wants to see justice meted out. Morales beat, raped and stabbed her 17-year-old daughter, Terri Winchell, in 1981. Morales, meanwhile, has been fighting to stay alive ever since, using a California and federal court system that has created the nation's most clogged death row where few inmates are executed.
"I'd just like to see it done," mother Barbara Christian said. "He needs to pay for his crime."
California is home to the nation's largest death row, with about 650 condemned inmates. Thirteen prisoners have been executed since California reinstated the death penalty in 1977.
Fogel ruled that, among other things, executioners have been poorly trained, have worked in dim, cramped quarters and have failed to properly mix the lethal drugs used to put prisoners to death.
Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a clearinghouse of capital punishment information based in Washington, D.C., said the less secrecy the better when adopting a new lethal injection method.
"Let's develop this process in the open so flaws are quickly identified by experts," Dieter said. "It's gonna face challenges. You might as well have it all out in the open."
Morales' legal team and five news organizations are set to ask Fogel on Friday to block California officials from coming up with a new procedure for executing inmates in secret.
The Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Sacramento Bee, Fresno Bee and Modesto Bee argue that such secrecy would be illegal. They said Proposition 59, approved by 83 percent of voters in 2004, allows "the public to see and understand the deliberative process through which decisions are made."
