Good news for Canadians: tonight Santa's deliveries will be earlier than usual due to the high number of Americans who have been naughty this year.

Never write a post that concludes with a short 2 or 3 word sentence because you will come across as a bit of a knob.

We used to have prayer as a means to express thanks for our good fortune in life but now we have tax, which is progress as far as I'm concerned.

This year I've fully grasped the reality of human built-in obsolescence and am wondering after all if being made in the 1950's or Germany would've been a better option.

Experimenting with printing is fun

Inspired by the old rhyme about little girls being made of sugar and spice, and little boys of slugs and snails. Turns out not to be true.

I like that it says 'Anybody can interact' but it should in most cases add 'except those assholes you blocked'.

Just thinking that posting prolifically because you're off work with an infection is microbe blogging.

Things are coming full circle. If seems the reason abortion is (was) legal has been forgotten: women were dying in botched & backstreet abortions. It seemed humane to try to stop the women who will always seek abortions from dying. Not because the law is encouraging abortions.

An appeals court has ruled that Idaho can enforce most of its anti-abortion travel ban, making it the first state in the nation to do so.

It's finally begun. The long-anticipated ban on travel restrictions for pregnant women is here, and things are likely to get tougher for everyone.

For those in need of contraceptives, consider getting an IUD as soon as possible, or have your partner undergo a vasectomy.

This is no longer a drill
