Well, Nihil, I've already given you a huge thank you, but here it is again: thank you.

And, Bob, right, yes. To quit drinking because it was making me miserable would never have worked. The pot would have been even more impossible, though with that the highs were less and less enjoyable... Anyway, thanks again for reading and commenting. :-)

Damn. Amen. To everything.

I was in a 12 step program, similar to AA, called GROW when I was fighting murderous depression and my mind was zapped by prescription medication. It helped a real lot, I can tell you.
I remember an interview featuring Liza Minnelli. She said as you did that for most people alcohol might make them feel OK or angry or whatever, but in her case it made her feel "absolutely fantastic"

And this is where someone who was a good joke writer could hit that thing right out of the ballpark.

Yeah, me too on Kingsley.

And, thanks for the kind words.

Seriously. Hollywood could produce a sequel to "Battlefield Earth" and if Kingsley were starring, I'd give it a shot.

Oops. I accidentally edited out my praise for the post. Thank you for sharing, Heather, and congratulations on this laudable milestone.

I haven't seen it, no. I love BK though. I'll try to remember to check it out. Thanks for reading! :-)

Have you seen "You Kill Me"? It's not great, but Ben Kingsley is in it and he plays a Polish hit man from Buffalo who is sent by his family to get help. It is a relatively dark comedy and the end is not great, but I really enjoyed his coming to terms with / better understanding the places from where his problems were coming. Despite some of the disparaging words I've already

2011-07-02T21:38:46.713-04:00

Yup. I think we who are avidly pro-women's medical freedom need to accept that for a lot of people it is literally killing a child. That's their reality. Arguing against someone's reality gets everyone nowhere. (This is a little easier for me to accept since I've got a flowy concept of life that, for me, does begin the moment I *think* I'm pregnant.)

Abortion language. Killing a child. Murdering a baby. Cluster of cells. Blob of tissue. Whatever. Safe and legal access to early abortion is good; free and effective birth control is best of all.

I need to work on the "better" thing. I tend to drown in the moment, get consumed with anger, spiral down into despair. It

2011-07-02T11:42:47.422-04:00

Right. That's how you see it, I totally understand. That's now how I see it and it's now how anti-choice people see it either. It doesn't matter, though, does it? Keeping the choice safe and legal is what matters, yes?

Thanks for commenting. I realize the statement is inflammatory.

Abortion removes a cluster of cells whose viability is by no means certain from a person's body. Why anybody would need to call that "killing a child" is beyond me.
