The only appropriate response to this is…. why?

I was unaware of this beyond ridiculous law, but sadly it’s true. And once again it makes me wonder, why does America hate its women?

Finally, a workout routine I might be able to stick with.

I can’t believe the MO divorce law. It causes an equally adverse effect on men as it does on women. I have four sisters, all of whom have been divorced at least once. The anecdotal, but still very reliable, evidence states clearly that, if your spouse wants a divorce and you don’t want a life of misery, give it to them and don’t give them any shit to go along with it. There are countless gallons of ice cream to dull the pain (I like Friendly’s forbidden chocolate. Any ice cream that’s forbidden bust be incredible.).
Did the Pike’s Peak guy bring replacement peanuts, like spare tires in a stock car race? It seems like they would wear out or get lost. When our ship crossed the Equator my pollywog ass had to measure the length of the ship, 564’3″ with a regulation Navy frankfurter. Not as strenuous as Pike’s Peak, I suppose, but enough to give me the idea. Am I thinking about this too much? We could talk about the spicy Latin lover in the tight shirt and the cloud of after shave…

That law is based on taking a paternity test to make sure a man is the father before judging child support. Like it can’t be done after a divorce? 😡
My husband’s shellback certificate hangs proudly in our home office and to this day he still carries the card in his wallet. He crawled through a tunnel of garbage to earn it …. and he’s proud.

I was going to ask you about your husband’s Honorable Shellback status, though I was pretty sure about my guess.

Don’t even get me started on the stupid laws that have come from overturning Roe. I mean, seriously what the literal fuck?! We’re being pushed back into a time before when women were considered property. 🤬😡🤬😡

I wrote a post a short while ago about overturning Roe, and how women are being turned into “cows” again. (Chattel = cattle = cows!) A number of people told me I was crazy. But this law seems to say exactly that. Add to this Vance’s rant about forcing women to stay in violent relationships “for the sake of the children,” as if watching daddy beat up mommy is not going to leave children with psychological damage for the rest of their lives! Republicans have gone berserk. White Christian Male Republicans have a very strange idea of what kind of world they can force on everyone, and they need to be taught a lesson in the next election.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that, but the way things are going I don’t have much faith in our government anymore.

I could go into that, but Rg’s blog is not the place for political commentary. If I may invite you to “Ideas from Outside the Boxes” I would be more than willing to discuss what is going on today in our world politically.
River’s world….. is a quiet, safe retreat from the outside world. I would hate to destroy its haven-like feel.

Does that make the Colorado guy the new Mr. Peanut? I use salt to trap ghosts and demons around the house, but I don’t have a self-driving car so I can’t test that premise.

An honorary Mr. Peanut at the very least.
I don’t know anyone with a self driving car, but if I did… you can bet I’d be stocking up on salt.

Well, on the positive note, it is easier to collect monies from someone you live with than someone divorced and perhaps in the wind. You can mess with someone all day long with self driving cars in a parking lot.

That spider looks suspiciously like the spider that bit me 5 years ago and caused my leg to swell so big I thought my skin was going to break apart it was so thin and dry. I ended up in the hospital for a week.
And it was flying on the wind when it got caught in my partner’s hair and started crawling on her head. I knocked it off and it fell onto my foot and took a chunk out of me about an 1/8 of an inch deep and around. Then it leaped back into the air and a few seconds later made two women pedestrians bat their hands at it while screaming. They were half a block away from us. The only difference was the yellow parts on your spider were green on mine’s body, and white on the legs. Does your article say what kind of spider it is. The one that attacked us was three or four inches wide, including the legs. I looked all over the internet for a picture, but found nothing until I looked at your spider. It sent shovers down my spine!

It’s called a Joro spider but I’ve never read about them being that far north.

It happened farther North than I am, in Fort Providence, Northwest Territories.
I presume the spider came in on some kind of fruit or vegetable shipment, certainly it did not belong there. And it was probably angry it could not find its way home. It was the talk of the town for about 2 weeks, then it disappeared. Probably someone killed it.
