  4. House lawmakers voted this week to make the abortion-inducing drugs mifepristone and misoprostol Schedule IV controlled substances. That would criminalize their use.

    1. Vermont already made them legal. Made abortion legal. Protected a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body.

  6. Splash Day: Take 2...
    We arrived a half hour before Splash time. Mind you, that means I got up today at 6:00am (and even baked blueberry muffins before we left!). As Loch Nest was lowered into the water, a crew member was dancing! I was told she dances every day as the first boat goes in. Gorgeous day! We practiced docking maneuvers...and we didn't hit anything! Yay! Quite satisfied. Tomorrow, Wil and Root*Center*Son have their first sailing race of the season.

  7. Another controversial flag seen at Alito home.This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

  8. As usual my comment disappeared before I could hit publish. I just need to vent a little. When my brother died last month all his problems - all of them - became mine by default. I am still dealing with them every damn day. I haven't even been able to feel sorrow for him because I'm struggling to stay afloat against the tsunami of things to deal with. sigh. Vent ended. -Susan.

    1. Wow! I asked for a check in the same second you sent a check in. That's like kything or something! ❤️
      And, Susan, thank you for knowing you could come here and vent! ANY TIME. That is a LOT to deal with and so unfair!!! My SIL dealt with the aftermath of the death of her former partner's daughter (cancer) leaving her adopted son (age 5) behind. It took a VERY long time to get all the details sorted out even though they had done a lot of planning ahead of time. (For example, the mom's best friend and her family took in the mom and her son for her last year of her life then adopted him. Sounds like it should have been cut and dried, but the paperwork alone was insane! So I can't even begin to imagine what mess you "inherited." It's crappy that it means you can't even have a normal grieving process.
