I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Now THAT is my kind of emergency vehicle!

I'm right there, too, waiting patiently. Sort of patiently. OK, biting my fingernails and sending b9 b9 b9 messages!

Not to change the subj. but no surprise here:

Wabbit's in the bag with her lucky rabbit's foot.  Hope you don't mind that I kept it attached to the wabbit.

You know ... the way things are today I can understand folks wanting guns for self protection.  But every darn day we read stuff like this latest from Indiana ...

"A central Indiana woman was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness after telling police she accidentally fired a .44 Magnum rifle while twirling it as seen on the 1950s Western television show "The Rifleman."  "She knew it was loaded, but thought the safety was on." 

The bullet went into the apartment below her ... luckily it did not hit the occupant this time. 

Stupid stuff like this day after day.  And much worse.  I just wish the NRA would maybe spend much more of their time promoting responsible gun ownership instead of bleating 'more guns, bigger guns, guns and guns for everyone'. 

I need to go to the store today.  We have rain on the way.  I should be gone already if I want to beat the rain but I'm here instead.  Probably will end up as a soggy, wet wabbit this afternoon. 

Just wondering:  If a child picks up his dad's gun (which obviously wasn't locked up in a gun safe) and shoots his playmate, can the parents of the playmate take the owner of the gun to court to sue for damages or wrongful death?

Blue~~I love the broomstick comment!

If the threat of her own death was not enough of an incentive to keep her guns more secure, why do you think that the possibility of monetary liability would have been? 

Being weird, or odd or strange is not enough to get someone onto any current database that would prevent them from buying a gun, and Adam Lanza had not been involuntarily committed to an institution.  We need to keep looking to find something that will actually work rather than the knee jerk reaction of "just do something" even if that something wouldn't have prevented the tragedy it is being proposed in response to, and may in the long run make it even more difficult to identify those who should not have access to guns.

"I was going to respond to the drive-by, but it's just not worth my time."   That's how you treat people when they try to engage in Mirror.  Double standard?

Deleted?  I wonder why all of the airbrush, among other comments, directed at me aren't deleted by the Moderators.  I don't really really care.  I would rather post on either thread and when I do at Mirror, it's to ask someone to justify accusations, clarify a comment with facts, etc.  I think that is well accepted here, but not there.  That is the real double standard.

Just saw my first hummingbird of the year.  A sign of peace and love.  Not so fitting given today's events, but most days are full of violence in America, whether bombs or guns.  Bombs are just more unusual than guns, but the affect is the same.

Lobotomy, I say!

Speechless over Boston, my college town. Ours is a very violent country.

3rd explosion, at JFK Library.

tragic.

My MO had a patient exactly like you.  She said she had no choice but to Rx estrogen.  My cousin is 2 years ahead of me with BC, she is ER+ too, does not take AI's, but in fact, takes bioidenticals.  When I saw my path last night, that I only had a 30-40% chance of AI's working, I was taken aback.  Also, brca2+ cancer supposedly is prevented by estrogen, as it often comes post-menopausal with "estrogen protecting."  Damned if I can get an MO to say more than that is true, without explaining.  "It's complicated."  I know post-menopausal estrogen is produced in the breast via aromatase, so could be a different estrogen than estradial, but it would make sense that giving bioidenticals, one might stop adrenal estrogen production (in my case, the more cancer provoking one), but I know these biological pathways are more complicated than I can ever research on my own. 

Have you done any research on this, or just of the mind - I don't want AIs.  I certainaly can do without the SE's, though they are mostly manageable.  On the otherhand, I wonder if they are truely the answer, atleast in my lum B brca2 case.
