Wear Blue....an attorney friend of mine once told me it is the color of honor and truth. <br /><br />Good Luck to you and all of us women, Mitzi H.Mitzi H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16746339245819447740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-839329107547645132010-04-13T22:42:56.482-06:002010-04-13T22:42:56.482-06:00Thanks to your voice, Senate Bill 193 is on its wa...Thanks to your voice, Senate Bill 193 is on its way to unshackling those women prisoners who can no longer speak for themselves.oklananniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619399949613870109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-10225059357107628672010-04-13T17:12:23.615-06:002010-04-13T17:12:23.615-06:00I hope 193 turns out to be your lucky number!

I can take the spiders and scorpions, but not the rattlesnakes. That is what freaks me out. I grew up having to be aware of all of those creatures. There is a cactus that you can drink the water from. I don't remember the name. Possibly a barrel cactus. You would have to have a knife and the knowledge of cacti. <br /><br />Hugs!Debbie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833523307815933715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-18988672871120659932010-04-13T12:58:02.695-06:002010-04-13T12:58:02.695-06:00Just popping in to say it is Senate Bill 193.

She is testifying AND she's bringing women who've gone through labor and birth in shackles.<br /><br />One of you — you know who you are — said she's thinking of this bill as "Megan's Law," referring to Megan in Unlawful Contact. And that totally choked me up.<br /><br />Megan is fiction, but her experience was very real, composed of the experiences of both women and teenagers from Colorado prisons.<br /><br />So this is for them.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-41583431286516728842010-04-13T09:28:44.809-06:002010-04-13T09:28:44.809-06:00Good luck, Pamela!

Whenever I read about border crossings I am always struck by the endurance of man, of their decision to face agony, sweat & death for just a chance. Sobering.<br /><br />You asked (from yesterday's post): What is it about Gabe that makes [me] adore him? <br /><br />Right from the beginning Gabe just felt more accessible. Even though initially, he had all the hallmarks of an anti-hero: emotionally-detached, womanizing, almost dispassionate there was something about him that hinted of goodness. His was a heart in conflict with itself. <br /><br />As the story progressed, you revealed a man who had once loved life, a good, trusting, loyal soul. It was simply charming to see him get back to that place. To witness his playfulness, laughter, joie de vivre. All this made Gabe very lovable to me. (And then, of course, he did what he did...how could I not love him forever??)<br /><br />So, ya think Zach has potential to top Gabe?! Oh my..I can hardly wait! :-)Scorpio M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14220703314400620519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-5922675440239228192010-04-13T07:43:33.355-06:002010-04-13T07:43:33.355-06:00Hey hon!
