Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

   How about a third option? How about Proactive?
   All of these Pro-Lifers are so hell bent on passing these insane laws that ultimately violate many of women's rights. They spend all of this money to campaign it and fight abortion, but why don't we put all of these efforts into help preventing unplanned pregnancies in the first place.
   I know some unplanned pregnancies can't be helped, such as rape, but I believe most can be prevented. If we make sex ed mandatory in school and not allow the parents' close mindedness have a say in it. If we provide free birth control regardless of age, income, and parental approval. Maybe, just maybe we could stop this madness.
   I don't think the Pro-Lifers have stopped to think about what their bills are going to do to this economy. It'll be like a domino effect:

1. Increase the population.
2. Increase the number of the mentally unstable or children with costly disorders. 
3. Increase the number of children in orphanages.
4. Increase the number of single mothers.
5. Increase these orphaned children and single mothers dependent on the government to supply a living.
6. Increase unemployment rate.
7. Increase taxes.
8. Increase the number of homeless people.
9. Increase crime rate.

   I'm sure I could think of more, but this is the future we're looking at if these Pro-Lifers don't get off their high horse and realize what their fight it really doing to America. So I say lets stop fighting and get on the same page. The proactive page.

Torn

   This is a follow up from the previous post. Daggins has helped ease my mind tremendously by agreeing to pay for the gas during the trip and me paying him back when we return. So now I kind of hope I don't get my bonus check before we leave. 

   If I do get it Eleven and I are definitely going to go see Hairspray and everyone knows how much I want to see it but, I'll more than likely spend the whole thing in Minneapolis. Even though I should be saving it for my vacation in May.

   So now I'm just torn on what I really want, but thank you Daggins, you really saved me! 

Rolling With The Punches

...or at least I'm trying to.
   This last week was a bit exhausting for me. Had to be at work at 7 am to train in a new TM and still do my normal duties at the same time. So not only was I sleep deprived, but I was stressed out too. My head is already in Minneapolis, which causes me to lose focus on the important things.
   We leave on Friday and will be coming back on Sunday. I was really excited for the trip, but now I'm dreading it a little. I was originally thinking it wouldn't be too expensive, but it seems to be getting more and more expensive by the minute. 
   Eleven has now decided to take her car as well. So that means more gas money I'm going to have to pay. Especially if CPK and Daggins decides to go in her car instead of mine. So I was just budgeting for $60 in gas, but now I have the possibility of paying $150 or more in gas. 
   On top of which all of the things I want to do. They're a couple of museums and some exhibits I want to go to, but that costs money that I have to pay for two people to go to. I really want to go see Hair Spray at this awesome looking dinner theater, but it's $65 a ticket. 
   I should be getting my bonus check right before I go, but there is a chance I won't get it until the Monday after the trip. If I don't get it we'll only have about $350 to use for spending and gas money. Luckily the hotel and movie tickets are already paid for. 
   At this point the main thing I'm looking forward to is Hunger Games, which will probably be the least expensive part of the trip at $18 a ticket. Like I said I'm really trying to just roll with the punches here, but I'm finding it difficult to do.
