So, I have been remiss. Until Wednsday there is a "friends and family" sale for my work (Sur la Table). There is an online code. I don't know if it requires my name to use. If you are interested, let me know.
I'll be at work (Embarcadero and El Camino Real) from 0900-1400 tomorrow, and (if you get word to me before I leave, or call the shop) I can probably be persuaded to stay.

I got this gigantic painting for $6. Do you think it's hideous or totally awesome? I LOVE it.

Ok, I need to see the Eric Dane/Rebecca Gayheart sex video. I just do.
Anyone know where I can find a copy? I've been looking and no luck.

As America's universal health care bill staggers through Congress like a man mortally wounded, the biggest question that remains is whether or not the bill will die before or after Barack Obama gets the chance to sign it.
One of the issues that could kill the bill is abortion.
The original health care bill made no mention of abortion, which means it and other reproductive health services would have been covered. A large number of House members -- including a couple dozen Democrats -- would not have voted for the bill's passage in this form.
Traditionally, the House (and Senate) simply add a boilerplate amendment to such bills that could conceivably involve taxpayer funding of abortion. It is called the Hyde Amendment, and it basically says federal funds may not be used to subsidize abortion.
Hyde Amendment language was intended to be a compromise between abortion rights supporters and foes, but as usual, compromise has led to... more compromise. Unsurprisingly, abortion rights foes, who are about 80 percent Republican and 95 percent male, want to go further.
On the House floor, abortion foes had the audacity to argue that any universal health care plan be extended only to those women who do not get abortions. And audacity it certainly is. Not only are abortion foes attempting an end-around attack on a civil right, but the vast majority of those House members who want abortion restrictions would not vote for a health care bill anyway.
To placate conservative Democrats, Rep. Lois Capps of Central California proposed an amendment that affirmed the spirit of the Hyde Amendment, but also promised those using federally subsidized health care (including the "public option") could get abortions with private or personal money.
Subsequently Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, one of the aforementioned conservative Democrats, co-proposed an amendment that would go further. The Stupak Amendment would prohibit federal funds from being disbursed to any entity that offers abortion as an option -- even if that entity performs abortions with private money, or using funds coming directly out of the pockets of women seeking abortions.
A major problem here is that as a result of health care reform, most insurance companies -- including the private ones -- would no longer be able to cover abortion. That's most of them now, by the way, since many of them work in collaboration with Medicare and Medicaid.
The bill would likely force younger women to purchase a second health care insurer, in anticipation of one day needing to get an abortion. And those are the women who think ahead. The others, who get pregnant unintentionally but don't have the foresight to buy abortion insurance beforehand, might get zero help, and have to pay the considerable doctors' fees in toto. And who are the women most likely to find themselves in these circumstances? Yeah, that's right. Poor women who can't afford the fees.
It deserves repeating: abortion is a federally protected right.
The Stupak Amendment actually failed the first time it went before a House advisory committee. But the amendment was added to the health care bill anyway, presumably in preparation for this weekend's vote. The bill passed the House, albeit barely, with many conservative Democrats voting against it.
As a version of the health care bill now approaches the Senate, many moderates are wondering whether it should contain similar language with regard to abortion for the purposes of ensuring passage. pro-choice Claire McCaskill, a.k.a. Senator Mom, is among them.
This thing is going to move forward unless the left locates its testosterone and starts bullying the moderates into upholding the law of the land.

I would appreciate your help. I'm seeing an inexperienced but very enthusiastic submissive. She has spoken at some length about her desires around humiliation, which are very focused on sex, being denied sex and/or orgasm or alternatively, being used and abused. I'm fine with all of that, but my problem is that, not having done much of this kind of play I tend to run out of ideas and dialogue. Repeating lines like, 'you dirty slut' gets old quickly. I need some i for stringing out a scene and keeping dialogue going without resorting to overly esoteric punishments or tasks...any suggestions?
