Collected Thoughts

I saw this on alterjess 's lj.

Every time protesters gather outside of our Locust Street health center, our patients face verbal attacks from them. They see graphic signs meant to confuse and intimidate. They are sometimes blocked from entering the building and occasionally they are videotaped. They are offered anti-choice propaganda and free rides to the closest "crisis pregnancy center."

Staff and volunteers are also seen as targets. We are all called murderers, are lectured to about committing sins, and are told we will pay the "ultimate price" for our actions.

You can stand with others in the community against these acts of intimidation and harassment

Here's how it works: You decide on the amount you would like to pledge for each protester (minimum 10 cents). When protesters show up on our sidewalks, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania will count and record their number each day from October 1 through November 30, 2005. We will place a signoutside the health center that tracks pledges and makes protesters fully aware that their actions are benefiting PPSP.

They give you the option of capping your pledge, which is what I did.

I was very good and finally took my library books back. But I can't find one. I know it's around here somewhere, but I can't find it and I paid for it, butif I find it in a year I can get my money back.

Also got a new library card --- gingerk they have the keychain tags! Mom didn't get one when she went and got her card so she's going back and say that they should have offered her a choice and she's getting the key chain thing. Whoo. While at the library I checked out Enchanted Broccoli Forest, the Starving student's vegetarian cookbook (I think that's the right title) and another veggie cookbook. Two paperbacks, I think I have one, but I don't know where it would be. Maybe I checked it out and never finished. Also something else I can't remember. THREE Cds! Tim Buckley. I've seen hecubot talk about him in b.org and maybe some place else. Annie Lennox and um, something else.

I'm still recovering from being sick so there's feedback to send and I keep looking at gmail and livejournal and thinking "I'll say soemthing" then I don't.

In my search for the Elusive Library Book I went to Dad's. Even though he searched. He's got lot of books now, he's buying them all the time. He told me he's shopping for a new bookcase. And a new couch. And maybe some other furniture. I kept telling him he needed new stuff. The man is 63 he needs nice things. I guess he went looking for bookcases and once out there took a look at furniture and decided to get stuff. Or he's met another woman. This weekend and last weekend he told me he had plans, with someone, but didn't say who. I'm not sure whether or not to ask.
