Hi! I want to work but ...

I have a bad head cold. *sigh* Kids are home early today (early release) so I might go have a lie-down while I can get it. Have to get grocery shopping in and get to post office today.

Hope your day is going well.

SGK 'continues current' funding Planned Parenthood

"The Komen Foundation's decides to 'continue current funding' of Planned Parenthood spurred a strong backlash against the charity. Online, groups opposed to the decision drew tens of thousands of supporters, and in Washington, more than two dozen senators called on the Komen Foundation to reverse its decision. Planned Parenthood also saw a surge in donations in response to the news."

THANK YOU to everyone online who voiced their shock and anger at the decision, however, don’t forget that this only continues current funding, not a promise to fund in future and SGK uses only about 23% of their donations toward the cause, a lot of their money goes to high salaries for execs, and some of their decisions about fundraising (pink buckets of fried chicken) make the 'charity' more like a business, making money off of the suffering of women. Check out any charity before you donate!

Want to see the kind of fundraising that Susan G. Komen supports?



The P-22 Hope Edition has an exclusive DuraCoat Pink slide in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month! Utilizing the same reliable controls and firing mechanism that has made the Walther P-22 America’s top selling handgun!

(not that I have an aversion to legal and proper gun ownership, but seriously, what does this have to do with breast cancer?)

I'm chuffed

To be making so many friends and new friends valentines jewelry, despite coming down with a bad head cold! *sigh* And thanks for those taking advantage of sales in both of my shops, Fireside and Three Pipe Problem have been big sellers.

I hope to get to drawing soon, and ficcing! Ficcing lately is a break for me, and lighthearted stuff.
