foo fighters - my hero, walk (live at the Democratic National Convention - 2012)

My special lady was there in the rafters representing AZ Democrats (only blue states got to be on the floor she said).

Enjoy, it's damn cool ...

I cannot believe that 'when the soul enters the body' is actually part of the abortion debate

in any remotely serious way.

Specifically I've seen people being interviewed on news shows talking about this idea, and then the host credulously going along with it, like it's an actual 'thing'.

Souls are supernatural/magical beings, and therefore ... they're not real. There's no such thing. They're a made-up idea, to comfort people who are scared of death (because 'your soul' is the church-advertised vessel of one's immortality).

And even if you do entertain this (imho, absurd) concept based on your 'faith', it's still the case that it's based on 'religion', and different ideas about when that process (lol) 'happens' abound across different major religions.

So at the very least, if we're just abandoning separation of church and state, and placing everyone's 'faith' (and belief in magical beings) at the top of the proverbial food chain, shouldn't there be 'religious exemptions' that allow abortion for people of faiths who do NOT condemn abortions before a certain point?

Netflix - How to Build a Sex Room

My GF and I enjoy it so far (just finished Ep 4).

She seems to be pretty entertained by the bondage gear.

And the Poly family's little setup in Ep. 3 and 4 ... I could tell she thought it was pretty hot. For my part I was like ... dang, show's starting to get good now ... finally bringing on some actual freaky people

The gay guys story was also cute.

Anyways ... anyone else watching?

Bathroom plumbing advice?

So my bathtub AND sink (in the same bathroom) are both draining slowly. Sink is SUPER slow (can be hours), bathtub less so but still annoying (standing in 1.5-2" of water by the end of my shower depending how long, and it takes about 15-30 mins to drain).

Other stuff around the house does fine, 2nd bathroom seems okay, toilets in both are okay and not clogging up, dishwasher and washing machine okay. Seems to be just these two drains, in this one room.

Anyone have any advice?

It's not something dumb and obvious where both the drains are just clogged in their upper portions around the pop-up assemblies, I've checked that. It's deeper down for sure.

TIA friends
