    I am so naive. The level to which some people stoop to hurt others, never ceases to amaze me. Even when I think I’m prepared for anything, I am still shocked by the evil hidden within some people.

    I can't decide if I should fly down to Seattle for a conference or take the train. I like the romanticism of the train, but I'd have to wake up at 3am or something like that to catch it going down, and then get home really late at night coming back, and I have to work that next morning. Obviously flying is technically way faster, but after dealing with the whole international flight shit at the airport, I wouldn't be saving that much time anyhow. Hmmmm. Gotta book, but can't decide. Money is no object - work pays for the whole trip.

    I find Seattle a pretty easy airport to deal with, and it’s a really short flight. In your shoes I would go with flying.

    I was actually concerned with the time it will take at YVR before departure.... that can take a LONG time. Last time I flew to the US from YVR I stood in the security line for 2 hours - it sucked .... But damn, a 3am wake up. That's pretty brutal! Why does that train leave so damn early in the morning?? It's stupid - it actually deters people from taking it (hoping that super speed train idea goes through though!).

    Every time I'm standing in that line, I promise myself I'm going to apply for the Nexus clearance.  And then as soon as I'm through the line I forget ;)

    Well today is the day. The day we show that we love the women in our lives and see them as more than mere incubators. Do me proud Ireland, we may not get this chance again. #Repealthe8th

    Fingers and toes crossed for the women of Ireland!
    There was a story on this on the local morning news today, and I was absolutely shocked to hear that divorce was only legalized in the mid-90s. WOW! I had no idea Ireland made it illegal so far into modern times. Poor everyone stuck in shitty marriages up until then.

    Yeah sure even birth control was illegal into the 80's, we're still in the dark ages in some ways thanks to the lasting effect of the stranglehold Catholicism held over our lives for so many long years. Also up til maybe the 70's or 80's, women had to quit their jobs when they got married. As for this referendum, the horror of what some women have to go through as a result of our archaic laws is astounding.

    In Ireland, a woman with cancer will be refused treatment if she's pregnant. If she wants to terminate the pregnancy she has to travel to England.

    Similarly if the foetus is not viable or 'incompatible with life', even then she must carry to term and then give birth to the dead foetus.

    Apologies for putting it in such blunt terms but that is our reality.

    If a women finds herself pregnant as a result of rape, she will be forced to carry her rapists child.

    I could go on but I think you get the picture.

    Hopefully today we can make the right decision and show that women are valued and respected equally in Ireland.

    It looks to be official. Kudos to Ireland for taking this important step to recognize a woman's right to agency over her body.

    Since AET is my favorite place to be I will post this here.  Just got done re watching Sopranos.  Found this tribute to James Gandolfini.  Never knew the work he did with the Wounded Warrior foundation.  That part comes up at the end of the video.  Since it is Memorial Day I will tie this video into today to  honor the fallen hero’s.

    Are you ok RS?
    Try not to let it get to you RS...Naïve is probably the wrong word...
    The thing is a lot of us people are very trusting and some people take advantage of that...just don't let those people get you down...
