I thought that I’d delurk for a while to give everyone an update:
My cervix is currently 1-2 centimeters dilated; thick but soft!
Doc seems to think there’s a good chance that something will happen this weekend (or before), but if it doesn’t, that I’m welcome to come in on Tuesday and he’d get the ball rolling.
Phew!
According to the Oak Ridger, the Anderson County courhouse is talking about going gun-free.
Seriously? In this day and age, they think a person should be separated from his piece while in court? Really?
Well hell yes, really. I’ve stayed away from the gun talk, although I tend to believe in personal rights and stuff on a wide scale (wear what you want, do what you want, say what you want, as long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of somebody else), but I don’t begin to understand the arguments of these people who believe in the right to carry firearms everywhere they go.
Sure, have a gun. Leave the damn thing at home, or in your car. Don’t bring the thing in the supermarket with me, don’t bring it in the movie theater, and for Jah’s sake, don’t bring it in the damn courthouse. Theres crazy people there.
Is it infringing on your rights? Maybe, but the way I see it, no matter how many tests, drills, permits these people have to carry a piece, the fact that they have one out in public is infringing on my piece of mind, and thats a right I deserve to have, more than whatever piece of mind you get by carrying Mssr’s Smith and Wesson on your person.
Keep the gun at home. Hell, I’ll be in line to shoot cans or targets with you. Shoot it at animals, if you feel like thats what you have to do to get your rocks off, but don’t bring it around me while we’re out and about.
I don’t trust you.
