Ah, I know, I know.. a day late and a dollar short, but for whatever reason sitting at the Mall for a very quick 8 hours I also found to be very very exhausting! Plus, when I did get home, we had friends over..so about three glasses of red wine later, up too late entertaining, and general life choas on Sunday... just be thankful you get this now. I feel there is so much to do right now.. as my former wiatress in me says.. "I am in the weeds"
Anyhoo..the beauty of being late is that get to save some one handed typing fustration and say: Go read Ungrateful Little Bastard, because, same report!!
And yes, I have to get those pictures.. though I don't think these is one of me.. which sucks coz that was probably the best I have looked in a month.. I am such a house frau now.
It was great! We really had some wonderful laughs..always so good to finially meet people..of course I always say that.. but because it is sooo true! I think my favorite fantasy visual is of us handing out purple condoms that say "Motherhood is Forever" on them! Rye failed to laugh when I told him that.. guess you had to be there for it to be funny!
I still have to get my hands on the very local BlueStone Press that did an article on it. AND I am currently waiting a call back from the Kingston Times reporter who called me this AM, apologizing for not seeing it all earlier, but wanting to do something on it now! :)
Now, this does temper some of my aggrivation from the local papers here whom I did feel were ignoring me.. The Kingston Freeman doing an article on the local teen Battle of the Bands rather than RegDay! Of course, the silly Freeman is running the AP article on the new Donaldson Report today...grumble still didn't think of talking to me!.but I can call them now, AND they are doing a survey today based on it.. so
if you go to the link..scroll down to the bottom and answer: Should adults who were adopted as children have access to their birth records?. I am happy to say that right now over 90% say yes! Maybe if I call them then they could do a follow up, perhaps?
Here's them there Bastards that I hung out with all day! We had the cool ass Dick's sporting goods window display behind us. So while the location was ver excellent.. next year there will be HUGE signage behind us. And I definatly felt that, being in the mall. I really, really want to have packets for all those young kids walking past us.. BEWARE! BEWARE! I say! All the nice fertile teens and young women.. the very ones the industry hopes to relieve of their babies, all those boys unkowledgeable about thier roles as punative fathers! Yes, yes..big ideas for next year!
Why is this eerily reminiscent of the fundamentalist Christian anti-abortion dead-fetus protests?
Oh wait, because it has the same sort of obscene monologue, poor grasp of the English language, conspiracy theories, and ranting feel.
At least try and sound like a sane person when lobbying. You may have a good cause... but when you write/talk like this it makes people immediately dismiss you as a crazy.
Really? lol
Honestly, This is not lobbying. This is my babble.. which really.. i shall babble in whichever vein I chose to babble. I also choose no non punctuate for the most part, and not cap when I feel the need as this one handed i have a broken unusablearm and too much to do!
Now, if one choses to dismiss as crazy... especially when I have a) a huge paper I wrote previously which is most definatly not insane and b) the points of that paper are concurred by the Donaldson Report and hitting every paper accross the country..well than that is your loss and most silly IMO.

No no no..
I'd like to read your paper.
I'm just pointing out why many of these teenagers you want to help will not take you seriously.
Wow wish I'd been there. Maybe next year I'll find some free time and host a booth on my side of the country. Ya'll rock!
