cinch it up tight and it don't rattle . . . save the well chewed (all the sugar out) gum though . . . stick it on a pinhole leak in a gas tank and drive a sheet metal screw into it . . . had one that held for years!

Have you read "Travels With My Aunt" by Graham Greene? (though the Aunt seems more charming than your mom.)

I had an insightful snarky comment all ready, but now I'm too depressed. United Fucking States of Fucking Stupid.

Probably not, most of my books have rocket ships or wizards in them, but I'll ask grandpa if he has a copy. (He has thousands more books than I do and can remember where his are)

It's possible. My mom had her abortion in 1964.

You know? That's exactly what crossed my mind, how different things would have been. She may have never married my dad, etc. Crazy.

Abortion does get applied post-birth in Texas. It's called the death penalty there.

My Ex used to swear that three days of speedballls, Jack Daniels. and a series of vicious spankings could terminate a pregnancy if it wasn't too far along.

I can't remember if we tried it. I have no memory of that time in my life at all.
