Ruling allows same-sex marriages for Florida Keys
This is why I love being a Brit!!

No state by state nonsense ... we in the UK are ONE big state and law is law ... we are not 50 states continuously fighting the pros and cons!

Edit: Just re-reading this - you have these laws on a county by county basis? That's really weird! So even within one state there is a diversity of rules and regulations?

Today is a day of last minute shopping and packing. I started picking outfits from my closet last night and realized that it was a disaster (the closet). So I was up until 2am cleaning my closet! Now it's a small disaster, but now I can look properly.

I collect pop-culture action figures and dolls and had them in boxes, in my closet until I could put them on shelves, so my shoes and everything was blocked.

I'm so happy that I didn't buy any new sandals for my long skirts. I had 3 pair of strappy, sandals that I've never worn…which happen to be my favorite comfortable brand (Born).

Well, I'm off to a couple of appointments! I look forward to reading your posts later this morning!

I had no idea that our counties could be autonomous, but I'm happy that it happened. As I said, it's a baby step, but an important step towards acceptance in our state.

If you read the history of this issue in Florida, we have a very large right-wing religious sector, which I am NOT a part of. Read about Anita Bryant. Although she claimed to be a (Christian) religious woman, and a poster child for Florida Orange Juice…wholesome and all that. She spewed HATE. AWFUL!!!

I tell you, I've never been on a cruise and all that prolonged preparation you're decribing are making me think that it’s a good thing that I didn’t

Good Friday all

I love cruisin. Sure lots of prep. Shopping and doing stuff before you shove off. but if you've never been cruisin.. you simply must. What an experience. The ship, the ports, people, the food, the FUN!

I was in the Navy and on a ship and I still love riding that BIG piece of hard steel all day and night... (I'm so bad) My only must is.....I MUST HAVE A SUITE WITH A BALCONY.....YES...CRUISIN IN STYLE.......

Have fun my sista Deborah.... I will be thinkin of you. If you feel so inclined as to bring me back an XXXXXL T-shirt (I love to sleep in a big T) I won't be mad at you girl.

Well another busy day at the office....so I must run....BUT I will be on this evening and ALL this weekend so WE call blow up ALL of these threads and make the Ma's so proud of us and keep our numbers up ALL weekend and throughout the week. Deal Later guys...

I just got home from (hopefully) the last of my errands and I'm taking a break for lunch. One of my daughters friends just got here and her other one will be here tonight!

My niece is ill and may not be able to travel. In the event she has to stay back, my sister (her mother ) will stay home with her. I hope between now and tomorrow 6am tomorrow she has some sort of breakthrough, but as of now it's doubtful. She had her third spinal tap on Wednesday to relieve the pressure in her head and now has a spinal migraine.

Uugghh! Anita Bryant - what a nasty piece of work! I learned all about her when I fell in love with the Tales of the City books in the 1980s!!

And, I doubt that you'd be here if you were part of the Christian Crazies! Talking of which, I saw a brilliant placard recently to counter all the hate-mongering. It said:

"Guys, I said I hate FIGS!" ......

I'm so sorry to hear about your niece Deborah. I hope she lays flat, still and relaxes herself. Spinal headaches are really painful and feel like they last forever too. I hope she starts feeling better soon. Her mom should be home with her. () during this illness.


Don't forget to make room for me in your suitcase. Push.. I know I can fit.
