The Guardian: US Maternal Mortality Rate is more than 2x that of Australia

How Rick Warren of Saddleback Church became an egalitarian

I really want to buy this pattern it's so freaking pretty! I should. But I have dozens of other quilt patterns that I still haven't and *sigh*.

Webcomic: Boo! It's sex!

Trying to sell things is an absolute nightmare for me. Nobody ever wants to buy stuff.

Still haven't heard from the windows guys. I suspect it will be April before they contact us, and the work won't be done until May... Also, I don't think B1 quite realises how much dust and dirt and stuff will be there.

Also, she's had a difficult client, one who was supposed to be done back in, oh, January. It's now mid-March and B1 is starting to think that the only way she's going to get away from this client is to quit her agency. Which...the client is certainly a problem: both anxious to get the best that the system can offer without comprehending the limitations of the support workers...or their right to a weekend.

A dozen calls from Friday afternoon until Sunday night!

"Nobody ever wants to buy stuff."
This omg. Nobody even wants stuff FOR FREE - a few years ago I tried to give away a bunch of (good quality) things, and it sometimes took weeks for anyone to even notice my post no matter how much I cross-posted and I bumped it every day. My assumption was 'people are greedy, they will snag it all in a second', which apparently was very wrong (one or two things did get snagged in a second, the rest in like a month).
