Mandatory Trans-Vaginal Wanding For Every One!
Ronald Reagan’s famous saying was that the nine most dangerous words in the English language were: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
Jon Stewart played Ronald Reagan’s speech last night in regards to his discussion about certain Republicans wanting to enforce mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasounds for women seeking abortions.
Oh how I wish I was still buddies with good old Lena (who unfriended my dirty liberal hippie ass on Facebook recently) so we could talk about my being all liberal and not wanting vaginas of women to be transvaginally ultrasounded by choice and her wanting wands up every body’s ass at any given time, if they were liberal. I’m sure it would be a quiet conversation between sips of camomile tea. I miss our little back and forths.
So there you go. How’s about you start googling what these asshats want to do to young women’s vaginas, okay?
But that’s not why I came here to blog.
I came here to talk about my hair.
Fuck! Again? (I know this is what you’re thinking)
I went for my 3-month follow-up at the hair restoration clinic. (The one I mentioned early today) Where, I have to tell you, no one has rested a forearm on my head even though they are a clinic that deals with issue of the hair on the head. From the photos and the measurements, it looks as though the hair on the sides and back (where just about everyone has hair) has gotten thicker, follicle-wise by so many percentages of a number – which I thought was small but in the manner of hair follicle sizes – is big. The hair on the top of my forehead is getting follicle-thicker but not so much follicle-more in the numbers of follicles measured. It makes sense. Trust me on this. The big news is that I’ve got oodles of fine hairs coming in on the crown of my head.
And here’s where I like the honesty of my hair clinic contact, Dan – (and let’s remember I’m getting 6 mos. of weekly visits for FREE!) “It could be just the natural growth of your hair, following cancer or it could be the lasers. We’re not sure. But I think you should keep coming back and we’ll keep looking at your growth.”
I really respect that in a place that is getting absolutely no money from me. What will they earn from little old me? Oh sure, I talk about here in my blog and I’ll probably write a letter to some journal publication down the road. But all that I can see that they’re really getting out of this is nothing more than the fact that they’ve got big hearts.
Dan said something else about my head (God! He’s as obsessed about it as I am!): ”Normally we tell our clients to keep their hair lighter, making it look thicker. But if we look at your photo from your first visit here and your one last week, you’d probably benefit from darker hair color.” Which is what I thought but I figured I’d listen to the experts. It’s also what Judy Beauty thought and hooey, did I get a lot of I Told You Sos! from her (damn it – she’s always right!) But I had to convince Colorist Kari to go lighter because she also agreed that she thought it would make my hair look thicker. But for some reason, the lighter hair does not camouflage my head like it does for other people.
I’m getting a little tired of always be different.
Okay. That’s a lie. I like being totally different. I don’t like to fit into a mold. I like being one-of-a-kind. That’s how odd I am.
So I now have my “original brown” hair with a few areas of blonde, where Kari insisted I get them. I think it looks pretty darned good and I’m starting to feel normal with my hair again. Which is a bit ironic, given that I like to be different. Just not Male Pattern Baldness different.
I gotta go. I’m in Season 3 of Breaking Bad and I can not stop watching it.
But before I go – please keep your arms off of people’s heads and your trans-vaginal probes in your pockets!
Huh. I just listened to Alice’s Restaurant yesterday while I was waiting for AAA to come change my tire.
Simply put, the men behind the abortion/ultrasound thing sincerely believe that any female who is enough of a slut to want an abortion deserves to be raped. Case closed. Even if she was raped to begin with, even if she’s twelve years old, because if she’s pregnant, it’s her fault and her fault alone, and she deserves to be punished, not rewarded with a neato abortion.
So sad, Rosie. So sad.
I am so, so very tired of this war against women. One of my friends live in Oklahoma and is up in arms about the Personhood act, as well she should be. I couldn’t believe the asshats who were commenting on her posts. Well, I could believe them because I know people like that, but it is so beyond the pale that they think they belong in everyone’s vagina.
I’ve had a transvag ultrasound when I was pregnant as a part of my Old Woman care (I was 35 at the time, so that counts as being super old when pregnant). It was completely humiliating and I hope to never have to do that again.
That’s so nasty, Carrie. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Can you imagine having to go through that by force? Egads!
G_DMANNIT Jeeze Kathy to good ones in one day. And no less than 14 referrals to my site, just cause I know you. I’m lucky just to know you!
So, if you can put trans vajajay.. right in your title i’m thinking about a weiner implant title of some kind. I bet penis in the title will get my hit count right up there. Lemmie know how this one does.
Oh Sank! You just go right on ahead and put weiner in your title! Did I ever mention that I knew a quality control inspector at the local penile implant plant? She was a Pecker Checker! For real!
I don’t check my stats that often. They’re pretty dismal these days so I stay away. I guess I’m just not edgy enough?
Not edgy enough.. sheez you’re the blogger out there in Minnesota who is funnier and edgier than I am..
BTW.. the Warby Parkers aren’t working out as good as I hoped. They’re good for upclose but I under estimated my ability to see without progressives.
Bummer about the Warby Parkers not working for you. Wait until you’re older, like me. My distance vision got better while my reading vision got worse. It’s awesome getting old!
I think we’re pretty close pumpkin.. I got a 50 coming next summer.
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
The Republicans and the Catholic Church want all women barefoot and pregnant.
I just got into an abortion discussion this week, abortion vs religion. I think it all stemmed from this ultrasound thing. I had one done during delivery and let me tell you it was painful and I seen no medical reason why it was done.
Now to comment on your hair… Congratulations Kathy.
I have no idea why my last comment came out as anonymous as I did not want to hid my name…..
Good news on the hair info….glad you got your dark hair back too.
And I have to agree….if men were the ones who got pregnant; things would be completely different. Birth control would be free, checkups and all the female testing would be mandatory and we would not have to worry anymore…
That’s okay Terri. Maybe you were anonymous because WordPress thought you were going to cause trouble.
Well, I am your friendly neighborhood “dirty conservative catholic born & raised hippie asshat” and I gotta say that the government AND the church definitely need to stay out of our vaginas. Out of our bodies, period. Out of church and pretty much out of schools. I simply can not believe that all of these issues are even…well…issues! I love Chai’s comment. I don’t think that abortions should be for women that say “ooopsie! I got preggo again! Time for another abortion” But you bet your sweet a$$ that if my …..never mind. There are justifiable circumstances. It’s just not black and white. Sorry, K~Lo.. I’m babbling……..slinking away now…..♥♥
I thought conservatives were the clean ones!
Know what I like about you – your willingness to stick in there with me – even though I drive you crazy sometimes. I got nothing against smart conservatives! xox
That was very sweet of you to say, but we’ve known each other a long time and we both know…..I’m not very smart. Hahahaha. But I am smart enough to stick with you
