confronting fears

Remember the Cathy cartoon in the comics in the Sunday newspaper? Remember how she was always dealing with women's issues like shopping, our weigh, and our relationships with friends, men, and our mothers? I finally got around to taking my maternity clothes out of my closet today. With the reduction of the number of items in my closet, I was able to find my pre-pregnancy jeans. I finally bit the bullet and tried them. I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that they didn't fit, and I didn't want to acknowledge it. I felt like Cathy as I did it. I want to get back into those size 8 jeans. I can't stand that they don't fit. I know everyone gains weight during pregnancy. I just don't want it leftover afterwards.

Free Heroin in Canada

Do any people other than legislators think that giving free Heroin to addicts is actually going to help them turn their lives around? I agree with the Vancouver police chief who said that it will decrease crime and prostitution, but I don't agree that the move away from crime for the addicts is the first step to recovery. I think it will just result in the taxpayers shelling out lots of money for very harmful drugs for a bunch of addicts who don't want to get straightened out. The question then becomes : do taxpayers think it is worth it to them to pay to dope up addicts to reduce the crime rate? What do you think? I think the Canucks are crazy.
