Ya know that other night that I said...

...No rain for us on the coast; two night's ago?
Well, for the whole time I had said that here on this blog and a while after there wasn't any, but then WHOOSH and WOW, we did get quite a bit and more yesterday and again today!
We are truly experiencing our rainy season in an extremely wet way!Even one confirmed tornado was way south of here the other day!

But as most Floridians will tell you wet, even inches and inches and a few broken branches from wind is never ever as bad as a full fledged HURRICANE!
It is so early in the season though and all this unbearable heat is setting them off, the rain that is, according to most of the meteorologists. After the beneficial cooling rains the temperature drops twenty degrees!
Yep, from the nineties down to the seventies.

Moving on...
Today one of my Facebook friends posted a pro planned parenthood article, and I too am for women having control over their bodies and all decisions concerning procreation in every situation!
Although, even though Roe Vs. Wade was passed in 1973 I was a very happily married mom by then for two years.
We had our first son and all by then, our second son was born in 1976, after a miss-carriage at four months' pregnancy in between and that was devastating.
When  I was expecting our second son I also had to be hospitalized in my third month and almost lost him too!
But he was born healthy after.
I so wanted a daughter too to round  out our family and so we tried again and I miss-carried in only six weeks, and then a while later once more another valiant try and again at four months I miss-carried,that made five pregnancies in only ten years and that carried an emotional as well as a physical devastation that few could ever know or even want to...I personally would never have an abortion due to my personal experiences of so much wanting another child, but even so I can well understand many circumstances that would be very good reasons, such as... rape, incest, socio-economic, yes even that, medical concerns, being a child yourself, so many truly honest ones that I have no right to judge.
So as a woman and for that alone I too understand...so at the rather young age of thirty-one and a month after that last horrendous loss/my third miss-carriage I had a tubiligation, which  I do believe planned parenthood believes in as well! We had to sign papers, yes, Hubby did too. A bit archaic looking back now...  Would you believe that so I would not longer be able to assault my body by choice due to not being able to carry to term and even your legal husband had to sign to validate that you were allowed to make that choice, in New Jersey in 1981, eight years after the passing of Roe Vs. Wade making so many laws for women to have a choice on how they decided on having a child or not... ! To this day I wonder if men are treated that way when they decide to get a vasectomy?

I felt I was the one having the problem holding the pregnancy and so I felt that Hubby should not go through any, even so-called minimal surgery. In those days a tubiligation was a small incision surgery for me, after I was sorry that I did it, but it was for the best and no, it was not the reversible kind...
Oh being sorry was more due to my Mom passing away about five months later, silly, huh?

Today, I am happy that we have two healthy sons that are wonderful each in their own ways...

On that note of wishing for nothing more than for you too to have all your decisions in life be your own to own with no regrets...allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS Do we really own our own bodies?
 We should, no mortgages on them, let us please have that!
And kindly know that I do not care if you are anti anything, but allow me to have that right to be for whatever I wish too as we all should accept and respect one another for our own feelings on different topics!

Which way will the war go?
