Haven’t posted anything in what seems like forever. So here is something to hold you over until I once again get the time to post my usual riveting stories of failure. Cheers!

“I’m here because women dying because they can’t afford a pap smear is unacceptable” —Kathleen Hanna
Exactly. It is nice to know someone somewhere cares no matter what your situation. I currently have $3,000 dollar worth of medical bills which I can’t afford to pay and I HAVE health insurance. I am feel comforted knowing if I should need their services and have little money to pay Planned Parenthood will still care.
This Is Important, You Should Watch It of the Day: The Pence Amendment to strip Planned Parenthood of all federal funding — which Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) has been peddling for some time now like it’s the most important thing on the docket — has come around again, but hopefully was shut down for good by a moving speech delivered on the House floor by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA).
Following a slew of graphic abortion experience descriptions from a man (GOP Rep. Chris Smith of NJ), Rep. Speier revealed that she was “one of those women [Rep. Smith] spoke about just now.”
“I lost the baby,” Speier went on to say. “And for you to stand on this floor and suggest that somehow this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought, is preposterous.”
(For the record, none of the taxpayer dollars Planned Parenthood receives through the Title X Family Planning program (fractions of a penny per taxpayer) go to fund abortions, and the abortions performed by Planned Parenthood account for less than 5% of all patient services rendered, according to the latest annual report.)

Get married at the Grand Prospect Hall, where all dreams come true. But probably not.
He caught my eye at sandwich and had me at Grand Prospect Hall. What can I say — I am a woman with high standards.
HUNDREDAIRE MATCHMAKER RETURNS
Monday, February 21st at 8:00pm
at The Bell House
149 7th Street (btwn. 2nd & 3rd Aves.)
Gowanus, Brooklyn - F/G to Smith & 9thYou’re poor, you’re single, and you live with three of your closest frienemies in a two-bedroom Brooklyn apartment. And you are, surprise surprise, single as hell. Well friend, you have two choices. You can spend another evening curled up with your MacBook enjoying the warm glow of Pornhub.
Or you can throw on your classiest graphic t-shirt, dump your coin collection out of that Cafe Bustelo can and into a Coinstar machine, and join Liam McEneaney and Myka Fox at The Bell House for another edition of HUNDREDAIRE MATCHMAKER.
Yes, it’s the dating show that matches real singles rolling with singles; where you and all your broke-as-f*ck friends can meet, greet, and get set up in a fun and funny environment.. Last month, we paired a Bear Jew with a sex store clerk and a Karate Kid with some drunk-ass makeout sessions.
You may have heard about us on NPR’s Morning Edition, or read about us in The NY Press, and in the Park Slope Patch. We were also covered on the evening news in NYC and China. Yes, Chinese national TV!
FELLAS: Finally, your chance to have women out of your league compete for your affections, even though you are pretty much broke.
LADIES: Our Hundredaires will BUY YOU A DRINK, with real money not foodstamps, because you can’t buy booze with foodstamps unless the guy who works at your bodega is cool.
Entering is as easy as filing for your weekly unemployment claim - fellas and ladies, all you have to do is shoot an email to 100matchmaker@gmail.com with this info:
* OCCUPATION (IF ANY)
* CURRENT PICTURE
* WHAT WAS YOUR BEST DATE EXPERIENCE
* WHAT WAS YOUR WORST DATE EXPERIENCE
* WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN YOUR IDEAL MAN
Guys, IF YOU GET PICKED, we will ask you to create a 2-minute video to be played at the show, explaining why you would be a perfect candidate to have dozens of Brooklyn girls fighting over you and your literally hundreds of dollars. Be sure to be creative, and don’t forget to let the ladies know exactly how you plan to pamper them on your first date!
All entries must include your NAME and PHONE NUMBER.
Entries will be posted on our website: www.hundredaire.tumblr.com, but without your contact info. Unless you ask us not
“You’re poor (YES!), you’re single (OF COURSE!), and you live with three of your closest frienemies in a two-bedroom Brooklyn apartment (TWO IN A THREE BEDROOM ACTUALLY, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH). And you are, surprise surprise, single as hell (YOU BETCHA!).” - sounds like something I should be doing. Although I don’t see any mention of “degenerates welcome” … so I wonder if that would disqualify me.
