tvordljSaw this flutter by on twitter this morning. A man tried to lodge a complaint with the police because the prostitute he'd booked wasn't as attractive as she'd made herself out to be, in his opinion. He thought it was false advertising! The police told the guy that in fact, he's the one breaking the law by booking a prostitute! They didn't charge him but sent him a letter for wasting police time! Ha!
In other news, the province of Nova Scotia is the 8th province in Canada to fund transgender surgery rather than make people pay for it. That means the taxpayers' dollars of course and some people are bitching that it's not necessary surgery, not necessary for survival. Tell that to all the people that have struggled with mental health issues or committed suicide because they are dealing with these kinds of issues. I'd say it's very much a survival thing. We are one of the last provinces to finally join the 21st century on this issue in spite of the fact that we were one of the first to pass the law for same sex marraige which eventually forced the federal government to have an open vote on the issue, a vote which passed by a hair but passed just the same.
We may see the sun this weekend. That will be the faint hope clause. It's been overcast and rainy for more than a week. bleurgh.
