Government & Politicians - KEEP OUT!

Image
www.wednedaysattic.com I certainly do believe that Women should have the same rights and opportunities as Men. I don't think I would call myself a feminist, but I really feel that the Government and these Politicians have no place in deciding what women should be allowed to do with their bodies.  Why the hell is contraception a political issue? Attention politicians of all parties, WOMEN have  been making decisions about birth control, abortion and whether or not to follow religious doctrine regarding these issues for thousands of years!  Government has no place in these decisions!

The Oscar statuette is officially named the Academy Award of Merit and is one of nine types of Academy Awards. It is a pretty big deal the world over because , well.   just about everyone enjoys a great movie and then there are the favorite stars.  The Oscars as the awards are also known by happen at the now former Kodak Theatre. It is to be referred to as the Hollywood and Highland Center Theatre now- or until such time as some company ponies up big $$ to get their name on this high profile complex.

Super Sized Lobster!

www.wednesdaysattic.com This is Rocky, he was caught of the coast of Maine last week. Today The 40-inch male crustacean, about the size of a 3-year-old human, was freed in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. I am happy that he was set free. According to those in the know, Lobster age is between 7 and 10 years per pound.  That would make Rocky between 189 and 270 years old! Amazing! Read more HERE

When the President comes to Los Angeles

Image
Dear Mr. President,  We don't mind you visiting Los Angeles, you are welcome to come out when you want some sun and surf ( not just when campaigning)  But please, can you arrive in the late morning, or middle of the night?  Here is what your visits and the blocking of streets , usually in West L.A. where the traffic is even worse creates. . .  Traffic is horrid with all the streets open, and of course you realize that many are closed to all except your motorcade when you travel between events. Perhaps you would consider traveling by helicopter between gigs when you are here? Just askin.

A Batty Valentine

www.wednesdaysattic.com BEST Valentine EVER! My sweet husband gifted me with this little guy for Valentine's Day this year! Hipposideridae is a family  of bats  commonly known as the "Old World Leaf-nosed Bats". While it has often been seen as a subfamily, Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae, it is now more generally classified as its own family. Nevertheless, it is most closely related to Rhinolophidae within the suborder Pteropodiformes (or Yinpterochiroptera). Hipposideridae contains ten living genera and more than 70 species, mostly in the widespread genus Hipposideros . In addition, several fossil genera are known; the oldest fossils attributed to the family are from the middle Eocene of Europe. Thank You sweetie!

Rachel Kaufman  for National Geographic News  Published February 8, 2012  A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. And a new species of Amorphophallus—the genus that includes the "corpse flower"—still smells like rotting meat and feces.  Discovered on an island off the coast of Madagascar, the newfound plant grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) high and blooms once a year with a "really foul" stench, according to discoverer Greg Wahlert, a postdoctoral researcher in botany at the University of Utah. Lynn Bohs, a biology professor in the same lab as Wahlert, described the smell in a statement as a combination of "rotting roadkill" and a "Porta Potty." The new flower adds to the roughly 170 species in the Amorphophall...
