I just had a few people email me and IM me because my area of the country is in the news again.

The Gloucester Pregnancy Pact was bad enough. Now some teenagers from another local town entered floats in the 4th of July parade “satirizing” the pregnancy pact and going too far. This is a parade with little kids. You’ll want to pay attention to minutes 2-3 and 5-7.

I’m all for free speech and free expression, as well as enjoying a good phallic image, but sometimes the context makes things incredibly inappropriate. Yeesh - what were the parade organizers thinking?

Edited to add: another sexually-oriented article about my state - I was IM’d this link and told to have a good time on Cape Cod. lol

      About Me: I'm a Mom living a busy life with my husband, 3 girls (10, 8, 5), Celiac Disease, homeschooling, Chronic Lyme Disease which acts like Fibromyalgia, 2 dogs, 1 puppy, 1 cat, and a lot of books & computers in a house up the hill from a New England beach. We eat great, homecooked, allergy safe food due to our food allergies & sensitivities. In my copious free time, I'm writing a book about dairy-free eating, plus I update our web pages, and read.
