Suffice it to say, I’m still sick. I went to the Dr yesterday and she prescribed Azithromycin for 5 days.

California's Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage →
Excerpt of the article… read the whole article by clicking on the link above. Massachusetts in 2004 became the first, and so far only, state to legalize gay marriage; more than 9,500 couples have taken advantage of the law. But the California ruling is considered monumental by virtue of the state’s size — 38 million out of a U.S. population of 302 million — and its...
On benefits, gay couples already covered →
“If an out-of-state company has a benefit plan and it defines the people getting it as ‘employee and spouse,’ then a person in a marriage by a same-sex couple in California would get the benefit,” said Jon Davidson, legal director of Lambda Legal, a nonprofit advocacy organization on gay civil rights issues. “That person is legally the spouse here, so it would...
