Those teens will soon be the next voting bloc. Legislatures are cutting their own throats.

When I had a garden, I learned about "Lasagna Gardening" which is a no-till project. Best crops I ever had. Highly recommended!

Char Siu pork is amazing. I like more authentic Chinese food more than the more westernized

I prefer flavour to spicy. Some hot sauces are really tasty.

Over 90 percent of transgender teens live in states that have proposed or passed anti-transgender laws, according to a new report.

The report from the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that 93 percent of transgender teens from the ages of 13 to 17 live in states where there are laws or proposed laws "banning access to gender-affirming care, participation in sports, use of bathrooms and other sex-separated facilities, or affirmation of gender through pronoun use."

"For the second straight year, hundreds of bills impacting transgender youth were introduced in state legislatures," said Elana Redfield, federal policy director at the Williams Institute and the lead author of the report, in a press release. "The diverging legal landscape has created a deep divide in the rights and protections for transgender youth and their families across the country."

The report also found about 85 percent of transgender teens in the South and 40 percent of transgender teens in the Midwest lived in states with at least one anti-transgender law. The report defined transgender teens as those between the ages of 13 and 17.

I'm happy for you, Allie. The reactions you're sharing speak to the quality of your letter, your character, your family, and their friends.

I'm also jealous. I still have a sister who's ashamed of me...after four decades.

However, I look at the content of your character and I understand why you're judging you as they do.

So genuinely about your sister.
I don't have to tell you that speaks to her character and not yours, but I'm also sure knowing that doesn't make it sting any less.

Do you like to eat spicy foods?

What are some of them?  Curries?  Spicy fried chicken?  Perhaps chicken wings with hot, spicy sauce?  Horseradish sauce with cold devined shrimp?

Peppers?
