Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers! She couldn't have done it without you. The test results were negative, the tumor (despite being enormous and painful) was benign! It's good news but it's still a rough path to recovery. Soft foods, rest, rest, and more rest before she can get better. She also has to get monthly check-ups to make sure it is not a recurring issue. She is still in alot of pain from the surgery and I will continue to shower her with love until she gets better! Seems like we've got quite a few movie dates in front of us...any movie suggestions?

I can't thank all enough! I love all of you. Do me a favor, tell your loved ones you love them. Do it every single day. You never know what may happen.
Love,
Lia

I'd have to disagree with you.
I think killing them is the best option. Prison isn't Hell. Prison is rough but it is far from Hell. Giving them the essentials of living, all for free, is a reward. I hate the prison system in the United States. We spend 6 times the amount to keep prisoners incarcerated than we do on our educational system. The first step to solving crime is educating. Education must come first. We spend roughly $30,000-$60,000 per year (Dependent on the state) to keep some of these Monsters alive. One lethal injection costs roughly $1500, depending on the state. We have the highest incarceration rate in the entire world. How do we solve that? First, we must educate. Countries that put education first have shown through the decrease in crime rate. Next, we must make all drugs legal. If someone wants to put a harmful substance in their system, let them. We can monitor the drug selling, it'd boost our economy, essential end the drug war with Mexico that we spend hundreds of millions dollars to defend, and it would lower crime rate. We wouldn't have as many people incarcerated as we do now.

My uncle is a guard at a state prison here in Wisconsin. Though rapists, sex offenders, molesters, etc aren't very well liked, they have it rather easy. Often, they are put into closed or protective custody and are safe from anyone harming them. If not, they are put with inmates who aren't doing life in prison. This lowers the chance of them getting hurt since other inmates want to avoid additional charges and sentencing. Instead, these monsters get to live and maybe get a busted up face every now and then while we spend thousands and thousands of dollars to keep them alive. As a United States citizen, I think the criminal system must be fixed. Elliminating the drug war would reduce incarceration. Increasing the rate of lethal injections for capital crimes wouldn reduce the incarceration time. Essentially, we wouldn't have as many prisoners to waste tax money on and we could focus more on our failing educational system.

Thank you for the advice! I didn't know they made candles specifically for wax play! The candles we have, burn at a little warmer than room temperature but I'll certainly look into the candles' chemicals!

Haha, Maybe! That'd be a surprise!
