I'm a damned proud third generation contributer to Planned Parenthood. My grandmother started the tradition, bless her heart.

I do other things, tutoring mostly. But can I just brag on my mom here for a bit? She gave money, gave computers, and recruited skills teachers for the first ever battered women's shelter in my tiny little macho home town. And when it was burned to the ground by an irate ex-husband.....she helped find the site that they helped rebuild it on. She's a silent supporter, no-one in the town knows she's doing it. She's just a quiet sort...doesn't want anyone fussing over her, she's never been a battered wife. But I know, I'm damned proud, and I never get a chance to say so.....'cept here no-one will know (especially her). So I'm gonna. Way to go MOM!
