I recently read a headline that commercial surrogacy pits progressives against feminists. Is it altruism or exploitation - or something else? While countries like Sweden have banned it, New York lifted its ban. Tomorrow my guest is a currently pregnant surrogate who I met at the YMCA. She is willing to talk about this issue and answer your questions. Please leave them below. Obviously the article attached here is biased but it gives an opposite perspective from what you’ll hear tomorrow.

Those of us who live in the country mostly prefer to avoid people, especially naked strangers. That’s for city folk. So you can imagine my surprise today upon seeing a man who resembled the form of a shaven Santa, completely nude in the gym sauna. He was changing out of his bathing suit and seemed rather shocked to see another person. He told me, “I didn’t think anyone else would be here!” I said, “Well it’s a gym.” Yes it is a country gym but this isn’t a red heat lamp in someone’s cow pasture. Long story short: keep your Christmas packages wrapped up this holiday season.
Sassy has been my best trail buddy, partner in crime, late night listener, comic relief for 32 years. This week she got a little sick, but thankfully recovered quickly, reminding me that every day is a blessing and never to take for granted a simple scratch or winnie. For a little 11-year old girl to grow up with a horse, and then throw her kids up as a 44-year old mom, is special in a way I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to describe. Our friend Nick’s farm @growingbacktoeden produces the most wonderful carrots and Sassy’s absolute favorite part is the carrot top. So of course - Sassy gets what Sassy wants!
I stopped eating bread a couple years ago when I went “high-fat / low-carb” for health reasons. I had never heard the benefits of freshly-milled grains - only how bad bread is for our metabolism. I had always seen bread as a treat, not as a nutritious food. Now I know that when flour is freshly milled, using the entire grain, bread can offer a host of vitamins and minerals. It’s entirely different than commercial breads at grocery stores. While I still focus on protein and healthy fats, I am back to enjoying bread that we make at home, immediately after grinding our own flour. It’s delicious and gives me another excuse to eat more butter!
But it kept MAGAville distracted and placated. While funneling money to the Technate. MAGAfanatics have fallen for the same scam 3x over. The number of times Donald John Trump has done it, so far...
