an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Hi, guys.
So I'm thinking about opening my own vintage store. Like an actual meatspace one. I am kind of terrified of the logistics, though.

That's very exciting, Holli!

It is! I mentioned terrifying, though, right? Because I have no idea where to begin, beyond "write a business plan" and "hope someone gives me money."

Is it an antiques store, Holli? Because I used to work with someone who had one about 15 years ago, and I'm sure I can find out his current contact info if you have any questions on the business.

Pennsylvania mother eats poppy seed bagel, newborn baby seized
The ACLU of Pennsylvania recently filed a civil rights lawsuit on behalf of a couple whose newborn baby was kidnapped by Lawrence County Children and Youth Services (LCCYS) because her mother recklessly consumed an "everything" bagel from Dunkin' Donuts the day before the birth.
Jameson Hospital, where Isabella Rodriguez was born on April 27, has a policy of testing expectant mothers' urine for illegal drugs and reporting positive results to LCCYS, even without any additional evidence that the baby is in danger of neglect or abuse. LCCYS, in turn, has a policy of seizing such babies from their homes based on nothing more than the test result.
Unfortunately for Isabella's parents, Elizabeth Mort and Alex Rodriguez, Jameson sets the cutoff level for its opiate test so low that it can be triggered by poppy seeds, which is why two caseworkers and two Neshannock Township police officers visited their home the day after baby and mother returned from the hospital. LCCYS seized the three-day-old girl and put her in foster care for five days before conceding it had made a mistake.
