There are about 2 people I'd let mess with my glasses: My best friend, and my boy toy (who has never actually seen me in my glasses and doesn't know that I've never really seen the details of his face particularly well up close) I'm far sighted and have occasional issues with vertical nystagmus in my right eye due to a traumatic brain injury as a teen so I don't generally wear them since I do alright with compensating unless it's night time or I'm dealing with a migraine. But! They've expensive as hell with fancy prism lenses, like 4 different specific coatings, and they're an older frame style that I just buy new lenses for every few years. The lenses alone cost me almost $500 with my insurance. My best friend has touched my glasses twice during wine and whine nights when I've passed out on the couch, and boyfriend doesn't know they exist, but he's going to figure it out fairly soon because I'm sick of not reading before bed when he comes over.

I have acquired my pets through 4 means, ranked by how often they happen:
1. Porch Finds: my late ferret I got from being dumped on my porch, and my eldest cat was a kitten that just kinda showed up on my porch
2. Foster Fails/Rescue Work: Pet came in through our Kitten Program or through the dog Rescue we provide care for at the clinic and they end up just coming home, my terrier and my youngest cat were acquired through this method
3. Reputable hobby breeders: 1-3 year wait list, 1 to 2 litters every year or two, I typically look for dogs that are coming from proven working lines with performance titles and solid conformation, I want to see the temperaments and sociability of the lines, and I want to see examples of the dogs produced and what they're doing in their work. I pretty much stick to this option with my PPD and Service prospects.
4. Wash Dogs and Private Rehoming: This is how I got my mal, he's a very nice imported, Netherlands bred Malinois with a Dutch Navy sire and a former police dam. He was imported for a DOD/Homeland security partnered bomb training program along with 4 of his littermates, however, he proved to be too handler focused bordering on Handler dependant for bomb and searching work. I worked with one of their trainers, and he knew I had to retire my prior cardiac alert dog and offered him to me for $1000. He's now a lovely dual purpose protection sports and cardiac alert dog, and yes, he is very handler focused, but that was matter of finding the right job for being handler focused rather than destroying a dog and wasting resources by forcing him into a role he wasn't suited for.
4.5 Importing dogs: Importing a proven dog or a prospect from a proven line is a better option for some breeds when you're looking to fill a specific job for a dog, and the breed has low availability or poor breeding in the United States, balanced working mals and GSDs are incredibly hard to find in the US, and most reputable working line breeders here are also importing dogs to supplement their lines and lower their inbreeding coefficient. If I hadn't come across my Mal as a wash dog, I was looking at taking a trip to Europe to source a quality Malinois. It is a mid 4 to low 5 figure investment for a young, untrained dog and higher for finished dogs. Typically, this route is pursued by organizations and serious sport and working handlers or preservation breeders it is not typical for pet owner sourcing.

There really... aren't solid reasons as to why the pope can't be female. It ties back to the semi-false idea that Christ only had male disciples and apostles (though Mary Magdalene and her title Apostle of Apostles calls this into question), there are also letters of Paul from the early days about women priests that, taken out of context, imply no woman should ever be a priest, but in the context of the times, was about the hedonistic lifestyle of high priestesses in ancient Roman and Greek religious life who utilized sex and sexual appeal as part of worship. There's a reason that the Anglican communion does not bar women from being ordained or holding positions of power within the church, as biblical scholars gain a deeper understanding of the contexts and meanings in texts as well as gain better understandings of the original texts in their native languages.
hi current and former catholics on radblr. is there a reason there cant be a female pope (i understand the requirement includes being male and baptized)? like is it actually something that makes sense-ish or is it just a long running tradition of only males having power. Or is it something to do with the original pope (peter). i am just curious
