If you have pink eye, avoid rubbing it with your eyes. Just wash with an antibacterial soap to prevent infection.-

Comment on Drew Pritt, known in Alaska as Caleb Pritt, announces run for Congress in Arkansas by Mel

I cannot believe I am finding this blog at this time. Neither am I surprised at what I read.
The last part is nothing I didn’t already know, as it was my husband that drove him to all the parades and dem rallies all over the state of Arkansas when Drew “ran” for Lt. Governor. I saw the checks that came to him for his campaign, as well as the ones that didn’t. He never paid my husband for the travel expenses(gas came out of our pocket) yet in a tax filing Drew claimed he paid us $2500. When confronted, Drew claimed he paid us in food on those trips and with the Wesley Clark dinner. The Food he “gave” us on the campaign trail was bought with his mother’s food stamp card and the Wesley Clark dinner was donated to him.
You have no idea how happy I am to see someone finally going at this douche He only does harm to the GLTB community.

Comment on A new editor for Bent Alaska by Sylvia Matthews

E. Ross I would like to say that you’ve had a great idea with this blog and have wisely put it into the hands of another friend, editor Mel Green who has and will continue to streamline it to fit an across the board Alaskan LGBTQA community.

From over here on the back 40 it’s nice to see people seeking out ways to share their experiences out and about. I didn’t really get to live the community life here as I don’t and haven’t had a car since moving to Alaska from California 24 years ago. But that’s a story I may write in the near future so I’ll leave it there for now.

I’m so happy for you E the turn your life has taken, it’s just; well sweet.

A one-year waiting period wouldn’t be so bad. It’s that long for a piercing or tattoo, isn’t it?

I’m glad the policy is being revisited!

I’m glad Debbie Harris is pursuing this and challenging the workmen’s comp regulations reguarding survivor partner benefits. The GLBT community needs to keep chipping away at the legal inequities.

I hope that she receives what is cetainly due for her loss. It may never replace the love, companionship and future unfulfilled dreams. Yet, Kerry Fadely deserved her life even more. All those right -to-life supporters should be lined up in support of Debbie Harris as her loss of Kerry’s life, an equally precious one, as is any unborn child they purport to seek to save. Ms. Harris, I can not imagine the unspeakable hurt which dwells in your heart and I hope time will give you a way to cope without your beloved Kerry.
