The cost isn't reduced anymore, and that's another contributor to this problem. $300 for a neuter, $550 to get shots and a neuter for a stray at local veterinary offices. You have to find a non-profit doing low-cost operations to get a cat neutered for under $150 in my state. Insurance in the veterinary market was a truly cruel and stupid idea.

She "bought" the lectern from a friend of hers, then she and the friend took a trip to Paris with the money (is the word on the street in Little Rock).
The Baptists in my family don't know what "Christian nationalism" means but would like the sound of it, and they basically equate the pope with a rainbow flag. I wish, but this pope isn't changing minds in the American South, even if he tries.

You could also read up on (or just check the Wikipedia page for) "Nouvelle France;" there's a section on the settlers. All around the Great Lakes and all the way down to the Gulf were French settlements, and the names are largely still there, just weirdly Anglicized. In Arkansas, "La Petit Roche" is Little Rock, there's a mountain called Petit Jean that's pronounced "Petty Gene," and (my favorite) "Aux Arcs" became "Ozarks." The French influence is still everywhere in the Louisiana Purchase area, it's just misspelled, mispronounced, or we've forgotten it was once French. It blended right in.
I think the thing it does is prevent migraines. I was getting 1-2 a month and now it's 1-2 a year. Smoking after a migraine starts makes me feel like my head might actually fall off my body, no fun.
