H found out when he got home (I've been home with an middle ear infection...mmm...vertigo....) and got on there. He was diplomatic, as ever. It's lucky I didn't get on there and write my own rebuttal..... His blog would've been blue after that.. -A.
My husband has this friend. They've been friends from high school so I'd say the friendship is a good decade-plus old. It's fairly obvious that neither H's friend nor I have anything in common, so we generally just ignore each other. I'm happy when H gets to hang out with the friend, but I see no need to make him or myself uncomfortable. Therefore we don't know each o
We have to maintain decorum Ha ha, you said "decorum" in relation to an NFL game! Point taken, of course. If he doesn't like the rules, he shouldn't have to just stay home and watch TV. But I don't support him
Linking to slashdot? Interesting supposition. I may click that link.... -A.
^^I second that. Of course, the only people I've taught have been 18 or older so I don't have to listen to their parents. I'm convinced that's the way to go. Good on you and keep up the good work. Cheers. -A.
I don't understand why people want to pigeonhole themselves. I don't want people to say, "Oh, Anglo's a liberal so she probably believes in ___________." I'd rather thoughtfully decide what I think on issues instead of toeing any party line or feeling like I should believe something to fit in with my party. My $0.02. So if I were you, I'd go with "not." -A.
"Just do it"...but what? Which one? The whole making-a-decision thing isn't easy, either. -A.
At age 14 I chose to skip eighth grade and head straight to a parochial boarding school. I lived there nine months of the year for four years, spending my summers and holidays with my family. College was the same thing in a different place, only I spent my summers as a whitewater rafting guide instead of with my parents. Every year in college I worked a different job
You make me smile, Mugz. I look forward to being within 1,000 miles of you, give or take. -A.
H and I have been married for a little over a year now, and after we got married he—for reasons only he can divine—quit blogging, talking to friends, etc. I like to think it was because of all the sex. (There's a line somewhere...I may have crossed it.) Anyway, his friends would call him up and say, "Hey, why aren't you doing things with us?" And he'd just be all noncommital. An
Hey Shades, nice to see you. I think we'd get along pretty well, too. But as I reread this blog, clearly the 4 oz of bad white wine was going to my head. Dharma, I'd love to discuss the book. You want to start a new thread, or go for it here? I don't care. Have you read the "To His Coy Mistress" by Andres Marvell? I'm pretty sure that was a one key to the book. -A.
{shrug} I was spanked. It worked. Yup, me too. Spanking was kind of what we got if we continued to disobey, not some knee-jerk reaction because they were angry. My aunt and uncle, on the other hand, went for the "reasoning" method and I poignantly remember when we were delayed for an HOUR while my aunt
A co-worker of mine invited me to join her book club. They were currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife (which, by the way, I highly recommend) and it would be held tonight at one of the member's homes. I don't know my co-worker very well, but she seems like the type I would really like, so I accepted the invitation, read the book, and went to the house.
Yeah, not too long ago I was proofreading my brother's personal statement or whatever that is. Hope you and he aren't applying for the same ones.... Good to hear from you. -A.
Who did Diane Rehm sleep with to get her voice on radio? Listening to her is about as pleasant as massaging my ear with a cheese grater.
What I love is the statement put out by the school, available here . It's in PDF format so I've retyped it: Thank you for your inquiry regarding a student that had been enrolled at Ontario Christian School. The student is not attending Ontario Christian, as the family does not meet admissions criteria. The ministry of Ontario Christian is to promote discipleship of Jesus Christ as defined by the Bible and consistent wit
Let me get this straight: You voluntarily put up your paper on a cheat site for other people to use? Which is a bit hard to swallow, by the way. And you don't mind other lazy-asses profiting from your work, hard or otherwise? You want to contribute to the general world stupidity epidemic? Huh. You're just as bad as them, then, and I hope you fail. -A.
I'll use my old standby for this one: blame the media. With articles like Tyra Bank's real breasts that are on the home page of a major search engine, I almost feel sympathetic towards organizations like this . -A.
As for the convention center being the rapists' fault, I'm sorry, but that is utter bullshit. You leave hundreds, thousands of people who have just experienced a severe trauma, are living in awful, sanitariless conditions, and recieving very low amounts of food and water in a centralized location for an extended period of time...
That was 40 years ago. In 2001 Bush had a study that said what had to be done to prevent what just took place. Bush did NOTHING to even attempt to correct the problem! He CUT THE funding that was being provided by diverting it within the DoD budget from New Orleans to other uses! I've said it before an
Democrats need to come to the realization that many Republicans came to long ago -- government, all government, is incompotent. Some are less incompotent than others but incompotent just the same. A lovely cynical quote to add to my database. Good blog, greywar. I agree. -A.
I'm glad to hear this. I have no clue what's going on but take care. Are you starting your fourth year now? I can't remember. (Seriously, no short-term memory here. Or long-term.) Best. -A.
Sorry to hear it. Hope you recover soon. -A.
I thought you mean't the democrats. That made me laugh out loud. Great title, by the way. -A.
Personally, I've always wanted to ride a gondola in Venice. Why not? -A.
