Thanks on the coffee recommendations. I knew the coffee-philes amongst the Bitches would come through for me.

Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The Wireheads think I'm a perv. I'm trying to decide whether to be disgusted or amused. But, obviously having y'all as my second lifetime board culture has marked me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hell, AmyLiz, that sounds like less than the homework Emmett's getting now in the third grade.
Emmett has about 30-45 minutes of homework every night, plus some to do over the weekend. As I mentioned, he missed three days of school this week being sick and had to catch up on 22 pages of homework (much of it double sided math sheets). Though I actually think he's getting more homework than is strictly necessary, he's dealing with it very well.
Honestly, I'm blown away by his school's high standards, but the flipside is I think I underestimated how much a third grader could learn. I mean - they're working on paragraph structure and composition, and pre-algebra.

Whoa. Go Emmett! What, is my perversity that forgone of a conclusion?(checks thread) Oh, yeah. Right. The Other Board needs McNulty's Bitches, that's the real problem.

Thrive to spite them
erika -- where do people think you are a perv? What are The Wire fans hang ups? It's not like the Wire is wholesome family entertainment.

Pffft, you're still fairly vanilla for this board. We just skew the curve.

Around here we use a french curve for a straight edge.

Because books.

Yeah, I was amazed to discover they teach proofing marks to third graders here. And the whole prewrite and editing process later.
Ben has more homework than Jake (he's in second grade) and while some of it is the fact that he has to work harder at it -- new material, learning cursive -- he still has more hands-on homework every night than his brother. Plus free reading for a reading log.
Really gone now. The Girl Scout Thin Mints delivered this morning won't even see me coming.

He said "curve" huh huh huh. I think they are unprepared for my sense of humor. Most people are, outside of squadrooms and city desks...the medical examiner. You guys are like that sexy chick Tim met in the fetish store.
