"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

Well, in South Florida, we have a lot of rich or exclusive private schools, and nearly all are corrupted. Be it Native American, High Society, High Intellectuals, Catholic, Jewish, or Gay. The Christian Schools, are notorious for have the children with a mindset that parents mind see as the perfect child.

I know this because I'm a Critic for South Florida's drama programs. You meet a lot of kids, see a lot of Musicals, hate a lot of nine year olds.

Unrelatedly, what's the plural of OS? OSs or OSes?

operation systems :) seriously, I think OSes. OSs looks like you don't know how to type, and are stuck in the 50's

Trust my rage

At least in the Ford family, minivan vs suv or full van vs suv results in very little difference in gas mileage.

Actually, this is why I didn't feel bad. It was almost the same thing with Honda's van/SUV and I looked hard at Ford, too. PLus, I'm 5' 9" and I was really happy about a car where I wouldn't be bending over so much to put the baby seat in.

Can't talk more because I'm leaving for my first childbirth class right now. I hope it's cool.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I have a dinky 2-door Honda Civic, and I don't find strapping kids into the childseats to be all that bad. OTOH, I never had to deal with an infant bucket with the 2-door. Getting that through the door and behind the seat could be tricky.

That's my worry. Once you're back there, it's kind of roomy, but it's a tight squeeze. The seat part may prove to be tricky, though I'm sure it's doable. (I'm also sure it's going to be annoying. Annoying, but doable.)

We'd actually discussed replacing it pre-baby, but when my medical situation got tricky, Paul got spooked at the notion of spending that much money, just in case I had to suddenly stop working, and once that was no longer an issue, we'd already adjusted our priorities.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Joe and were laughing at a friend of ours back in Michigan. She was trashing another mutual friend for driving a "gas guzzling, environment ruining Explorer". I looked at her and said, "Doesn't your family drive a club wagon? THAT guzzles more gas and puts more crap in the air than that Explorer, yet I don't see you trashing your mother."

She shut up.

You can also get Ford Explorers and Dodge Caravans that have flexible fuel engines and can burn E85 instead of gasoline, if that's available in your area.

Actually, it's kind of funny. We have this big comfortable minivan, but when we're out and about in the city as a family we almost exclusively use our little Honda since it uses so much less gas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

how does the goat consent, you crazy people.

There was some initiating nibbling as I recall.

Emmett's entire home city is fairly corrupted with perverts and goths and whatnot.

Nutty, I think of Ethics as being the philosophy of determining right and wrong, and Morals being an individual's personal hierarchy of choices (or axis, as Betsy describes it) which or may not be philosophically sound, but represents how you make your choices.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, in South Florida, we have a lot of rich or exclusive private schools, and nearly all are corrupted. Be it Native American, High Society, High Intellectuals, Catholic, Jewish, or Gay

I don't know what this means.

I give up. It's like explaining humidity to a Roswell girl. Difficult and fustrating.
