My back hurts and I don't want to watch this bad show again.
Aww, what a double dose of suck. My condolences, aurelia.

Since we seem to be going with the cranky, I thought I'd let it out.
I say we wear our crankypants and our freak flags with pride.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm tired, right down into my bones. I can barely function, here.
I slept for about 10 hours, and still, I want more sleep. So tired.

there was a rat's ass in our backyard this morning.
She already said she has no intention of gifting so you are probably going to have to find somewhere else to offload it....
And ew gross.
Best wishes and comfort and all that kinda stuff hoped for Calli & Ouise's families.

Our wings are not tired.
You deserve a nice rest Allyson.
Laura, is your profile address good?
Yes dear.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
So, I (as part of a group, which makes everything so much more fun) am trying to work up a unit plan on the American Revolution for 7th graders, based around a chapter that was given to us. I'm actually learning a lot (the heavens preserve the Internet!), but the more I try to plan, the more things I realize I have to put in there, partly because the chapter is ridiculously simplistic (in ways I'd be wicked pleased to share, but unless someone is interested I'm gonna rein myself in). Oh, did I say simplistic? I meant simplistic and, it turns out, wrong. Just realized that it has one fact simply and blatantly incorrect. I don't know what book it's from, I just know it's what we're supposed to plan the unit around. I'm going to add stuff about "questioning the author" and some primary references which should give the right information, but I'm wondering how one would, in the case of a real lesson, address the textbook being just simply wrong.

I had one teacher who instructed us to open to page such&such, and with a black pen, go to the line where it said blablahwrongcakes AND CROSS IT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS WRONG. (Caps because he kinda yelled. He was excitable.) I don't recall any explanation being given. This was for a biology text.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The Melbourne Cup has a holiday?
It surely does in Melbourne. Not the rest of the country, they just stop work while the actual race is on.
As far as I know, Melbourne is the only place in the world that gets a day off for a horse race.

Cause, see:
But the British did not repeal the Stamp Act. In fact, they put new taxes on the colonies. . . .
Many people were angered when the British would not change the Stamp Act or the new Townshend Act.
See, the Stamp Act was passed in October 1765 and the Townshed Act in 1767... and the Stamp Act was repealed in March 1766. Great. Now I have real confidence in this book. Oh, and! They totally give no explanation for the Proclamation of 1763 which mumble mumble...
Sorry. Reining.
