'Out Of Gas'
[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.
how many dead people would you think would be necessary before you'd call something a massacre?
Wouldn't it depend on context? If someone killed everyone living in one house (i.e. John List killing his family of five or six in the 1970s) that could be a massacre. But as a societal thing? I think it depends on how much of a specific population was wiped out.
vw--I was once stuck at Schipol (the Amsterdam airport) for 5 hours. it's a good airport to wait around in--they have lots of chairs and newstands and a McDonalds and also nice coffee shops. They also have a massage booth and lots of nice little shops. I'm sure they had a pleasant time there--and now they are winging their way home!

I would think so.
Em, there are some interesting things that I googled:
Columbine is considered a massacre.
Massacres of history: [link]
What makes a massacre: [link]
Don't forget the Alice's Restaurant Massacree....
Robin, good to know! Thank you.
Alrighty. I'm off to the hospital. Send the ~ma at noon.
I didn't think d was Dee, because d does post, not often enough, but still. I wonder who Dee is.
Come out, come out, wherever you are, unless you're intent on a massacre, or something.
Cindy's tag is making me think of yams.
Sending vw special early ~ma because I might not be around at noon.
Sadly, I'm a yamless sahm sham. But it made me think of yams yesterday when I copped it from beth's post, too.
a yamless sahm sham
This could be my tag into perpetuity. I hate yams. And I am such a sahm sham, it's not even funny. She says as the baby giggles somewhere in the other room, unsupervised...
I'm not big on yams either, but I do think they need to be part of the Thanksgiving dinner, whether I eat them or not, just because.
My boys are at school. My daughter is going in a half an hour (and then I pick up younger son). She is watching Mr. Rogers. I actually think Mr. Rogers is a better influence on her than I could ever be. But most of my shamming comes from the housewife arena of sahmdom.
Huh. I use made up words more often than is seemly.
