It scares me that there are women out there who might read Cruise's comments and not seek help for PPD because of it.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

[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.

ARGH. So, I"m doing covers/resumes for teaching jobs, and one wants a copy of a transcript. I go to the university site to print out one, and I find out I have a Incomplete in my student teaching. WTF? My prof emailed us, and told use everyone had an A in the course, and my portfolio was reviewed and passed.
I'm so pissed --what the fuck else can go wrong?

Oh {{{Erin}}}, how frustrating. Is it possible to contact your prof during the summer? I am sorry this is happening.

I emailed her, and if I don't hear back tomorrow, I'm calling her at home. I don't have time for this bullshit. It's fucking JUNE.

I hope you hear back quickly.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
"Is Jesus your lord and savior?"
"For sure!" (thinking, well, if he exisited, he's a good guy, and damn, he came through with gas money today"
This made me laugh and laugh, because it's so exactly the way I would handle such a bizarre situation.
I didn't actually see Tom on Oprah, but the comments I heard made it sound like he was reviving his character from Magnolia. And that Katie Holmes looked like she was being held hostage.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Cereal:
Yuck. My cousin who just died had an 18 year old daughter, who has a boyfriend who is a Bad Sort. Apparently, when Bob died, so did their meal ticket. (He was on disability and they were living with him. Now she wants to have a baby to go on welfare. Yeah. Awesome.) My great-aunt has decided to change her locks because the girl has a key, and we don't doubt that Bad Sort boyfriend, now that he is banned from the house, will try to get in. He hung around the hospital while Bob was there, and saw us all going in and out, and I guess he started with my mother and aunts when they got to the hospital just after the death, were upset, and said they didn't want to see him. It's just all so Cops.
Anyhoodle, the whole situation makes me a little nervous. I had the craxy idea that to get the women in the family into one of those simple little self-defense courses they have, I think at the hospital. I don't know how strenuous they are, but I'm wondering if a 70 year old woman could get anything from it. (Or if she could even take it.) She isn't particularly infirm, but while I don't expect her to be able to take a 23 year old man down, maybe she could get some tips? If I posed it as a fun family activity, she may buy it. Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing?

I guess that would be her safest bet. I was hoping for something like Eye Gouging 101, or Kicks to the Groin: How to Make Them Work For You.
It just makes me sad that there are boys who need to physically threaten dying people and the elderly to feel like men.
