David's still the fogeiest!
I'm fogier. I grew up before cable programming was a twinkle in Ted Turner's eye. My childhood shows are The Mickey Mouse Show, Howdy Dowdy, Pinky Lee and The Garfield Goose Show [link]

Attached to my doorknob this morning was a flyer pointing out the negative aspects of spanking in schools. It had pictures of bruised behinds, but the main focus of the text was not the physical abuse angle--though it did point out that it's a felony to do this sort of thing to an unwilling grown-up. The flyer talked about the sexual abuse angle, pointing out that it can arouse kids who may not know what to make of those feelings, as well as giving opportunities to people who get off on dominance games.
That's going to raise some eyebrows in this town. I doubt people expect to see discussions of spanking and sex with their morning coffee. Well, most people around here, anyway.
Timelies!
I remember Liquid Television, and Ren & Stimpy, but the rest of those shows are a complete mystery to me. We got by with just the 4 channels when I was growing up. Came in on the rabbit ear antenna, that got better reception if a cat was sprawled on the TV.
Heh, thank you for your support re: my crazy non-stair climbing relatives. I mean, I know that stairs can be tough for folks, but I don't think it needs to be the sole point of discussion whenever the house is broguht up. It's upsetting, and annoying.
Oh, Nora. I forgot about that. That is entire craziness! I completely agree!

That social convention where it's okay to endlessly criticize someone else's purchases needs to end. My parents' split-level has two bathrooms, both upstairs. It is not a big deal at all. Though my mom did notice that her thighs got slimmer after they moved there from running up and down the stairs all day.
Morning. Ugh, my allergies are killing me, but someone here gave me a Zytec, so hopefully I will stop sniffling and leaking at the eyes soon.
I have slept like ass the last 3 nights, so last night was good. Even though I didn't turn out the light till about 1 ( book) I dropped off immediately. Unfortunately, I didn't want to wake up this morning, and paired with the allergies, and slightly groggy and MEH.
COFFEE.
2 days till my annual canoe trip! We leave on Friday morning early, and I'm driving with 3 of my best girlfriends, so it will be a fun roadtrip. And the weather is supposed to be perfect this weekend: 85 and sunny.

In my world we call this hot. And ick.
In Missouri, this is mild and wonderful summer.
104 degrees and 99% humidity is when we start bitching.
Oh! I just checked, and my incomplete has been turned to an A! However, they lost my application for certification, and my $5 check, which I turned in in January.
I told the nice lady I would be happy to fill out the form again, but that I thought the fee should be waived since THOSE INCOMPETENT FUCKS LOST THE DAMN THING.
It's the last straw.
