Aww, dang, Alaskans. I'm sorry.

[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.
When I was at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, he came and spoke to my English class (about 12-14 people) for about 2-3 hours. We weren't any special class, but he had a few extra hours and the teacher asked him, so he said ok. We talked about a variety of issues facing Alaska and the world. His thorough understanding of the issues amazed me. He explained implications of actions that I never would have thought of, and yet they made perfect sense.
He was talking about an oil subsidy for rural Alaskans. This subsidy was not based on need, just location. He thought that people made a choice to live in rural Alaska, that there were pros and cons to that choice, but that others shouldn't subsidize that choice. He discussed many other aspects of the subsidy, pro and con, but I was always impressed that he said what he believed, even if it would cost him, as someone who was eligible for the subsidy, thousands of dollars a year.
I had to google, because I thought you were calling Lilybean soup.
lib, he came and spoke to my H.S. history class, as well. Sigh.

Yup.
That was before she got all sweaty and I changed her into her dingo shirt and a pair of shorts.
Snerf. She's just fallen asleep on her activity mat. I have no idea if I can extract her. Hmm.
It's not a nap-safe place.
Why is it not nap-safe?

Places are only nap-safe if I feel I can go take a much-needed shower when she's in them. Otherwise, they're mommy traps.
In this case, soft padded thing on the floor where she could either roll over or the cats could decide she's a toy.
