'Lineage'
[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.
Remeber the NY blackout a couple years back? That's "off".
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
(Actually, I was in a log cabin in the middle of the Canadian woods at the time, so even though we lost power too, it didn't matter so much because, log cabin in the middle of the woods. We had hamburgers on the grill and listened to the radio outside. It was all very 1950's.)
(Were you wearing an apron and making apertifs?)
"That's a baby show! I want to watch Barney!"
Blasphemer! Magic School Bus is Teh Awesome!
But sex on TV is so rarely healthy!
Sigh.
Potential or actual cloth diapering mamas (Stephanie, wasn't Ellie about to outgrow her first batch of Fuzzibunz?): [link]
I have five of these already. I think they're the best fitted diaper out there, and that buy-it-now is a goooooood deal. Plus, one size, so no outgrowing. They hold stuff in better than any of my other diapers--never had a blowout with them--and fit nicely under most covers, including the Biobottoms and Bummis.
(Were you wearing an apron and making apertifs?)
I was wearing flannel pajamas and making a salad. Does that count?
Okay, I'ma stop talking about food now. The single slice of pizza I had for lunch was clearly not enough, as I am now hungry again.
Someone should bring me a snack.
Sure, I have no clue what an apertif is. It's the new jail lingo.
"He tossed my apertif."
aperitif = before-dinner cocktail to stimulate the apetite.
Ah!
I think it's a feeling that popular culture is out of control combined with publicized court cases about taking down religious symbols in public places that causes that.
It's more than that, though. There's certainly a feeling that Christianity is no longer the near religious monopoly it used to be. Now, it's finding itself competing with Islam, Wicca, atheism, and an areligious culture. Now Christians are having to answer the uncomfortable "why" questions involving faith and belief.
But, as well, there is a new anathema culturally to evangelical Christianity. Many Christians find that discussions of what they believe are being silenced or shouted down in public discourse, and that when Christianity is belittled in the public square there's approval of it where belittling non-Christian faiths brings derision. Believing, after all, is a sign that you are stupid, a sign that you need some crutch to get by.
There are a lot of people who are shutting an open, frank, and honest discussion of religion out of the public square. And these people are on all sides of the political and religious divides. We have to figure out how to get along and stop pre-judging people, and stop falling into the old blame crutches.
