'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tonight:
Drinking with Carla, then getting on a train and traveling 100 miles to go drinking with my brother. Tomorrow a crazy-ass wedding with lots of potential for drama. Sunday watching football and taking my dog back from my Dad (she's been visiting grampa for the past week).
"I'm happy for them, but we're going to send them to Maury Povich's show for a DNA test."
This, I love.
Said she'd met cows she'd liked, so she didn't eat them. She'd met chickens she'd used as shuttlecocks, so eating them was the greater mercy.
Yup, that's me. 'Don't eat it if you can't kill it' is my meat-eating motto, so it's just chicken and fish for me. Chickens are just heinous little beady-eyed monsters.
I'm looking forward to the first weekend in a while that doesn't somehow involve moving. So I have no plans. Maybe improv. Maybe Serenity. Maybe BOTH!
He adds, "I'm happy for them, but we're going to send them to Maury Povich's show for a DNA test."
Hee.
I can't tell if Tony Danza's rant was tongue in cheek or not, though. I could see it either way.
Scientologists believe children should be brought into the world without any fuss and be allowed to quietly get used to their surroundings. That means no music, no chatting and no expressions of pain from the mother. Preston explains, "It's just because everything in moments of pain is really recorded and you want to have that (the birth) peaceful and clear of sort of suggestions or different words that can then affect them (babies) in their future."
@@4evah!
Wow. The levels of stupid there are breathtaking.
...so optimally, the mother is unconscious?
The levels of stupid there are breathtaking.
I can't speak from personal experience, but I suspect the "no sounds or expressions of pain" thing won't last terribly long once labor really gets going. Especially without drugs.

SHHHH. Their lawyers might hear you.

Eh, I wasn't especially loud, and probably could have done the whole thing quietly, but birth isn't exactly peaceful for the kidlet, who's the one getting his or her head squished while he or she gets pushed out.
So, the notion that somehow being a quiet little woman while you do it makes it all better is... kind of absurd.
