Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That doesn't sound evil to me -- it sounds brilliant.

Ann, that's a ferret.

That whole thing confused me. Can't churches in general discriminate (religiously anyway) in hiring practices?

The Salvation Army wanted to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, not religious belief.

Not on federally-funded projects. Or if they get federal funding at all. At least, that used to be the case.

Sure, but you couldn't be both homosexual (probably 'practicing homosexual') and Salvation Armyian.

Not saying its morally right, I just don't know why its legally unusual.

Of course, the feds will ONLY fund 'abstainance only' anti-AIDS programs overseas. t smacks head on walls

At least the original request involved the Salvation Army's right to ignore state anti-discrimination laws when using federal funds for "faith-based initiatives." So, use of federal money involved.

I'm back in my hobbit hole, and my mother and sister are 250 miles away.

Welcome back Ginger. I am glad you survived the family vacation.

{{{Betsy}}} Good luck dealing with the band situation.

Mostly lurking...

Looking at classes for Spring. I want to take 7. That's a bit much, I'm thinking...

Ah, now I understand.

Props though for their helping anyone. I wish they were more equitable, but it seems like they're at least 'getting it' on the one front.

I'm sorry the band stuff's not working well for Will.

But I'm glad the work and daycare stuff's coming together for Susan. Boy, that plus writing is a lot to juggle.
