Tea and crumpets. Discuss.
Wait, I get some crumpet? I like this discussion.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I know lots of people that share MM's opinion. People that I care about and respect. I even understand the emotions that drive those opinions. I don't have to agree with them and I don't for the most part. But I know the issue isn't black and white. It's complex and messy and emotional.
I also know, deep down, that I would want to kill (personally, with my own freakin' hands) anyone that did ANYTHING to my child. Even though I know, intellectually, that that would be wrong.
Kristin, is there clotted cream?

In related news, I just made brownies from scratch.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
There could be puppies, too.

mmmm...brownies.
That reminds me. I need to make something to take to a friend's dinner tonight. I just don't know whether to make a dessert or a side dish.

The brownies are to celebrate the arrival of the second half of our stuff, which includes the exercise bike. What? It makes sense to me.
I haven't tried one yet, so I don't actually know if I made brownies or made a mess. The trick is always the baking. Our oven has several settings (top and bottom radiant heat, bottom radiant plus fan, fan heat only, etc) and I never know which to use.
I've also made a ton of baby food, done three loads of dishes, two loads of laundry, and scrubbed down all the baby equipment. I'm now going to sit on my butt.

Our wings are not tired.
Hoping to find crumpets and tea remaining.
Busy weekend. Last night's Bar Mitzvah was nice. We ended up drinking back at the host's house until the wee hours. Today is a big brunch thing.
We also have the big Nascar weekend happening but things are off to a rocky start. We have this approaching tropical storm named Gamma complicating life. Last night's race was rescheduled for 8:30 this morning. I don't know if the afternoon race will be pushed back. The more stuff is pushed back the closer the storm gets.
I hope Gamma fizzles out because we have huge debris piles everywhere. There are so many people with damaged roofs. Ugh.

Emotionally, I'm with MM, too. I catch you molesting a child --> I get to kill you.
But even just serving once on jury duty was enough to show me how completely fucked the system is, and I had a pretty strong emotional reaction to that too. There are good people in the justice system, and for the most part they are all trying to uncover the truth and render honest and fair verdicts, but there's so much room for error I don't even know where to begin. According to everything I've ever read about how the human brain and memory works, eyewitness testimony's just about the least reliable form of evidence ever. People make things up all the time and they don't even know it.
