TCBITW is nearly SEVEN?!?!?!?!?
How do these things happen ?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, Trudy, it starts with a man and a woman....

If I only had a brain...
At least it's a spoon with some. Others, you need a ladle.
Mine? Firehose.

I missed your post erikaj, you deleted before I got caught up.
The whole lack of common sense thing sounds very frustrating. I hope the common sense fairy makes some visits.

Are you sure your son isn't my son?
I know! It would be so easy for them to just do the damn work and hand it in. But it gets lost. He doesn't put his name on it. It's never ending and next year the teachers get less tolerant.
By the numbers he shouldn't even be passed on to high school, but all that seems to matter are the testing scores and of course he nails those. Grrr.
I did just eat a huge bowl of tomato soup with oyster crackers. Yum. Comfort food.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, it's okay. Expletive-laden blurting only rarely adds to things, outside of Deadwood.

I keep trying to talk her into soccer team, but she doesn't want to join a team even she talks about liking soccer. Parenting hard.
Yeah, sports are good for the social skills. And that much more parent work! We do have a lot of kids in the neighborhood. Neither of the boys go to their "home" schools so the friends they make at school they don't see that much out of school. The friends in the neighborhood they don't go to school with. Kids need other kids.

move out and draw fire
That's what concerns me about home-schooling also. In my opinion, school is about socialization, not learning data. I learned just as much on my own, or from my parents, as far as factual stuff (what's "torque?" what are the primary colors?) but what few social skills I developed I got from school.
I think it's pretty crucial to go through the good and the bad stuff at school; the group dynamics, being picked last for football and first for Ac-Dec, learning to turn work in on time, getting up and having to be someplace.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee - my DH could use one. Pretty please?
Lessee...a husband smiting....a good, annoying one that won't affect the day to day living of the rest of the family.
May each of his toes begin to sprout red hairs. And all of his shoes turn into open toed, strappy sandals. Even if he buys new ones.
