"No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'."
I love thinking of a 6 year old saying this.
She just... she just did the math.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Feh. I walk away for a phone call, miss the turnover, and barely make it into the top fifty.
Rolling Stone take on Scientology
Not their first time, either. They did an expose a few years back, including the religion's effect and influence on Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

Someone posted a website in the last natter that provides a rough value for your house. Does anyone remember what that website is?

Re: backpacks.
A health specialist once rather callously (but truly) replied to me when I told her that I had trouble being regular about my physical therapy exercises: "Oh, you're just not in enough pain yet."
Pain makes it so that I wear my backpack with both straps now. I don't care if it looks geeky. I'm at the age where it is more important not to be in pain. Because when my RSI is bad, I can't work. And disability doesn't pay enough to live on and I don't want to go there again. Being able to hold a job is more important than looking fashionable.
When I was in junior high, my mom bought me a tote on wheels for my books. Kids made fun of me mercilessly for using it and eventually I went back to using a backpack. Oddly enough, I see kids from the school near where I work using airport totes fairly often. And no one seems to make fun of them. So yay them. It's stupid the things we humans do to one another.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Aww, my nephew has been COMMed. Hey Daniel, I just noticed a typo (hey, I just copy & pasted what my SiL wrote) in that story. Would you mind changing "What a tortoise?" to "What's a tortoise?"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a very cute nephew (I originally typed tortoise, but I think I'm krav addled right now).
My TiVo can't change to FOX11. Which means a) need to change settings b) missed 24 again.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
