Tacky, tacky: Swank blames split on Lowe's substance abuse

Dirty laundry: it's not just for the laundry room! Lame.

No, I'd like it to.

You're comfortable with the power dynamics I was describing? Or, would like to be comfortable with them? While I've certainly eaten on someone else's credit card -- many times --, I hate the easy inference that I can't pay my own way.

You're comfortable with the power dynamics I was describing?

As far as I know, I haven't been part of that dynamic, so I see no reason for it to inhibit my acceptance that sometimes (and so far always) it's being done with non-derogatory intentions.

ita -- have you seen that there is an insane men's doubles match? Last time I looked it was 21-21 in the fifth set and they've been playing for over 5 hours!

Hi everybody. How was everyone's fourth?

We traveled to Iowa and back on the 2nd and 3rd to visit a number of DW's relatives. The big thing there was that her cousin was in the country with a new baby. Her cousin and DH are missionaries in Scottland and are in the country for a couple of months this summer. We had to take the dog with us since there were too many fireworks to leave him at home in the yard. I think I spent more time walking the dog (in the rain) than actual visiting, but the main objectives of the trip were met.

Monday I got to see the kids taking their swimming lessons which was fun. Emaryn gets a bit grumpy because her swim teacher (a swim coach for a local high school) doesn't put up with anything and she isn't used to that being homeschooled. Leif likes the lessons though, but then he is nearly always happy. I was hoping to take them to the park, but it was just too wicked hot.

The Fourth was fun. I took the kids to a local fireworks show and it was the first year for Leif. They had a good time and it's always fun to watch them watching the fireworks. Also, it's becoming a 4th tradition that Daddy takes 'em to the fireworks show.

Pretty much, yeah. Perhaps a passing gay man, since those seem to be the only ones who can logically split a tab.

I am updating my offices web-site (which is really ugly, but all I can change is text, and sometimes the was we say things is cracking meup. We have one class that fills quickly, but students canot sign up for it quite yet, so we say

"If interested in the Immersion Experience...Please let us know so we can put your name on a list. "

Just a list-- not necessarily a waiting list

So if a lesbian asks out another woman, they should find a third party to pay for the date?

Later it's made clear that if both parties are of the same sex, the asker really does pay. So it's good to know the Rules on that.
