I have a friend that does not believe in global warming. but mostly, she doesn't believe, because she doesn't understand it. WQe were talking about the recent CA heatwave- and global warming, and she was saying" yes but last year was so much colder than normal" and i said "exactly" and she said with a Big huff " everything means global warming" Which well, yeah- because if it didn't - goodbye theory - but what she didn't understand( and I am not sure she listened) is that global warming is the explanation for the unstable and chaotic weather patterns.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[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.

Crazy? Would crazy people have their own museum?
That "museum" is actually in the Cincinnati area. It's about 1 or 2 exits south of the airport (which is in Northern Kentucky, which most of you know).
My city/region frequently makes me want to drink gin straight from the cat dish.

We had this very conversation at a work birthday lunch yesterday. One woman said, and I quote, "I haven't made up my mind yet about global warming, because of everything I've read by Michael Crichton. I've read all his books, you know."
I literally had to get up and walk into the kitchen at that point, so that I didn't get fired for calling her an ignorant simpleton who should never have been allowed to procreate.

Oh, I also vote that Trudy's Chicaco dress was absolutely spectacular.

Hmm... it has a really high neck though. How hard is it to lower a neck?

But, but! We can TELL what temperature it's been before! With microorganisms! And isotopes! And such! Science can TELL us things, people!
Ha! Clearly, you're stuck in the Reality Based Community.
And as Steven Colbert can tell you, Reality has a WELL KNOWN LIBERAL BIAS.

I haven't made up my mind yet about global warming, because of everything I've read by Michael Crichton.
Wow. Just....wow.
What does she think about the imminent threat posed by the velociraptors loose in the Brazilian jungle?

It's not a turtleneck, silly. Sometimes coverage is *good* -- it hints at what lies beneath, that he may or may not get to see later but if he plays his cards right he will.

She may be more afraid of the gorillas from Congo.

Trudy! I just went back and looked at the picture of the blue dress -- that is NOT a "high neck"!
Plus, since you've lost weight since then, the dress is going to fit you differently, and less of you means that the neckline will actually sit *lower.*

Yay, Cash!
Lots of good luck to beth's DH!
I skipped and skimmed like a ... skippy skimmy thing, so lots of general ~ma and hugs and whatnot to whomever wants or needs them.
I might have to make the Toxic teaset for my mom.
Oooh! Time to bribe one of the crocheting people I know, because I need one of those.
