To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Cass, I CAN iron, but I'd rather not.

I can vacuum, but I prefer hardwood floors. I use Murphy's oil soap, and then a light application of lemon oil, for the shine and the scent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been pondering that I can't think of many animated movies which have featured a mother-child relationship at the core.

The mother is usually dead, no?

Nilly, I would be a terrible Jew. I have tattoos, and I like bacon too much.

I would actually find the homework pretty fun, though.

Erin, you'll just have to scrub somebody else's toilet, then!

Um, OK, this sentence didn't really come out right.

I would actually find the homework pretty fun, though.

Part of them includes the no-bacon thing, so you'd probably like the theoretical parts of the homework best.

Are you on vacation now? When does the schoolyear start for you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I CAN iron, but I'd rather not.
This is why we have dry cleaners.
I can vacuum, but I prefer hardwood floors.
LOVE!

Nilly, I'd need the bacon exemption as well.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Don't group (internet) marriages transcend religion?

Dumbo had a mother-child relationship, IIRC. A really sad one, that always gives me allergies.

Hi, Nilly! I'm doing really well, thanks. Feeling good, and I'm getting close to the end of treatments. How are you doing? I know these are trying days; I think of you often.

Today is my last day of vaca -- teachers report back tomorrow, and students next Monday.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm teaching two new classes this year, so I've been working pretty steadily this week on lesson plans. I'm looking forward to trying new things this year, and seeing how my 2nd year goes differently than my first!

Hmmm. Now I want bacon. Damn. No bacon in the house, and my car's in the shop. Frosted mini-wheats just ain't cutting it.

Oh, that's so good to read.

As for me, well, technically, I'm safe and there's practically no danger here. But Israel is so tiny, it's impossible not to know people who live in the north, soldiers in either mandatory or reserve duty, or both. So things are stressed and difficult and all sorts of words that look strange around posts about dark chocolate and cartoons and even bacon. Thanks for the thoughts. We could use every bit we could get.

I'm teaching two new classes this year

Which classes?

Last year I taught Freshman and Sophomore English. This year, I'm teaching Freshman and Senior English, and an elective -- Appreciation of Literature.
