Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What color is your roomba?Silver. Or grey. Is this going to determine my career path? It's this one. My mom mentioned that my Xmas gifts would be proportionately cheaper. (Although I did specifically put a refurbished one on my wishlist because I know they're pricey, she said defensively.)
Anyway. I have to take it back to my mom's for Xmas so it can fight Big Trak.
liked This Old Gang of Mine
...wha?
I liked it too. Certainly more than Tim. He says he didn't put into it what I got out of it (Uncle Tom metaphor), but hey--he doesn't get to call those shots.
Plus--dead Merl!

Oh, yeah. I did like that aspect. And Angel's cue-cards.
I think that's one I haven't seen since I recapped it, honestly. Mostly I just remember deep hurting.
So who's not doing any family stuff for x-mas?I'm sitting on a cot in my sisters office. 5 days in 29 Palms, CA! Mom is driving up for xmas day. Sis and BiL are having a big shindig with a dozen other Marines/and/or wives of Marines along with rugrats on xmas eve. Should be fun, being a pacifist, left leaning, slightly Paganistic (more to run away from Catholicism) in a room full of Marines. I hope they don't put me to the kid table. I'll do my best to not aire opinions on politics OR religion. oy vey! when in doubt, eat more yummy food!
I'm off to go start Christmas shopping! Wish me luck!
t boggles at Tom.
Godspeed, my friend
Tom! With ya there. Eeep. I might even go to the mall. Or not. We'll see how it goes. (I did already get kid stuff, but nothing else)
From way back - David - favorite mac things are: watching Toy Story, Lion King or Jungle Book, watching tv (arthur, bob the builder, thomas the tank engine, cyberchase, tom & Jerry, or curious george). He has just started have spurts of 30 minutes of play with toys by himself where he is all animated and speaking Amharic and showing interaction with the toys, not demanding my attention or the tv. Other things are having me pick him up toss him about or hold him on my legs (airplane).
I avoided having to do a lot of Christmas shopping by driving a half hour back to my house in order to retrieve all the gifts (some of them hand-made) that I left sitting on the porch. Oy.
Mom and I are going to go out to IKEA near here, on the theory that there won't be too many last-minute furniture shoppers. Wish us luck!
At my 3 year old's (corporate, totally pc) daycare, last week was "December holidays" week - Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas in Mexico (hee!), and Christmas. It's unclear how much actual theology was taught; they're three, after all. There were, however, treats. But no latkes.
I attended 5th grade in a very multiculti upscale suburb of Boston and loved it that they did lots of different holidays - parents came in and did Chanukah, Diwali, Chinese New Year, etc. I like Chanukah best, for the latkes, natch. Nothing like frying things in hot oil in a classroom with 10 year olds looking on.
In Ohio. Tired.
