Xander ,'Get It Done'
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.
Steph - I think the amount of books overwhelmed him a bit (although he has been to a bookstore), but mostly he just wanted to get some Arthur books like we had discussed and then leave. Unfortunately, the electronic check-outs (the only option) were not cooperating, it took us three machines before we got all checked out.
sara, it was cold (about 34 degrees) but he was bundled up and stayed out about 40 minutes.
edit b/c I really can read.
sara - I understand what you mean with "sabbath" and "shabbat". I pronounce them differently, on top of the "h" moving around there, too.
explaining reproductive health to a cafeteria full of 13 year old boys.
She wouldn't have to do this in English, though, right?
BWAHAHAAHA! Yeeessss, my pretty!!
Hence the heavy penace.
Kids running around are remarkably resilient in the cold. My brother keeps his house at a ridiculous 55 F in the winter (it's a big house) and when the adults are all swathed in layers, D is roaring around in a t-shirt. It's crazy.
Oh, I got some more (fitting!) jeans from ON. FTR- the 12 short are actually LONGER than the 12 regular. @@ (And I don't have short legs by any stretch. Most consistently sized pants are too short.) (And only in ON-land do I wear a 12 anything.)
For some reason that I can't quite figure out, my TiVo decided to record possibly the most disturbing Little House on the Prairie episode ever: [link] . Even with all the weirdness in the other episodes I've seen (fires or someone dying in SO many episodes), this is just ... wow.
Is that The Mime That Raped Sylvia? I've never watched that show but have heard much about that episode.
Yes, it's The Mime That Raped Sylvia. Though I think I would have called him a clown, not a mime.
Erin, you've just made it so much easier - they wouldn't understand most of what she's saying with her accent, anyway. She could talk to them about anything at all this way.
I have never heard of that episode. And I was raised on LHotP in the 70's. For shame!
Nilly, huh. I may have to re-think the penance. How about in Hebrew, after a snack of kosher sugar-filled goodness, right before school lets out for the day? And they're all sons of friends and neighbors...and local rabbis!
HA! Beat THAT penance, missy!
You didn't have the "Encompassing Infinties" ceremony when you had your first period?
Ha! We were talking about sex ed and first periods and stuff the other day at work, and I told them about how I didn't tell my mother for months after I started, because I was sure she was going to want to take me out to lunch, and I was NOT feeling that.
So, I just saw Dreamgirls, which, good times. My question is this: was Beyonce already that skinny, or did she lose weight for the movie?
