I only got the brief account, tommy, so I'm not sure how it went down. Update at 11! I know he pulled his (whistle-clean) driving record and make sure to take a shower and changed his shirt after the baby snotted all over it...
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Also, haven`t some Buffistas had weird experiences with Ambien? Because there are new warnings out about it: [link]
The review was prompted, in part, by queries to the agency from The New York Times last year, after some users of the most widely prescribed drug, Ambien, started complaining online and to their doctors about unusual reactions ranging from fairly benign sleepwalking episodes to hallucinations, violent outbursts, nocturnal binge eating and — most troubling of all — driving while asleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Daily Mail article on Angelina's latest adoption. I'm charmed by the mention of Maddox trying to comfort his newest brother. Not sure what you say in a situation like that (ignoring the language barrier for now) other than "It's okay. Mom does this all the time. At least you're big enough to play with, unlike the last one. No idea which country they got her from."
I seem to have outgrown Ambien weirdness. Either that, or my friend's lying to me. But I have been successfully not merely awake but out and conducting conversations and business transactions. When compared to some of the strage postings I'd make under the influence, it's quite a big jump.

I had never heard of Akhnaten before and what I read just fascinated me.
Pharaoh right before Tutankhamon (maybe one between), husband of Nefertiti. For all that he looks pretty weird in his neo-realistic portraits and sculptures, he had one damned hotty of a wife. Also, the father of Tutankhamon's wife.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This is not news -- well, I can't speak for Nebraska. But cats first invaded our house years ago. And conquered it shortly thereafter.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
From what I've read, there's some scholarly support that Judaism became monotheistic (ie, became Judaism rather than generic tribal religion attached to teh people of Abraham) in Egypt wiht at least sonme influence form Akhenaton. Moses=Akhenaton is a new one on me, though. That would cast a whole different meaning on his conversations with Pharoah. Not to mention the heart hardening. And drowning.
Akhenaten=Amenhotep IV (or one of the Amenhoteps, anyway), yes?

My mother had a children's illustrated Bible at one point, written in modern prose
We had a great one that's still in print (but I can't find it on Amazon right now). It was the only book my mom would let me bring to Mass and read while the priest was going on (and on...), but that ended after my First Communion--then, I was supposed to pay attention.
In my sophomore high school English class, my teacher took us through Billy Budd line by line to catch all the various allusions, which is when I figured out how vital knowing the Bible was going to be in English class. Considering I was a post-Vatican II Catholic kid, I probably knew more about the Bible than Mom did (Bible study wasn't a big part of the Baltimore Catechism taught in Sunday school prior to Vatican II).
