'Sleeper'
[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.
I hate it when you get feral kids living under the barn. You have to catch them and get them fixed and then release them again to control the population.
There are homes on Phillip Island which have penguins living under the house. How cool would that be? Property values would skyrocket!
Oh, hey, happy birthday ND! You know what you should do for your birthday? Visit Australia is what. All the cool kids are doing it.
"Children raised in an environment in which they have true freedom will never do anything morally wrong. Doing wrong requires a choice to do wrong, and human beings, given true freedom, will choose right.
WTF is "true freedom"? Is this person talking about something specific, or something nebulous? In any event, this person gives optimism a bad name....
Guess I blew it the first day with my kids with the No! reflex. Maybe I can make up for it by letting them have total freedom in their teens. They will choose right; I just know it.

Rambling Sid Rumpo? That's a pretty bad name.
Also, whatsherface, Hughes' 2nd amour killed herself and her child (who she got pregnant with while Hughes was still married to Plath) by gas suffocation. My students LOVE hearing the Plath and Hughes bio info. They're so scandalized and offended.
More pedantry! I'm so pedantic.
She got pregnant around the time of Plath's suicide, but didn't carry that pregnancy to term. The child who died with her was born a couple of years later.
If anyone else wants to take a try at deciphering the insanity, it's here: [link] The true insanity starts about two posts down, the one that starts "b more careful."

No, Laura, I'm sorry; it's too late. You've already corrupted them with your bad adult actuals.
Happy Birthday NoiseDesign!
I'm very tired. Damn cat doesn't like new food I bought and spent the wee hours of the morning purring and pawing at my face hoping I'd get up to get him something different. I like it better than yowling, but it still interrupted my sleep! But, I have my health so I'll stfu now.
sj, I hope you find a suitable apartment soon. Much health and alien-DNA removal for the sickies. And Congrats to Juliana!
I hope my dvr actually records tonight's episode of Drive. For some reason sometimes it starts to record when things are scheduled and sometimes it doesn't, with no rhyme or reason why.
The last two years I lived in Madison, I worked at a bakery co-op. We ran everything by consensus, and we had no one in charge.
Once me and two friends of mine at the co-op were reading an essay answer to a question on an application that a job applicant wrote for us. The guy was going on about how hierarchy is this capitalistic invention, and how we should all try to emulate Nature instead, because it's completely non-hierarchical.
Oh gawd, did we laugh our asses off. A friend said, "What, has this guy never heard of a pecking order?"
Anyway, I have a feeling if I met the "true freedom" person, their views would spark a lot of deja vu for me....
