Glad that Grace's surgery went well.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

PBS is doing a story on Jonestown. I'm remembering being 17, horrified, and baffled again.
It boggles me to think of adult, contributing members of society who don't have the immediate, visceral reaction I do to those videos of stillness and that vat of purple liquid.
Sorry to be a downer.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay, Grace! Now go be uneventful for a while.

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 all SO WEIRD!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Allyson, that's fantastic! Holy moly. See? You don't suck!!!
So glad Grace's surgery went well! May Grace and Noah have some undramatic months now to get big and strong.
Southern: Billboards with Bible verses on them. Driving past three giant crosses set up in farmers' fields. (I had to explain that one to a Northern friend of mine once.) Biscuits and milk gravy. That crack of candy bars, the Goo-Goo Bar. Catfish jamborees. Sweet tea served in Ball jars. Cake walks. Squaredances. Pretending to swig the moonshine when the gallon jug comes your way, just to impress the guys. I'm getting nostalgic for a place I don't even want to go back to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm glad Grace's surgery went well.

YAY ALLYSON!!
Yay good Grace surgery. hoping for boring weeks ahead.
I am just sitting down to do three or four things for work. Mac was a giant pill tonight. We had visit 2 of 4 from a social worker in mac's first 12 months here (as required by Ethiopia). GIANT PILL. Shocking only to him, I got to say things like "I know you think that you won't get in trouble because we have a guest, but you are wrong. Keep this up and you will lose toys and tv."
