billytea, I think I just missed you when I posted this before.
Aww. The poster mocks their pain! It's like an ad for Animal Planet I once saw: "Starfish have no brains. And they don't even know it."
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
i. Might mean the planes ABD and AA1D
ii. it's a right angle if what I think about prisms is true and my trig is right
I don't know what they're getting at with iii. There must be some convention that defines the planes these lines are in, but since AD is an edge of the prism I can't imagine what it would be.

Skipping to post that according to Kat "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Apr 26, 2005 9:57:12 pm PDT Isaac is two years old today. I can't believe how quickly he did that, too.
Happy birthday, Isaac! Happy day for your mom and your big sister and all your family, as well!

Happy Birthday, Isaac!
The evening librarians often use my office... which means they use my computer, my chair, my pens, my kleenex, etc. all of which are adjusted, missing, and/or used up regularly when I come in. Today someone has adjusted the contrast/color on the computer screen and I can't seem to get it back to a comfortable display for my eyes. This makes me very, very grumpy.

What is even happening?
Happy Birthday, Isaac!
I'm surprised I'm surprised by this take on the Alec Baldwin recordings. Or perhaps I'm from topsy turvy town. Because I'd spank my child before calling them a "rude, thoughtless little pig." More realistically, my mother who has a talent for verbal evisceration would never do that. Not to her kids. Not without feeling it was done out of nothing but anger--and her intention when spanking was to never act out of pure anger.
Yeah. Our mothers sound similar, although my mother would get ranty (and sometimes loud), but she was never mean when she got ranty. It was more that she'd be telling me off for something I did, go into another room, and come back five minutes later with an, "And another thing..." sort of addition, and that was mostly when I was older.
The "pig" thing is what left me feeling the worst about Baldwin's tirade (well that, and that he didn't know his child's age). My mother spanked me sometimes (although not by the time I was the Baldwin kid's age), but never in an abusive way. I don't think she ever called me a name, and I don't think my grandmother ever called her children names, but I know she spanked her kids (although my mother was the baby and got off easy).
