For the Rights or just coincidentally?

I'm assuming coincidentally. Miranda was in the second grade program. I think in third grade we had a fox puppet, but we'd loved Miranda so much in second grade that none of us would pay any attention to the usurping fox, so he didn't get used too often.

I have an ISBN and UPC code.

I'm planning on going to a former coworker's grand opening of her bookstore tomorrow. I'm gonna mention it to her. Not sure what kind of bookstore it is, so may or may not be up her alley. Though she's a big scifi geek, so perhaps...

eta: I'd kind of like to not out my timewasting at work, but still! Anyway, for those locals, it's in old Reisterstown.

Hee. Googling for info on Here's Looking at You 2000 and Miranda, I found a bunch of sites of parents complaining that the program teaches kids to treat their parents as the enemy and turn them in for "deviant" behavior like having a beer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so effed up.

Anyone remember the Ramona Quimby book where she's trying to nag her dad into quitting smoking?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Allyson, B says he's only buying one copy, since he's not in it. Pretty sure he's still up for the book party, though. And I'll make sure to pass you the names of the TV people at krav to invite. And I think ColinTV's Hottest Dad will be around then and might have some good ideas.

Sara, that sounds too fast for bursa. I'd go with something cartilaginous.

I'm pretty sure no school ever tried to talk me out of drinking, smoking, or drugs. I wonder what the typical non-North American effort to that end is.

I definitely remember that we got sheets of stickers saying things like "Smoking Kills" and "Alcohol is Dangerous." I have no idea what we were supposed to do with them, but what we did all do was go home and put them on all the cigarette packs and beer and wine bottles in our houses.

I definitely harassed my dad endlessly about quitting smoking, but I wasn't wrong -- and I don't really remember any full court press about it in school. (And boy, am I getting that back now....)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Question for the hivemind:

I have about 50 stamped self-addressed envelopes. These are envelopes from dozens and dozens of different people. I received the envelopes as part of a professional conference about 4 years ago and these are all individuals who I didn't need to mail items to.

I don't mail very much these days (nearly all my bills are electronic) and I don't know what to do with all these envelopes.

Can anyone recommend to me what I should do with these envelopes? They mostly have $.37 stamps on them except for a couple of larger envelopes that have more postage.
