I threatened to use the breastmilk to make ice cream.
Aww now it won't be a surprise!
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It finally rained here. It's been threatening for three days and finally delivered. About time, my car needed a wash.
I think I'm just going to pave over the grass.
I know someone who ripped out her lawn and xeroscaped the whole thing with rocks and sculpture. My sister planted enough trees around her house that she only has a small lawn left to mow. When I get a house, I may just buy goats.

Help me out, guys. What's the polite way of saying, "thanks for interviewing me, but I think I'm going to look at schools where discipline isn't such a major problem, so we don't need to schedule the second interview"? Just "I've decided to look elsewhere"? Or what? I feel a little weird about cutting off a possible job at this stage, but it's reasonable to want not to struggle so much with discipline at my next job, right? Right?

Kat, I've seen recipes...
Though I'll tell you straight up, it doesn't ever thicken if you try yogurt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha! We once bought a quarter of a cow. But then the roommate left the freezer partly open and it spoiled. After we'd used a bunch of it, but still. Not entirely their fault, the freezer was lousy.
Since we have the nifty subzeros, we'll probably put a full sized upright freezer in place of where a normal fridge/freezer would go.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Friends of our family once bought an entire steer. The weird thing is: they had their pictures taken with it before it was slaughtered.
On the farm we generally sold all bull calves for veal. Occasionally we'd keep one until just before maturity and then slaughter it. We'd have a big-ass freezer full of hamburger and steak that would last half a year (IIRC).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right. And yeah, I think what you said is fine. It'll be potentially awkward no matter what.

Sometimes - just sometimes - I miss living on a big farm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
it's reasonable to want not to struggle so much with discipline at my next job, right? Right?
Absolutely right. If you don't think it's a good fit, there's still time to find another place.
For the polite way to turn it down, have they called you for a second interview or are you being preemptive?

Oh yeah, "not a good fit" is an excellent thing to say!
