Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Hey, if you enroll with that seminary, you could get credit hours for that

Gud beat me to it. I think the idea of college course credit is insulting. I think cooking, cleaning, and some basic sewing are basic survival skills. and while some people don't learn it until later in life - it is not college level work. I'm ignoring the whole sexist thing - that's just obvious.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

And, Daisy, did you hear about what they did a couple of months ago? Fired all their female professors, except for the ones in the women's programs. Because women are not supposed to teach men.

Yeah. It kinda seems like I'm hearing the volume on misogyny being turned up. One of our paper's columnists had a freakout over teh churches being overrun with the wimmins. Plus all the "Edwards is such a girl" crap as insult.

My brain wants to connect it with post-9/11 pro-war stuff, but I don't have the space or time right now to flesh that out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Jesse or bon - holler if you want help. It may be my only chance to get out of the house and be around non-family other adults.

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 kinda seems like I'm hearing the volume on misogyny being turned up.

It's being turned up big time in Southern Baptist circles. It's the main reason I left the Baptist church close to 20 years ago and it's much worse now.

My brain wants to connect it with post-9/11 pro-war stuff, but I don't have the space or time right now to flesh that out.

When you do, let me know. I'd like to hear what you think.

I think it may be more to get the "faithful" riled up over the possibility of Hilary Clinton presidency.

The columnist in question is a Catholic, so it's not just the Baptists.

Coding and Sleeping

and three hours on the "biblical model for the home and family."

Presumably with concubines?

You really don't want to be widow without a male heir in that model.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You can come to my apartment and clean any time you want, msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's my plan too, Jesse. I wonder if it will happen.

We can do it!!

msbelle, I was also thinking about Target if you have any interest.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm going to go to Target on my way home tonight! I wonder if I'll remember to buy cleaning supplies.
