What was the issue?

"Stop fucking pushing," per usual. They don't generally come to actual blows, though!

I am not impressed with this whole "being awake" business.

Nora, was it you who mentioned recently buying corduroys at Lane Bryant? Because I bought some yesterday, and I haven't had a pair of pants that make my ass look this good in a LONG time.

Steph- Are they Right Fit Corduroys, or a they just regular?

Steph- Are they Right Fit Corduroys, or a they just regular?

Just regular. They're a little low-waisted, but not actual low-rise. And they have some stretch to them, and they give me a cheerleader ass. I love them.

Nice! I got my new cords at Macy's. But may go back to LB for more, because I love my cords in the winter, oh yes I do!

In spite of the lame-ass review of Assassin's Creed, I want to buy the game (and an X-Box to play it on).

It sure looks pretty and my computer could probably run it well enough to look as good or a little better than an X-Box, but I picked up Oblivion (also very pretty) and will probably be playing that for the better part of a year.

I have to get braces to correct the bite, or I'll lose teeth.

Good luck with the braces Allyson. I've been amazed at how fast my daughter's braces have improved her teeth, and not just in appearence. I hope your braces work with such speed as well.

You know what is bad? It is bad when peanut butter cookies in a pack turn out to be all stuck together, so you have to eat FIVE COOKIES instead of eating one.

Couldn't you just break them apart?

Anyhow we aren't sure how long she will be hospitalized. Poor poor girl.

Still wishing her lots of health.

I'm convinced that the 24th century Federation was so stuffy and boring that the cool exotic races all fled the galaxy to join the gays wherever they'd gone centuries earlier

That totally makes sense. Also, great irony having the Federation based in San Francisco.

Though I once read the most depressing fanfic that the reason there were no gays was that the 'gay' gene was erased from the human genome during the Eugenics Wars of the early 21st century (the same wars that created Khan) .....

Ironic since I think Khan was gay. Seriously, the outfit, the obsession with Kirk... Only he was like one of the Republican anti-gay gays that couldn't accept it. If he had accepted himself, he wouldn't have been so angry. On the downside that would have eliminated the best Trek movie and the great yelling straight up cliche.

Khan did have a wide stance.

I don't even want to think about how lame a universe without The Gay would be.

That's great news about Emaryn. Is she in school this year, Gud?

That's great news about Emaryn. Is she in school this year, Gud?

Yep, she's in third grade this year. She likes school and it has greatly reduced the tension between daughter and mom. OTOH, school is easy for her. The principle has set up a deal with the school librarian where Emaryn can go off to the library to work on a project if she finishes her work in class early.

She's taken an IQ test and rated at 128 overall, bright, but not high enough numbers for the gifted program.
