Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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?

I had to skip and did not know of the Cabil's Birthday! So, Happy Birthday, Cabil!!!!

I am pooped. Parent Teacher conferences tonight, so I didn't get home till 8:30. And, they are really kinda pointless for me. I just switched kids a week ago, so I don't know the new ones enough yet and I don't have the old ones anymore. But, we did figure out about an 8th grader who is ditching school on a regular basis because of my good record-keeping.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Jesse, Marshall's signing bonus? Of course, you also don't get approved for a mortgage in under ten seconds...

I did crack up at the neighborhood name.

Happy Birthday, CaBil!

I got spanked a few times, but nothing actually painful - pants up, open handed. I got sent to my room a lot (well, not a lot...) Oh, the ignominy. I used to draw on walls. And the carpet once... in my room, where I had been sent as punishment. Just sayin'...

Miserable day. Bleh. Sleep soon.

Query for the hivemind:

Beans--freeze well or no? The dish in question is a stew with pinto beans, chicken thighs, salsa, chipotles, bell pepper, and onion.

That should freeze fine, Susan.

My parents couldn't use "sent to my room" as a punishment after I was about four, because my room had books. It was more "go outside!" or "do chores!"

That said, they were definitely into the spanking. Or rather, my dad's belt. More for my brother than me, but it didn't make it feel right either.

But I don't think I'll rule out spanking for my kids....but no belts, man.

I used to hate being sent to my room... though I would often choose to go there on my own to play. It was the forced relocation that got me, mang.

Should freeze fine, Susan.
