We are working on potty training. It is no time to buy diapers. We are working on potty training. It is no time to buy diapers.

Where my mantra is "I have no money. There is no cash for more diapers...."

There is a HUGE amount of cool cloth diaper technology. The snappi alone is so much fun.

Our plans for the night? Stay in the house to avoid getting hit by a stray bullet from some jackhole celebrating the new year by firing a gun into the sky.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommy, didn't you have a no-fall resolution in place? Careful!

Yeah, but that was a New Year's resolution. I fell about six hours before the new year started....

Must buy boots....

eta: Oh, and I think the resolution was something about not breaking any bones, and I think I managed that part....

Thrive to spite them

I had forgotten Heaton was a spokesperson for Albertsons and those were her beliefs.

I go there occasionally because it's close, but their new ads are driving me insane. Some woman saying she's worked there for 11 years and never seen anything like it, the changes and if I go there I can feel it in the air and see it in their experts.

Well, that's nice, but I'd actually like to know what those changes are, a cleaner store would be nice to start with.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So, go watch blade runner at friend's house or dick around on the computer? Only one of these requires taking a shower.

But the other requires washing your hands. Well, if you were a guy anyway....

You know how some religious people feel they should proselytize, but then they don't want to impose their religion on others? Well, if you're a fundamentalist Christian, you don't have to worry about that - it's impossible to "impose" your beliefs on others....

Some people don't practice evangelism because they feel they are imposing on others. And the way evangelism is often done, I can understand the confusion! But when you understand what the Bible presents as evangelism, it's really not a matter of imposing your beliefs.

It's important to understand that the message you are sharing is not merely an opinion but a fact. That's why sharing the gospel can't be called an imposition, any more than a pilot can impose his belief on all his passengers that the runway is here and not there.

That's nice.

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

Der. He totally can. And people can die if he's not right.

Grr. My replacement bluetooth headset mike doesn't want to play.

I need to eat. Today. Something. Other than that brownie.

Let me go gather my strength.

Actually, he can. They're just not likely to survive the process.
