Great. The Intelligent Design folks are taking on
linguistics.
It's called Edenics.
Here you will discover that ALL human words contain forms of the Edenic roots within them. These proto-Semitic or early Biblical Hebrew words were programmed into our common ancestors, Adam and Eve, before the language dispersion, or babble at the Tower of Babel -- which kickstarted multi-national human history.

And there's a book: The Origin of Speeches: Intelligent Design in Language
The Origin of Speeches begins by recapping the history of our views about the source of language. It then debunks the errors that infuse your dictionary, like those about how words in "unrelated" languages could only have identical sound and sense by "coincidence." It does so with both quality and quantity of data. The next chapters give anyone the skills to sleuth out the Edenic origin of any human word. One learns about letters that shift in sound and location, and letters that drop in and drop out. We discover how Edenics works much like other natural sciences, such as chemistry and physics. Like-sounding opposite words were certainly programmed, not pragmatically evolved.

I'm the family misanthrope
better they learn this , now.
Allyson, I wish you a haven, and I am hoping that you can become your nephew's haven
Yoiks. I'm sorry for the frustration, Allyson.
Jessica, those eggs look divine.
I survived the Rose Parade. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the parade. I love the floats. I even love to go and look at the floats (after they are parked in the post parade viewing where you can get up close and personal). I love the pretty horses and flowers. And I adore making fun of the ugly band outfits and crappy marching. But I have NO NEED WHATSOEVER to go to the fucking parade and sit in the stand for a long long while. Like maybe a decade.
My highlight? Walking back in my house. And I had a good time. The Kam school male warriors who were essentially loin clothed? Go them. I enjoyed the marching and the floats, even those towed, especially the neat Day of the Dead one and the cool Cal Poly with the diving fish. But I kept mentally ticking off each as they went past and couldn't wait until the end. Too many people for my taste and I like people.

I'm waiting for them to base Engineering on biblical passages rather than secular learning and try to fly in their cubit measured prayed-together planes.
Suddenly I want to take up smoking.
This is why I prefer to entertain at home. There is always the excuse to go tend to things in the kitchen. Actually I use that one when I am elsewhere too. Sudden need to help clean up stuff or cook.
At my mother's, I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. It's the only place they'll leave me alone.
Oh, Ginger. I shouldn't laugh, but I do.
This probably has something to do with the Kirs also
Nifty ad, Trudy!
Allyson, gah! I just have to rent a car when I go back now. Technically because I am torn in so many directions when I visit but also because I need some damned time alone. I am really sorry that your nephew is picking things up too. That's terrible to see.

I'm pretty sure I flossed my teeth when I spent the long weekend in a hotel room with my grandmother. And I don't floss that often.
