Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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

Marion Jones, the track and field star who pleaded guilty in October to lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and her connection to a check-fraud case, was sentenced to six months in prison at the United States District Court here on Friday.

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

zinc lozenges are the nast. I don't think they even help with the overall cold. Then they make my food taste nast (well what I can taste anyway, since taste is severly hampered by said cold).

That is enough to bother, but then the McD that used to be in the tunnels is no longer there.

the day can still eat it.

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

Children, just don't take supplements that your trainer gives you. Or at least take them to a good lab first.

Athletes doping and lying makes me so mad.

They really are.

On a related topic, if I can get coverage for my last period class, I think I am going to go home. I feel lousy. My head hurts and I'm sniffly. I'm not at the full-blown miserable cold stage, and I'm hoping that if I go home and sleep I might be able avoid that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Scrappy, I know you know this, but I just want to remind you that your niece's recovery is not your responsibility and there is no one right way to handle her. Al-Anon or similar could be a good resource for you, if only to give you a place to vent to an audience that has been through similar situations. Whatever you choose to do right now will, I'm sure, be in line with the grace and kindness you demonstrate on b.org every day and no one can ask for better than that.

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

Do we think that has ever actually happened? Or happend anywhere as often as athlets have clamed?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ugh, Scrappy, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say beyond that.

Badger! Tea for Frances, Bedtime for Frances, Bread and Jam for Frances, Best Friends for Frances... all with some of the snarkiest made-up songs in late-20th c. children's books. yah... Burrell - you might want to pick some of those up for Franny.

heh. I grew up with Bread and Jam for Frances, and so did Franny. We have several others as well. I love Frances!
