This animal won't be afraid to gnaw at the corpse of its former owner, come the revolution. Eager, even.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, plus often no one wants to be the FIRST to express a contrary opinion. Once the floodgates open...
Not even $60! It's for like $20. I'm willing to try it for $20! Or even $12. Cause the price is frame + lens!
Well, I have realllllly bad eyes, so I'd need the +$39 super thin lenses or whatever...but still like 1/8 the price glasses usually cost me. Very tempting.
Typo, I know when a speaker has given a very good presentation -- I can see that it's well-reasoned and supported by facts, and while I can say that there are concerns that they haven't addressed or considered properly that makes me have a different opinion -- I hesitate to assail the formidable edifice they've erected, since it's as much a matter of respect.
It's easy to heap immediate scorn on, say, a creationist or George W. Bush because the weakness of their arguments is immediately apparent, and it gives me a plethora of good hooks into expressing why I disagree with their stands.
Anyway, I'm hardly one of the 20-somethings whom you asked about. But given a good speaker with an authoritative presentation, I'm not surprised there was hesitation! But what is great is that you then engaged and drew out their concerns; that's more likely to convince your audience in the longer term.
One thing that I appreciate in an opposing argument is the willingness of the arguee to respect me and want to sway me instead of telling me how wrong I am.
ita - how was the dr? how is your leg?
kat - hope Noah feels much better today.
in fact, that goes for all the sickistas.
Sparky, are you going to share? Seriously, that boy was TALL.
DH is 6'something, and I'm 4'10. Stairs are our friends. But, from the perspective of our 15th year (meep), I can honestly say that I've never felt like there's much of a difference... except when I look at the photos. He makes me feel like we're the same height. All the time.
... let us say nothing about weight. Darn Swede and his freaking hollow leg.
Thai with Buffistas was excellent! I hope Brenda and her friend are enjoying the rest of their evening with Horton Foote.
We did indeed. I forgot how neat theatre in the round can be, and we were in exactly the right spot. Thanks!
I am so cranky I forgot to start no-knead bread last night! Hmph.

You know what a good way is to work out your frustration? Kneading bread!
Timelies all!
Just hanging out in my nightclothes, waiting for the shower.

Scary.
Scary.
Huh?
