Seriously? In a house with two small children, they're lucky they slept past 6. IMO.
This is my opinion as well.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Trust my rage
Well, I haven't made any effort to keep Ellie quiet or anything. I just wondered if the parent in me was making me unusually unsympathetic.
(Joe got up at 3am to go pick them up. I never would have but he knows their parents. One of the four went off with some guy and didn't come home until 8am. Joe was not happy - not because she hooked up with a guy but because she went off with him, alone, in a strange city, while he sat in the car waiting for her while Ellie had a fever at home.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
ION, it's been five years since the invasion of Iraq. Why do people still call it a "war" instead of an "occupation"?
I'll take a guess, at least from my POV. I think of an "occupation" as relatively peaceful. The locals may or may not like it very much, but they live with it. I think of the post-WWII occupations of Germany and Japan.
If there's shootin', it's a "war." Or at the very least, not an "occupation."

2 hours of sleep interrupted by a wake-up call from a highly sugared child sounds about right in that case, Stephanie. Break out the Fruity Pebbles.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I wouldn't hold anything back from my normal morning routine wrt noise. I'm not sure I would not have been banging on pots and pans at 6am letting them know that morning was upon them.

you all are making me feel good...I thought I was the crabby old person, but apparently, I'm just right.

I'd totally be making extra noise.
Aaack! [link] (there is a video embedded, so I'm guessing there is sound, but my speakers don't work.) Scary food.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Stephanie, when I was 19 and drank heavily the night before my mother was supposed to take us shopping for some dorm room necessities, she dragged my hung over ass off the sofa at 7 a.m. and took me shopping regardless of how badly I felt. I barfed in every big box bulk store in Ft. Wayne, IN that day.

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

This is pretty amazing: Early Science Fiction Fanzines: A Cover Gallery Mostly from the '70s. Trek, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Logan's Run, Dark Shadows, etc...
Yee. I didn't need see Leia & C3P0 in bed. On the other hand, "Carbonite Maneuver" made me laugh.
I'm thinking the Woody Allen part was just a minute of him doing a USO show -- not interacting with the cast. Is that right?
