Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
I've heard lots of horror stories about the way they treat the kids in those magazine schemes -- things like holding their pay until the end of the year, so if they leave before that, they get nothing, and a whole bunch of allegations of physical abuse when kids don't sell enough.
And sometimes they kill homeless people. </L&O>
Except you have to say it in a totally cheerful voice, like I imagine the Dread Pirate Roberts's when he told Westley he would likely kill Westly the next day.
"Maybe tomorrow, hippie!"
Liese! I lovelovelove the house -- and I've been dying to see it ever since the final stages started coming together. I'm so thrilled for you (not to mention incredibly jealous of your kitchen ceiling and under-counter fridges!)
I sometimes just don't answer the door if I don't know who it is. And ignore people petitioning me in public. t curmudgeon
Vortex,
From way back, thanks for the offer, but it looks like S&S is repeating on PBS this weekend so I've set the Tivo. Of course, I've yet to watch Mansfield Park or P&P so I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to watching it.
Timelies all!
We're having a party tomorrow, so tonight will be spent shopping and cleaning.(It's a birthday party for me, as tomorrow is the closest Saturday to my actual birthday that's not during Passover)
The sunroom makes me unreasonably happy. It just looks like the perfect place to laze warmly in the sun. Liese, are you guys going to do deliberate landscaping or just let it go back to native?
Someone in that article recommends giving the magazine kids the contact info of Parent Watch [link] , to call if they want to get out.
And ignore people petitioning me in public.
Exactly! The crazy petition people try to get my attention, I smile widely at them, dodge, and keep walking.
Liese, your house ROCKS.
I get irked by the petition people outside Trader Joe's and get unreasonably happy when the anti-petition people try to stop people from signing their petitions by pointing out the crappy unclear wording etc.
It's 90+ degrees out today.
The internet is broken district wide. So I am at home finishing work on a sonnet lesson for which I needed the sonnets from the internet.
ita, thousand miles sounds ominous.
