Your mom is wise.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Your mom is very wise, and you should listen to her.
Blah. I just had to send an email to a student telling her that she needs to cut two pages out of the essay she just turned in (was supposed to be 2-3 pages and was instead 5 in small font). She needs to learn how to write focused, concise papers. I'm doing her a favor by making her edit down before I grade it, but I doubt she'll see it that way.

You could give her a choice that's really not a choice (as in, "I can grade it as is, but I should warn you in advance that it does not meet the requirements for the assignment...").

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Liberal/Progressive AND Christian
GF was singing some Johnny Cash the other day and then said (rhetorically), "Why is Cash so awesome???!!!" I replied that I thought it was because he was a liberal Christian and that that's a pretty rare combination that seems to make for a pretty great person. I had kinda forgotten that we have some of these rarities on b.org - love you guys!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
For me, I wouldn't want to have a sash. I actually like the process of getting to know another person, having all those points revealed in their own time.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I'd love to see the badge designs we could come up with...
Don't Talk to Me; Kinky; Boyfriend Wears a Dress; Former Christian Cult Member; Yes I Know I'm Fat; Seriously, Don't Talk to Me
No, you can't catch it. Maybe I could add: I know Four Ways To Kill You With Ordinary Household Objects.
erika's sash wins!

This probably shouldn't be as nifty to me as it is, but I just found out that the fancy-name watches we got off an auction site for insanely low prices are actual Chinese forgeries. I don't know why I think it's cool that I'm wearing something that was created in an attempt at actual deception rather than something that's an obvious knockoff. Probably because it's made to a higher standard than obvious knockoffs.
Though it still would have been cooler to be wearing a $900 watch that we got for $86.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I think my sash would say "Giant Nerd; Mixed Parentage (One Male, One Female); Most Animals Are Cooler than You"
Or, for informal occasions, "Penguin of Death".

I asked about my unused vacation days that I had accrued being on my final paycheck. His response?
