Do they let them pee nowadays? Or do they still make them hold it?

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
P-C, the last time that happened to my parents, they kept the cat. 'Course, there was no collar...but she was blatantly somebody's cherished pet. (We're thinking the somebodies in question must have moved, or maybe a little old lady passed away or something, because the wee cat just appeared out of nowhere, never seen before, and moved in.)
I wouldn't worry unduly, whichever route you choose to follow - if you let the cat out, it'll find its way home if it wants to go home. But the phoning-owners thing should work out fine - cats enjoy having minions to do the strenuous legwork. It's all good.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My sister did Landmark for awhile.She got some good out of it, but wasn't able to deal with the hard sell part of it. And it did open her eyes to somethings she was doing to herself.

That's part of the changes. They don't encourage you to leave the room, but it was more realistic in how it dealt with those kinds of issues --

Okay, as an educator I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they're full of shit*, just on that alone. 'Cause, yeah, SURE you can concentrate on learning when you're in pain/discomfort/worried about pissing yourself in public. Yep. Great learning tool.

Okay, First World Woes: The Year 5 (Grade 4) kids got my order wrong!
pouts
They're doing a business project at the minute, which means that lots of wee groups have various different money-making schemes in progress. Some are selling home-baked cookies in the break, some are running craft activities in the break for younger kids, and some industrious and enterprizing souls decided to target the teachers, and get Starbucks to deliver, and take a percentage. Yesterday I got a latte with sugarfree vanilla, and it was good. Today the kid taking orders showed up in the middle of a lesson and I quickly told her what I wanted (same again) ...but now it has arrived, and it is a...I don't even know what it is. A melted-icecream looking thing. Like a frappucino, without any coffee. And, as one tentative slurp informed me, chock full of sugar.
I suppose that really I should complain, as that would be good business experience. But she's only 9, bless her, and she's working her arse off on this project. Still, I am sorry that I have an expensive creamy thing that I can't eat sitting there being full of sugar. (Honestly, even without Atkins, I just can't hack suger in drinks any more. Tastes icky, makes me feel like ass.)
Also, my diamond-soled shoes are pinching!
...*er, no pun intended

I feel like Sean talked about having gone one time?
That was me. It was an interesting experience for me, to be sure. I was quite glad I was equipped with the tools to understand what they were doing to me as they were doing it.

It's actually a tried and true brainwashing method, put to very careful use by these people, Fay. You're given very limited time for food, ablution, and sleep over the course of their programs. Your given *some*, so you don't think you're being deprived, but you are.

Crumbs, Sean. Scary like a scary thing.
(Incidentally, I do love your tagline. I Wikipediad it at some point, and concluded that the source material sounded fairly awesome.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It is rather awesome, though at the moment my favourite taglines around the board are Steph's, and yours.

I just adore Order of the Stick, the web comic it's taken from, but that one little exchange was sublime, with the funny and the breaking me into tiny little pieces, and speaking so many volumes about D&D and even the world around us.
It clearly doesn't quite convey all that in just a tag, but it makes me smile every time I see it, and I'm glad it's made others smile too, even out of context.
And yes, "Invisible Krav Maga" especially makes me laugh every time I read it.
