Much peace~ma for your family, Tamara. So sorry for your loss.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My friend got some good photos of the kids this past weekend. Including this one
Cash, Olivia is (1) FAR too grown to actually be the baby girl I remember, and (b) sooooo pretty!!!
(Also, and I know this sounds weird, could I Photoshop that deck picture for you? I've been teaching myself Photoshop techniques for a couple of months, and that picture is just perfect for some color boosting.)
(If that's okay with you, OF COURSE.)

The status is NOT quo.
We have to leave for the airport in 2.5 hours. Ask me if I've packed ANYTHING. No, wait, don't. Please don't.
Half of what I want to pack had to be washed this morning and has to hang dry. I stuck it in the California sun and have been praying to the sun gods to dry FASTER for the last two hours.

{{Tamara}} All my sympathy to your family. Peace~ma to your aunt.
What a bummer, Barb. I hope all further revisions are quick (if not painless.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
{{{Tamara}}} Sympathies to you and yours.

Oh, yay, another Rachel Maddow guest host for Countdown! I'd love it if she and Keith ended up co-hosting a show.

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

Er...you listed this as an UPBEAT song, Billytea??
Hee. It didn't really fit properly into any of the categories, and the Misc Disc was already full. Wallybee doesn't much like it anyway, so I may have to replace it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
{{{Tamara}}} I'm so sorry for you and your family.

Experiment away!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have my 8th graders write a research paper in my drama class (on a topic about theatre history). Turns out, it's a good thing as one of the language arts teachers does NOT teach how to write them.
I also have my 7th graders give a speech where research is required and they have to document their findings much like a research paper. I do that to prepare them for the paper in 8th grade.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think our first proto research paper was in fourth grade. We had to write a few mini papers about an animal -- one with a paragraph or two about their history, one with a paragraph or two about what they eat, one about where they live, and so on. Fourth grade was also the New Jersey project -- some sort of project and a short writeup about something about New Jersey. (My project was about Molly Pitcher, and I made a model of the battle of Monmouth.) Fifth grade, we had the Philadelphia report, which was longer, and the teacher gave us a list of questions that should be answered in the paper. Fifth grade seemed to be the "learn how to write a paper" year -- we also had to write a paper on a disease for science, and a paper on a traditional craft for art.
