Oh, and I do not like people who are lying or cheating or weasely. Boo on them. I will tattle tale on them if I have to. Or I will just have to hope they get what's coming to them. Phooey.
Whoa. Good myth.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Fay, glad you liked my ice cream idea. Now I'm wanting one.
WRT the cadet, can your hubby drill the living shit out of him. Extra PT? Go give me 20 laps for each question you copied. Keep doing push ups till you can verbally explain the topic your paper is on. Make him clean up the horse stall for wearing a pledge pin? Something?!? A "ok, you might think you got away with it, but we'll teach you the lesson another way". I dunno. Just floors me there is a group with anti-cheating rules, and they look past them for one individual.
In new job news, yesterday the artistic director gave a rousing presentation that leads me to believe this will be a good place to work. That was followed up by my designer, whom I am brand new with, going up to said AD, and laying high praise on me commenting that he got a top notch head of sound. :: beams :: ego boosts are always nice.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
bonny ,I'm just wondering - maybe you are fauxson's lesson. For your sake , I hope not.
Pretty much - If you've lied to one person I know -- I think you've lied to me.
I can't say I was perfect as a kid. I will say the harshest punishment that I remember as a child, I let a friend lie to protect me and didn't correct it. and I did try cheating on a french test ( no help at all). IOW it was never worth it.

Thanks, everyone. Do you think that a wide red belt would look good with it? I tried on a little black shrug to go over it, which looked great, but the shrug was almost the same price as the dress. I was too cheap to buy it. So, I'm going to look for something similar somewhere else.

Oh, red belt would be fantastic!

beth, in as much as I would be sad about that, I think I'd be LESS sad than I am right now because the sacrifice would have some benefit. Sadly, I don't think he particularly gives a shit.
His folks both tell me how important I am to him and how much they appreciate my influence but the evidence? NSM.
I've been avoiding him but this conversation today has led me to think I need to tell him where I am. No more 'come to jesus' talks. That didn't work. But a simple, Dude, my friendship and care for you cannot withstand the lying to and about me, so yeah...I'm sad you made that choice.
Sigh.
I'm loving omnis' idea. Wish I could do that!

Now tagless for your comfort.
sj, so cute!!! A red belt would look fabulous with it.
When we were on our house hunting trip here (my birthday, October 13th) my wedding ring broke--the diamond wrap around the solitaire engagement ring completely broke off and was lost. I started shopping for a replacement set and ended up buying a nice anniversary band instead. So I saved my original engagement diamond and had it set in a pendant like this.

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.
Gorgeous dress, sj.
Gorgeous pendent, Cash.
bonny, that sounds like a conversation that is going to be tough to have.

Ironically, my disillusionment is working for me for once in this case. It'll be tough, but...to quote a couple of our favorite characters...my days of taking him seriously are definitely coming to a middle...or maybe three-quarters. And, I'm coming perilously close to being paralyzed with the not caring.
Okay, that last part is a lie, but my grief will be less severe than if he hadn't been such a twat.
