ION since when did Obama have grey hair?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

I am stuffed. I made some yummy marinated chicken with steamed broccoli and carrots.
Nomnomnomnom.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh - D has a stomach bug (threw up 2 more times, isn't keeping down anything except very small amounts of water), and there is EXTREMELY LOUD MUSIC coming from the building next door. Fortunately it only seems to be audible in our room, not his, but ARGH.
Is 9pm too early to shout at them to turn it down?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Yay, threw up. Hope that busts the stomach thing out and I'll be OK tomorrow.

Ask them to turn it down. Tho, a Saturday night, could be iffy.
Is anyone watching the debate? It seems at times McCain is pandering, and giving stump speeches. I thought Obama came off as more conversational.

Teppy, I wish I could attend the cardboard boat races. When DH and I master/mommed the Cub Scouts, the Pinewood Derby was just such an event. SO much fun for the kids, and the adults, too. I don't think we ever outgrow wanting to watch things go fast--and crash (or sink) spectacularly. Pictures, please.
Oh my god. SO much fun! It was mostly adults, although there was a heat for kids to race. The Boy's brother came in first place in his group!!! Some of the boats were amazing -- there were paddlewheel boats, where the person in the boat actually pedalled a contraption, like a bike. There were really creatively-designed boats that didn't go fast (and sometimes didn't go at all) -- one was a 4-poster bed, one was a teacup that just kept going around in circles, one was a John Deere tractor, one was a boat with a dragon head prow.
Here's The Boy's brother's boat: [link] And in the water: [link]
We even went to the cardboard boat "museum," which is a garage, and saw the boats of races gone by, and LOOK what I found there: [link] It even had a soundtrack. Hand to god, it had a stereo in it that played a continual look of the ominous Bat-music.

“Not dead yet!”
::wanders in and faceplants::
OMG-- 2 1/2 hours of a teacher/parents meeting.
I'ma gonna have to do a lot of tongue-biting the first nine weeks of the year and wait to see how things shake down. I think this teacher's philosophical ideologies are okay, but her method of stating them is entirely too precious and twee, especially since we're talking about a gifted freakin' class here.
Not to mention, she mentioned a few things that were directly contradictory.
Oy, this is when my having been not only an elementary school teacher, but one with a specialty in gifted ed is not necessarily a good thing. Good thing I have a strict hands off policy in my own kids' classes.
