actually I think I've done it with my legs crossed too. But then, I'm on the pill.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The part of the Pledge that I have a problem with (besides the fact that it's a, you know, PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE, Heil Amerika) is the "with liberty and justice for ALL" part. Because it's been my experience that not everyone is lucky enough to receive the same level of liberty and/or justice.
Oh, see, I read it not as pledging allegiance to the republic which has liberty and justice for all, but rather as pledging allegiance to the republic and to its ideal of liberty and justice for all. Which I can totally get behind. I've got allegiance to that ideal.

I went to some event with my Mom where we recited the pledge. I was pleasantly surprised to find Mom skipped the "under god" part too.
When I was little I thought "Witchit Stands" was a place, like "Witchita Falls."

During one of the responses at Catholic mass as a kid, I thought everyone was saying "you take away the scissors of the world" and wondered why that was something praise-worthy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Clearly the world was running with them.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
y'all are cracking me up with this last bit. Can't COMM from iPhone.
Teppy, so sorry to hear the arrrgggh your father is putting you through. I nod and point at what others have written. Especially the bit of fear and that's maybe why he is wanting to stay another night.
IOmeN: Shir, you will be happy to hear that I inquired about caterer gal. Co-worker was mildly unhelpful. "Oh, her e-mail is "L" and her last name @(company).com". OK, well what's her last name??? "i'm not sure, but I know they do first initial and last name @ for the e-mail". He said he'd find out and get back to me. Yikes! Ya, my face was blushy.

a friend of mine was at a wedding where everyone stood and shook hands saying, "peace be with you." He was trying very hard to fit in but he didn't understand what they were saying so he shook hands saying, "pee bee wee bee."

I don't want to write about saving energy during the holidays, and yet I must do that by tomorrow. I've written on that subject about 10 times. Curling up under a lot of covers, eating microwaved turkey dinners and telling your family you died would be effective, but not an option here.
