Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

“Not dead yet!”

In the "I love my kids" category-- a girl was picking on Nate's best friend, who's a small, slender boy and Nate, being Nate, just looked at her and said, "Telling you to shut up would be a waste of time and energy so I'm just not even going to bother."

Said it stopped her in her tracks.

And am I a bad mommy for having laughed like a loon when he told me the story?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Barb, no, you're a good mommy - you've taught him to use his brain.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Barb you should be very proud to have a son that not only stands up for his friends but one who is smart enough to do it with sarcasm.

I'm trying to explain prime and composite numbers to Nate. My brayne is about to explode.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm trying to explain prime and composite numbers to Nate. My brayne is about to explode.

"You see, Nate, when a prime number and a composite number are in love..."

Humm. It's really really really past my bedtime. I think I'll call it a night. It's almost tomorrow here.
