heard of it, seems basically sound, but I wouldn't say I follow it, exactly.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

[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 just looked it up. I'd only heard the term "golden mean" used in a mathematical context before. Seems similar to the Middle Way?

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

I'm with Hil here. The Aristotelean Golden Mean reminds me of the tale from Greek mythology with Artemis accusing her brother Apollo of preaching moderation, but then letting his own passions run away with himself. Apollo replies "I preach moderation in all things, including moderation."
From which we can conclude that Apollo was a pretentious jerk, and Artemis really needed a hobby.

Random House has been reorganized, including disbanding Doubleday.
This makes me sad. Doubleday is older than Random House. Doubleday was Kipling's publisher. Doubleday Page solicited Booker T Washington to write his autobiography.

After all the crazy insomnia, I called my doc for a sleep med prescription, so tonight I have an Ambian generic. Wish me sleep....

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.
Rest well, Suzi.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wish me sleep....
You didn't spell Ambien right! No sleep for you. Worry about your spelling instead, frittering away those precious sleep hours with fretful spelling anxiety.
You're an evil man, Hecubus.
See above.
Oh, like I'm going to get any sleep. Matilda was up for three freakin' hours last night.
In truth, I hope Suzi sleeps like a lamb, and billytea takes cool new courses in the history of math philosophy.

Every group home supervisor I've ever met has been such a whackaloon, I'm left to wonder who supervises whom. Seriously.

Of the three houses I work at currently, two are terrific and sane. It's just this one, whose own behaviors are harder to manage than the residents', that make me wanna throw things. They passed over me to hire her, because she has years of "experience" whereas I've only spent about 6 months managing a house.

I can't sleep because I can smell wall paint, and my asthma is not amused.
