Hmm, yes, a nice warm walk to the bus stop followed by a nice warm wait for the bus then a nice warm wait on the train platform until the underheated train comes along, with another nice warm walk from the station to the office to look forward to. Can't imagine what people are thinking.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

My feeling on the school issue is that it's a religious school. Religious schools frequently have rules that students have to abide by the rules of that religion. I think that the school was wrong to expel the students, especially the way they did it, but I think the court decision was reasonable.

Reasonable or not, the humiliation they're going to associate with their sexuality is going to haunt them for a long time.

Very much yes. The school dealt with this in a ridiculously idiotic way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Some of the people who got the first run of coupons couldn't buy boxes before the coupons expired because stores either weren't carrying them yet, or didn't order enough.
That would be me. I'm a tool who didn't realize that they expired. Truly, my own fault for not reading all the details closely. (Note that I'm NOT blaming the government or broadcasters, etc. I realize full well that my slack-ass-ed-ness is to blame for me having to spend $60 instead of $20.)

Yes, but shouldn't that apply to behaviors, not, I don't know, states of being? Caught kissing on school grounds, okay. Identifying oneself as a lesbian? Ugh. Private school, I know, but still.
And, of course, they'd have been in the same situation in the US military, so not like public institutions are covered in glory.

Oh, wait, duh. I don't need a new TV because we have satellite; if I want to watch HDTV, I'll need a new TV.
