I think he was really happy to see me to tell me nothing was wrong!
I miss Molly Ivin too.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Also, the national Girl Scout organization is very progressive, but of course on the local level, a lot depends on the volunteers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One of the Boy Scout board members my mom used to deal with made a prejudiced comment about not wanting his food handled by the queers at Cracker Barrel (oh, the irony!). I believe her response may have actually blistered the flesh away from his skull.
My feeling about it is the Boy Scouts are perfectly free to admit and associate with whomever they wish, and they're also free to take the consequences of people's reaction to their bigoted practices. I hate having to tell hopeful teens that I'm not going to buy their popcorn or help their pledge drives, but that organization will never get another penny of my money.

* so fine, my outside pants today were also PJ pants, but inside pants are acceptable to wear commando for comfort where outside pants are not.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I had a lovely, lovely day. Nice long meals, some cooking (bolognese sauce), sitting around in front of a fire and chatting/knitting, and a wee splurge at Lush.
All in all, an excellent way to start a new decade.
And now, I am in my inside pants and about to fix myself a whiskey and soda.

I read that as asscLaps which was frankly a frightening image, especially in the commando sense.
