Belated thanks to Typo Boy for that Amanda Marcotte essay on abuser/abused relationships
Interesting article. Some points I'm not seeing eye-to-eye with, but I think it has a major omission. One reason many women stay in abusive relationships is they believe "If I leave, he will kill me." And all too often they are correct.
SCORE!!!
Major ticket-fu!Tom is floating in a most peculiar way.
Awesome!
Hey, it's Friday. What are people doing this weekend?
And the stadium looks diff-er-ent to-day-ay-ay
Hey, it's Friday. What are people doing this weekend?
Synagogue tomorrow if I wake up on time. Grading papers on Sunday.
I can google to death, but you are honestly my bestest, trustedest resource. You should start charging.
aww I love to do it!
Also, I got a letter from my oil company saying that they are reducing my monthly payments on my budget plan from $300/month to $70/month for the rest of my payment year. That's how off they were estimating oil prices.
Mine went from $170/month last year to $20/month for the last few months. They never sent a letter though. But I'm not complaining.
What are people doing this weekend?
Probably working, maybe some cleaning
Yay Tom!!
I need to do some house cleaning this weekend for sure, also errands -- library, cat food, etc. Woo hoo!
Oh look, God has a cure for cancer!
God's Answer to Cancer
Just kill it by using this health machine to flood your cells with "Chi" Energy!
"God's Answer to Cancer" is the truth... --the amazing true story of a Healing Health Machine invented by a dying American Missionary who cured himself of stage-four Colon Cancer after receiving a Divnely inspired dream in 1996, showing the principles of how to build this Anti-Cancer Machine, and in 2008 at age 86 he is still totally free of cancer, and now as approved by The Philippine Congress's Alternative Medical Act, he is offering it to you. This is his true story:
Apparently
Consumer Reports
is skeptical. But look!
"Furthermore Consumers Guide is a testing agency for hair dryers, auto tires, electric fan, stoves, and other appliances. What do they know about health? Nothing!"
It would be funny, except God knows how many people have fallen for this scam....
Well, it

all science-y and tech-y.... Advanced Bio-Photon Analyzer
In 1994, the National Institutes of Health in the United States adopted a new term – biofield – to describe a growing body of research showing a subtle field that permeates and extends beyond the physical body. The biofield is something you’ve probably already noticed: a vital force that animates our bodies and powers our daily lives. When our biofield is out of balance, we’re out of balance. Disease, fatigue, stress, and apathy all reflect a compromised biofield. When something improves our biofield, such as the ABPA, it enhances our sense of well-being.
Every day, our biofields are negatively impacted by flickering computer monitors, cell phones, emotional stress, microwave transmissions, and traffic jams. We are literally bombarded with frequencies that wear down our immune system and biofield. That’s why it is essential to recharge.
The Advanced Bio-Photon Analyzer is designed to tune up your biofield through a resonant effect that harmonizes your energy and helps you to navigate smoothly through a stressful world. Think of the ABPA's effect like tuning forks that remind your biofield of its optimal functioning state. Worldly stress causes the biofield to become more chaotic and incoherent. The ABPA reverses this process, promoting efficiency, harmony, and balance.
