Ugh—a "get off my side" moment just happened at work. A coworker forwarded an Obama health care forum invitation, complete with big, red "donate" button on the bottom. I support Obama's attempts to get health care legislation passed, Asclepius knows, but she's sending around official, partisan emails with official, partisan fund raising links included. If a coworker had done that with one of Bush's things (Support the Iraq invation or whatever) I would have been furious. What's more, we're an organization that gets a ton of Federal contracts. We're really not supposed to do that sort of thing.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

[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 have guns. If the conservatives ever get the country they want, I'm going to need them.

Would it get in the way of learning to read actual Hebrew later?
I really don't know.

Our wings are not tired.
These ultra-rightwingers, who want no government and no taxes, but lots and lots of guns, SHOULD MOVE TO SOMALIA. No government or taxes there, and plenty of guns.
Excellent point. It's also Libertarianism at its best.

Barb, you have my sympathy. My mom is here today, trying to be helpful, but I'd really like her to go so that I can feel lousy in peace.

“Not dead yet!”
Aw, sj, I'm sorry too. Here, come join me in my fantasy:
Adark, cool room with an incredibly fluffy bed and no sound other than that of a ceiling fan whirring.
Just... silence.
Maybe a lovely Cabana Boy named Lars who dispenses drinks and massages.

Someone remind me that trepanation is NOT a good headache solution. It's starting to sound v. v. appealing.

With too many people I've seen, an increase in caliber is inversely proportional to their brains.also, increase in caliber usually results in decrease ability to control the weapon.
Hold on, as is Hebrish? Oh, we could totally do that!Oooh! That could make it easier to learn. In the few lessons we had on Skype, I was totally writing in down in my version of phonetics. Doubt it was correct, but it helped me pronounce the words better.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I "have" a Ruger Single Six that shoots .22 long rifle or .22 magnum. I left it in the care of a friend when I moved to California. I miss target shooting with my dad! I should see if Geezer World has a pistol club.

I've never really wanted a gun, but I find myself wanting one more and more these days, to protect myself from bug-fuck crazies who also own guns.
But that's the world they want.
Still torn.
