[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.

Thrive to spite them

Mom's actually teaching my nephew ASL because that's what she knows. She's started off her career as a speech therapist for hearing impaired kids, then taught Deaf and hearing impaired elementary, middle, and high school; then went into pre-k assessments for special ed; then did Adaptive/Assistive technology; then finally ended her career as the media specialist at the school for special needs kids.

She started teaching him "more" when we were keeping him in Jan. If you stopped doing something he wanted or if he wanted more food and it wasn't coming fast enough he'd scream and fling himself backwards which made it hard to hold him. So she worked on "more" food, "more" book, etc. He's just now able to make the proper m sounds so when I was up there if he was really emphatic about wanting More! He'd say MA!MA!MA! really loud as well as signing. And he's just now starting to say nana for banana.

That is a surprise. I was going to take some kids to see it but the reviews scared me away. I should know better.
Dunno how kid friendly it is. Sure, I'm a kid at heart, but I am 37. And not being a parent, not sure what that cut off would be. Certainly not under 10-12 range. After that, ya, maybe. But the show is more than just those jump/armour/running suits that was the WHOLE preview. If the movie was all about that, I'd be bored. But it had a plot, it had a purpose to it. There was discovery. Some great editing. Good action sequences. A little bit of character growth. Lots of cool weapons & gadgets. Some squeemish medical stuff, but not NEARLY as squeemish as the Quentin film. Also, mind you, I saw it for free. TOTALLY worth that price. But not for under 10ish. The violence wasn't bloody/gory, but there was violence. Lots of subwoofer, which can spook a kid. Lots of things blowing up. Creepy faces on the bad guys, which might give nightmares for the youngins.

Our wings are not tired.

The boys are 15 and 17 and love the gory, so no problems there. Thanks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What you need to do is check the paperwork and ascertain where it said you had to bring it in within 90 days and make sure you emphasize that at no time was this made clear to you even during repeated phone calls.

My paperwork says that an appointment will be made for the ninety-day mark and nothing else is promised nor implied, but it sure isn't clear that the ninety-day mark is a DEADLINE.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I like the "write a letter" plan. Because it's not a phone call (then you get to be snarky about "I did what I said"). Maybe an email. Also, that way, you can lay out the whole thing without interruption.

corporate offices.

ION. I woke up around 11am. I sat down at the computer to see what tools I need to change out the windshield wipers. Somehow, my computer has not made it to that site yet. It's nearly 1pm now. I'm hungry. And haven't done ANYTHING. Yup, it's the weekend.

“Not dead yet!”

I think CC to the owner/manager of that dealership would also be good.
