Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not to contradict your mom, P-C, but shouldn't that be

Om Patnim Manoramam Dehi Manovritanusarineem, Tareneem Durgasansar Sagarasye Kulodbhavam.

"This mantra is attributed to Goddess Durga. The regular and continuous chant of this mantra by the male section of the society helps them get a wife of their expectation. The use of rudraksha mala (A beaded garland of the seeds of Eleocarpus Ganitrus Tree) while chanting is favourable"

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

That looks about right too.

Unsurprisingly, I was a Good Kid in high school. When I was in elementary school, though, I tried to steal some change from the closet to buy a Goosebumps book from the book order.

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

So 5 is where it becomes an orgy, then?

By the way, the friends who did this stuff are now a scientist, a kindergarten teacher and a political consultant.

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't think your behavior in HS is a great predictor of the rest of life. The boys are good kids. It will turn out ok. Part of the problem is that Brendon had money in his pocket because he did a job for a customer of mine that was short an IT person. He unboxed, set up, joined to the domain, and installed software for a couple dozen computers in a few hours. The head IT guy was amazed that a kid could listen once to the instructions and do such a great job, and rewarded him well. So he was able to go out to eat and go to movies and such because he MUST spend any money he earns.

Cincinnati chili - I don't do onions so I made it with a good deal of rough chopped garlic. About to make the dogs now, with cheddar on top of course. I hope some of it makes it until tomorrow, but the comments from DH and Bobby and making me think that isn't happening. Never made it this way before. Chocolate in chili, huh. Sure smells good.

No piggy bank?

Bobby has a bank account and a good sum; Brendon is Mr. Instant Spend it all. (apparently his mother's son)

A bunch of us had this discussion once, and determined:

1- masturbation
2 - sex
3 - threesome
4 - group sex (aka "fourgy")
5+ - orgy

Oh, the MUST is his behavior, not your decree.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, the MUST is his behavior, not your decree.

Heh. What kind of Mom says, "Oh, you've earned some money? SPEND IT! SPEND IT! NOW NOW NOW!"

Laura was just talking about her parenting style! I thought maybe it was really weird.

My parents want me to spend more money, but that's because I oversave and am frugal.
