The books aren't worth the indigestion -- and the Slacktivist critique is detailed enough that you can follow along without them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Good to know! I bought the book years ago off eBay to avoid adding to the already fake sales numbers but, yeah no.

Can anyone explain the mystery of how Moxie soda is still being sold after more than a century despite tasting like it does? I like old-fashioned sasparilla drinks and thought I'd give it a try, but I can't imagine anyone willingly choosing to drink that swill over water.
If you think Moxie is bad, try (or don't) Diet Moxie. It's even worse.
Congrats to Jess, Gris, Spidra and anyone else who I might have missed.

A 9 is junior (=teenager) sizing (most odd numbers are), and doesn't necessarily correlate well to the even ("misses") sizes. Juniors tend to be cut slimmer, which makes sense in a way since they are intended as teen sizes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I've mentioned here that I've been reading the Slacktivist's most excellent critique and commentary on the Left Behind books, where he really gets into the crappy theology these Christianists use.
Yeah, reading that is both amusing and scary.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think I've mentioned here that I've been reading the Slacktivist's most excellent critique and commentary on the Left Behind books, where he really gets into the crappy theology these Christianists use. I highly recommend his blog!
I've been reading that, too, and he REALLY takes the books apart well. I just wish he'd go faster.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac is being a pill. got a new to him video game today (he traded something in via some website and his uncle and I held out on giving it to him for 2 weeks). Anyhoo - he only gets to play DS on the train, in cars and as of this past Friday, 15-20 minutes at home on Friday after therapy. He decided that the car ride from uncle's to here was not enough of the new game, so he threw a fit went in his room and slammed the door announcing I was not to enter. I didn't, I watched tv. after 30-45 minutes I established with him that by playing the game he was breaking the rules. I continued watching tv, and picked up all his crap from the living room ( a task he was asked to do over the last week) and deposited it trip by trip into the middle of his room. He ignored my 8:30 announcement that he needed to get ready for bed. Ignored me turning off the tv at 9. and now I am about to go disturb him for the last time to tell him that I am extremely disappointed and priviledges are going away.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Uggh, msbelle.
I recently discovered that I can't get a vintage 16 skirt over my hips. In current sizes I wear a 12.

I really wish sizes were at least a number in inches or centimeters or something.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeesh, msbelle. Shape up, mac! Mom is just looking out for your best interests!
I agree, sarameg. That's one of the many reasons I wear men's pants. It makes no sense for women's clothing to be an arbitrary and constantly changing number.
In I have nothing better to do than troll the internet news, have we seen this video on why one should not honk at old people?
