Sophia, I saw this and thought of you putting together your bookshelves this weekend!
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Brenda, did Nicole reach you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No shame, msbelle. Shit happens. (Which I realize is easy for me to say, but still true.)
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, lose your nuts.
That's been my motto for years.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
well sure Jesse, but it's hard to be the deliver of the news and not as an outsider messenger, but as the only one they know affected at this point. People start freaking out about their home values and equity. heavy shit man.
I am actually making decent progress today which is good. Still have no real plan for clearing out stuff. I think as I open up bags for treatment I need to clear out at least 1/3 of each.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Vick needs to be a loudly obnoxious End Dog Fighting activist for me to begin to take his apology seriously.
I want him as un-shut-up-able as an omnisexual college freshman feminist vegan nader-voting socialist communist virgin lefty raised by Baptist Mormon Jehovah's Witness Jews for Jesus radical veiled Muslims.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think this is the last session Dylan will be taking at our current pool. The first instructor we were with was great, but she has been replaced by a gentleman who reminds me of a Vogon ship's guard. Too much shouting, very little else.
And he berates the parents who respect their toddlers' wishes not to be dunked, saying that if you don't do it, your kids will always be afraid of the water. To which I say - bullshit. I know my kid, and I know that he needs to trust me in order to get in the pool in the first damn place. And if that means he doesn't put his head underwater this week? His head stays dry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Be thankful there's no poetry reading.

Oh no, Jess, go ahead and scare him, that's MUCH better...
One thing I often had success with (and my Sister who is teaching still does) is when they don't want to go in or don't want to go under is to non-spashily get them wet by patting water on them. I think sometimes they're worried that its cold or they just aren't feeling playful.
Even if they end up never doing what they're "supposed" to do that day they had fun in the water instead of that lesson being a battle or a failure or abandoned completely.
