It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Buffista men, say something charming so that I can remember that the world is actually filled with good men and not tools.

If you have work study, the office only pay 1/4 of the pay rate. So instead of paying $9.00 an hour I will be paying $2.25 an hour.

ah, so picking a work study student means that your department saves money. hmmm.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

2 things, one good, one...not so.

I will start with the not so. I need someone to explain to people that when I ask for an answer, telling me that the answer given last week was inadequate (which I know, and is the reason I'm asking for an actual answer now), or that one thing was decided, but is incorrect (Fine. Then what is correct.), or basically giving me anything but, "Here is the actual data you need to know." is not helpful.

The good thing. A friend of mine sent me a picture of her kid this morning. He's about 7 and terribly cute. Anyway, he apparently saw a little girl sitting outside selling lemonade, and decided he wanted to be a Jr. Entrepreneur-only he couldn't copy the little girl.

The picture is of him sitting on their front sidewalk in a pink shirt with a play sword and a sign that reads "Looking for a swordfight? $$$"

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

I can't be charming, it's Monday. All I could think of were cheesy lines like "the sun rises and sets in your eyes", and I know I'd be virtually stoned to death for typing that here, so all I can do is try to smile winningly and shrug endearingly.

Men are pigs. However, I refuse to keep kosher. (Sorry, Shir.)

I cannot STAND how cute that is. I would have totally bought one.

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

Allyson, after three years in my apartment, I finally bought some bookshelves and took my books out of boxes. I smiled when I saw your book.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac and his grandad (a retired pilot, also retired military) are at the Intrepid museum with another 8 year-old and his father. They have been there approximately 3.5 hours and STILL have tickets to one of the features. They have not taken a break for lunch yet. Pleased they are having a good time. Pleased to not be there with them. Have tiny fear of paper airplanes taking over the house tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, there is hope with the next generation.

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

What an adorable grin.

erika--I just read that the Entourage house went up in flames.

THAT WAS AWESOME.
