Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
Weather is not supposed to be random guesswork! Well, forecasts to a certain extent, yes. But current weather? No. It's a factual thing.
So why does:
- wunderground.com say it is currently 62.6
- weather.com say it is 68
- the weatherbug app says it is 80. (with a heat index of 79.)
MY CAR says it is 79.
And, yes, I went out to my car after midnight solely to have it check the temperature for me because I thought the websites were being wrong, wrong, wrong on the internet. If it makes me seem slightly less crazy, I was right?
Blergh.
Also, it's not a mosque, so much as a multicultural center.
Yes, I know that, you know that, but stupid hot button tea bagger doesn't quite grasp that concept. I suppose if it does go through, he will say this is proof that Obama is a Muslim, and that we are all going to have to convert or some crazy BS like that.
I guess the family politics did not let you pretend not to see the crazy uncs friend request.
I debated it for a bit. Then just put him on limited profile. Which means he doesn't see much of anything, and can't post on my wall. After all, I am trying to get this family that is spread out all across this great land of ours, to stay in contact with each other more. I really hate being the **ONLY** one who ever calls anyone! It's annoying.
Omnis, neither of us should be up right now. And yet, here we are. What's your excuse? I've managed to competely eff up my sleep schedule a few days before I go back to school. Sigh.
I have been pondering my situation at current school and will perhaps whinge to you all about it tomorrow, but I am still looking forward to the students' returning. My job can be so much fun! I'm focusing on that right now and am boarding the Good Ship Denial about such things as overcrowded classrooms and the return of grading, 5:45am alarm clocks, and difficult parents. Those things are far in the distance, like buoys birds have been shitting on a long time. It's nice here on my boat.
The "Ground Zero mosque" is down the block from my dad's office. The summer after 9/11, when I was home from college, one of the things that made me feel a whole lot better was going to visit that neighborhood and seeing that things were getting back to normal -- people working, shopping, eating, whatever. This desire to turn all of Lower Manhattan into sacred ground is kind of creepy to me. It's not like they're building on the WTC site -- they're building on what used to be a Burlington Coat Factory, and was a Sym's before that.
Boats are good.

Honestly, hot button ANYTHING often fails to grasp the concept. Even on my side. Actually, very often on my side.
And I wish so desperately that it were different.
People get stupid scared and just immediately assume it is a whole of Us versus a whole of Them. It's sadly tragic.
Humans appear to need to have An Enemy. My personal world view doesn't comprehend it* but I understand where it comes from and how it exists as a way of life.
Also I loathe climate change because I really want to be comfortably asleep right now. Well, it's a dual hating climate change and heatwaves which are the stress du jour and insomnia which is ... well, it is.
* I will totally admit insanity though because my personal world view is happy that the Earth will eventually regenerate itself and maybe Life 2.0 will work out better.
eta: why do I never remember the quickedits? Won't someone think of the quickedits? By which I mean both potential porn and grrrrr, why can't I get an asterisks.
Was that when Sparky got married?
after using my highly technical time-measuring device (aka HKFan), I think that it was about 6 years ago. I'd love to see the pics. That was a great wedding (and great people getting married, and great people attending). Except for the pregnancy-sunburn where I looked like Shamu (in patterning).
eta: thanks omnis & plei!
So, um... apparently when you click on the trash folder in gmail, you get helpful recycling tips such as "You can make a lovely hat out of used aluminum foil," at the header, where the Spam recipe links are in the spam folder.
Sox, beautiful picture and great hair!
