If I get nothing done today, I blame all of you. Reading B1 from the beginning, and cracking up at this post from Jesse:
Hey, I have a bureaucratic question: Can the FAQ come off the geocities site now?
Geocities! Man, we're old...
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Really, the internets is just a series of tubes and cats.
My policy of mostly staying out of Bureaucracy is a sound one, I think. It's not that I don't care -- I do, so much in fact that it gets me highly emotional. About the best I can do instead is try to be a good B.org citizen.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I don't think I care that much. And my mealy-mouthed pleaser tendencies will certainly not add to quotable moments.

mac is refusing school. This in a week where today was going to be my only day of getting in a full 7 hours. I get angrier at him by the minute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I suspect it didn't cover exactly the same range of posts that John H's count did.
Exactly. The first list, that led to the Go14, was of the whole thread to that point. The second, which was actually posted on-thread, only covered whatever conversation we were talking about.
Anyway, I'm glad we got through (and past) all of that stuff.

Because books.
What happens if you tell him he doesn't have a choice, msbelle?
I have a tattoo appointment today, which I've been looking forward to for over a month. So ... I'm ignoring my (low) temperature and taking as many cold meds as I'm allowed. I want my new ink.

Too bad there's not a Truant Officer to give mac a talking-to....
What did you decide on, Amy?
Amy - Mar 05, 2010 4:07:24 am PST #13424 of 30001
Because books.
Stars for each book I've published, a Saturn (for S.), and possibly some embellishment to the existing crescent moon. All on my back.

Amy, he will challenge me to dragging him there. When mac refuses something, it means your choices are wait it out or try to physically force it. Going physical is pretty destructive all around. Oh and as a bonus if you start taking away things above and beyond norm, he escalates. So like now, with this choice, he knows there is no tv or video games or computer. I am letting him listen to music and he is drawing, that is it. Since he missed school breakfast, he has not eaten. There is fruit and cereal he can get for himself, but I am not cooking for him.
