'Out Of Gas'
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.
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?
Stars for each book I've published, a Saturn (for S.), and possibly some embellishment to the existing crescent moon. All on my back.
Nice!
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.
David, thanks for finding the G014 post! I can't believe how far down the list I was! That's when me and Laura were posting twins. I always thought I was blabbier.
Cash, I LOVED Will in the World. I mean, love it fully. I do think that Mrs. Shakespeare is given very short shrift, but I also think it's possible that it is done because of what marriages were in the Early Modern period. Another book I've rally enjoyed is Michael Wood's Shakespeare.
Right now I'm teaching Chaucer which is a pleasure on its own, from sheer fun. I'll go back to Shakespere soonish to teach Hamlet. It's funny to my students how EASY Shakespeare feels after Chaucer.
Oh, msbelle. I'm so sorry. I know how wearying those kinds of battles can be (thanks to Jake). Hang in there, lady.
So hard. I remember a friend's sister who decided to stop going to school in like 5th or 6th grade, and what could her parents do? She was too big for them to physically make her.
Man, that list of post counts really hit home how many folks have drifted off.
I'm not going to re-read bureaublahblah, as I seem to recall most of the times I was posting heavily in there I was treading in guacamole.
Evan Lysacek is on the Ellen show, and the world of figure skating kind of cracks me up, because it's not like he's overly butch in real life.
