Dylan just ran through the sprinklers at the playground and then ran back to me crying "I'm wet I'm wet!" Am I a bad Mommy if my response was "well, no duh, you were in the sprinklers"?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was watching him with Rachel Maddow last night
Me too. I was astounded. That guy out-weasels every other weasel on the planet. He is the King Weasel of Ferretopia.

She's talking precisely about my job, that's what she's doing.
My job too, kind of.
So I just found out I won a $300 gift certificate to a veddy nice spa in town. It's was a mother's day draw...I hope they don;t ask for proof of kids!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Am I a bad Mommy if my response was "well, no duh, you were in the sprinklers"?
I think it's the only rational reply. Cause --> effect. If he doesn't like it, it's self-correcting.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I've never worked in an office. Therefore all this jargon is gibberish to me. (Not that there isn't jargon in my job, but it's more science-y)

So, I don't know much about Rand Paul except what I've heard over the past few days, but he's a fuckhead, right?
I think he's just a very idealogical libertarian. Government should not regulate how a private business conducts its business even when it does something like blatantly discriminate, or, presumably, pollute or endanger workers.

Wow. I really don't work in an office anymore, do I?
I am intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Yeah, honestly, I can totally see where Paul is coming from. That...doesn't mean I agree with him. But I can see where he's coming from. I don't know his other positions, so I suspect from what other people say he's not taking the libertarian thing across all venues, which makes me LESS sympathetic to his position on this one. If he were hardcore, and that was why....

Where do you see him coming from? The only defenses of him that I've read have been from totally out-there irrational positions, so I'm interested in what some of the actual reasoning that can support his statements is. (Do I have the right subject/verb agreement there? Something sounds wrong.)
