Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

move out and draw fire

I mentioned I'm friends with the head of IT at Poly, right Pix? He says their policy is that the teacher has to pay for the damaged laptop.

But:

in reality every time something like that's happened we've not enforced the policy. One of our faculty drove over his laptop with his car, another spilled "tea" which was clearly beer all over his.

The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, Raq. Also, HI!!! Missed you!

Thrive to spite them

Pix that sucks.

Erin I hate that there are parents out there like M's mom but you are a good step mom and it's unreasonable to ask you and D to move.

Vermont is still bill board free. When Will and I drove into NY I saw a bilboard and did a double take at the strange thing with advertising on it.

This means, though, if you are on the interstate you have to pay attention to the state signs with the Food,Lodging, Gas symbols. There aren't any giant billboards advertising "McDonald's in 10.5 miles!" "McDonald's in 7 miles!" "McDonald's TURN NOW For Big Mac!"

Also there are state (or city I'm not sure who pays for it) signs with businesses' names and mileage. Nice little green signs with white text an arrow point the direction and "Hank's Propane 2 Miles" or "Maple City Candy .5 Mile".

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Pix, I'm sorry. The laptop situation sucks.

Erin, you're obviously a good step-mom. I'm sorry you're in such a difficult situation. I hate seeing children used as pawns, and it sounds like that is what M's mom is doing.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I know I moan and gripe about it, but she's a PITA and one I have to deal with for a long time. So I'm being all rational and stuff, but sometimes I JUST. WANT. TO. SLAP. HER.

I won't. But I want to.

Today was the last day of school! That's positive, right?

Well, that's why you have us. So that you can bitch about her and not actually take it out on her or your stepson.

NICE!

Erin, I am sorry for crazy parental politics. So horrible when there's a kid in the balance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Is that like the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie-woogie flu?

Symptoms include impromptu second-lining, a craving for po-boys, and total frustration with the lack of go-cups in a given municipality. Comorbidity with brassaholism often occurs.

Erin, absolutely atrocious. And I'm glad you have us to vent to.

You, Pix, were gracious and fabulous. Tino was a schmuck.

Indeed.

I hope something itchy invades his underwear drawer. All summer.

INDEED.

I am at the beach. With wifi in the hotel, woot!
