Yay Dallas!
I heard, second hand, that my grandparents were very racist (especially on my mom's side). My folks told them they could believe what they wanted, but if they spouted off about it around my sister or me, they'd never see us again. So I didn't have to deal. I have no idea what the grandparents thought of GLTBQ issues.
For their time and place, my folks were pretty cool. They calcified a bit with age and got a bit more religious than I was comfortable with, but that's not unusual.
Mom: FINE! FINE! I AM YOUR MOTHER, I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TREAT ME THIS WAY! WHENEVER YOU NEED SOMETHING, I STOP WHAT I'M DOING AND LISTEN! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I WILL NEVER CALL YOU AGAIN. GOOD DAY!
Sweet Jesus, we have the same mother. I have gotten that exact speech too many times to count.
For sweeps you could do a cross-over you and share a beach house with Teppy's not-Father-in-Law, et. al. Their show is still in devlopment, we're thinking, "If my Muslim President Can Wear A Dress So can I" With Tim and Teppy shopped into this photo for the ad campaign
This is made of SO MUCH AWESOME!
Shadow was an expensive kitty today, he needed two teeth pulled. His Daddy needs to stop feeding him the kitty crack treats and make him eat the real kibble. His Daddy is wrapped around Shadow's plushy black paw, and Shadow is very cute in his front-feet-together-sit-very-upright-"I'm so damned cute feed me" pose.
We have finally packed up the car and are headed to the beach for my birthday weekend. It's convenient having a birthday that always falls next to a holiday.
I've seen several cars with Confederate flag stickers today. I would have thought I was too far north for that, but I guess not.
Southcentral PA? Unfortunately not.
Hil, you're in Pennsylvania right? James Carville in The War Room famously said that PA was Philadelphia on one side, Pittsburg on the other and Alabama in between.
I saw a Confederate flag hanging from the back of a pick up truck the other day. And it was a truck with Vermont plates not an out of stater.
PA was Philadelphia on one side, Pittsburg on the other and Alabama in between.
DING.
Except now, Philadelphia has more crazy flash mobs. Whee. A local reporter for the onion had her leg broken during one last weekend. It's... kind of gobsmacking.

Yeah. I'm almost exactly at the midpoint of the state.
Southcentral PA? Unfortunately not.
Well, I guess it goes well with the copy shop around the corner from me that's got an entire wall plastered with Tea Partyabilia.
