"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Controversy!
Anyway, I get the point. My student and my cousin are apparently both unhappy with their current plight. They wish ill toward a) her babydaddy and his mom and b) her El Salvadorian neighbor's friend who whistled at her.

not your mom's socks.
[link] finally finished the shoveling. Amy, we have the very same shovel issue. And the car has a snow-mowhawk because I couldn't get all the way across without a broom.
Brenda, that's ... wow, I hope they get the opportunity to make a public on-air apology followed by a presentation on the history and impact of sexist behavior in the media. Clad in only boxer shorts and ski hats, outdoors.
