Wow, that's an unhappy horse in the starting gate.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I usually dodge around this by just talking right to the baby: "Aren't you cute! You are such a little muffin! What a smiley-puss!" and any other non-gender-dependent endearment that comes to mind.
This reminds me of what the NICU nurses would say (not gender-related) when they had to deal with an ugly baby. They'd always say, "What a sweet baby!"
We had the NICU reunion today, which is fun but super draining. One of the families that had been there with us was there. And all I could say when I saw the daughter is, "Oh my! She's so big! How wonderful!" She was a very unfortunate looking child.

Dana - that really was a high note. Difficult to listen to - too.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
There's always the Southern route to that: "Look at that child! Bless her heart!"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
But I think there is legitimate non hate-filled argument to be made that in the current century religion is a net evil.
Sure, but only because the commies and fascists are seriously slacking. Personally I think the problem is the blind obedience to any ideologue -- regardless of the idea. As soon as people think a notion is worth killing other people for, and someone figures out a way to make money off of that, it all goes to shit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I probably shouldn't have laughed at that. No wonder I wasn't Raptured.

In total agreement with Trudy here.

Dana, which one was the horse they had to wrestle into the gate?

Um, something City. But Shackleford was pretty unhappy before the race too.
Edit: Dance City.
