Speaking of sisters, is yours coming to Amerika anytime soon, Sox?
I think she's required to be in San Diego in 2013. I'm hoping so, anyways.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

That's what I was wondering about. Keep me in mind for updates in case I can coordinate our SoCal visit to see her as well as sister G.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
They're calling Zimmerman a "neighborhood watch captain". I read this morning that it turned out he was not actually associated with any registered neighborhood watch groups.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Everything I've heard about Zimmerman suggests less "neighborhood watch captain" and more "shooting incident waiting to happen."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right? no shit.
BTW, why was the advice given to put hydrogen peroxide in ears? Is this standard planning for zombie apocalypse or is there a precursor for this activity?
I missed it!

Thrive to spite them
He was the selfproclaimed captain. And a neighborhood watch volunterr coordinator with the police said they tell official neighborhood watches not to carry guns.

Early articles said he had tried to organize a formal neighborhood watch unsuccessfully so he took it upon himself. So yes, self appointed captain.
It is a hopeful sign that other law enforcement agencies are getting involved. It will be no replacement for their child's life, but the family at least deserves the killer to be punished.

Because books.
And people need to know that standing your ground against *an attacker* is one thing, but lethally shooting an unarmed teenager is another.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh my Lord.
I have a co-worker who has zero tact. We all know this, and have (1) learned to just ignore the stupid shit she says, and (2) developed ways to deflect her in conversation.
So, a little bit ago, since it's in the frigging 80s here, a different co-worker brought in Graeter's (woo!). I was in the kitchen getting some when Tactless!co-worker came in. "I wish I could eat that," she said. "Do you have ANY IDEA how many Points are in one serving of that stuff?"
"Nope," I said, around my first bite of ice cream.
She sighed, and said, "I just wish I didn't care about my health."
I had a strong suspicion what she meant by this (and it was actually less blunt than normal), but I decided to play along.
"Why would you want to not care about your health?" I asked.
"I *do* care about my health," she said. "That's why I don't eat stuff like that. But I admire you for not caring."
Hello.
"[Co-worker]," I said, "that's not even close to true. Just because I don't eat exactly what you do, and don't follow the same food plan as you, doesn't mean I don't care about my health."
"No! I just meant that it would be nice to be the kind of person who doesn't make their health an important priority!"
"And you think because I'm eating a scoop of ice cream that I *don't* consider my health to be important?"
"Do you KNOW how many Points are in that?!?"
At that point I just rolled my eyes and said, "Nope. But I do know I have to get back to work."
Don't get me wrong; people can follow whatever eating plan they want. I just object to the conflation of You Don't Follow My Eating Plan So Therefore That Is Proof That You Are Unhealthy.
Stabby stabby.
