It isn't so easy to take the effort to make this country (or even one small corner of it) a better place.
Been struggling with this concept with one city, New Orleans! So, yeah, trufax.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sox,
I'm about an hour late, but you get leftover 'ma which should be good for something.

I just had to explain to a professional economist what "loss aversion" is. I never thought of that as an obscure subject within the field of economics.
For most economists, "people" exist only populations. They often show little interest in the mechanisms of behavioral choice in individuals, even though economics must, by definition, explain the aggregate behavior of large numbers of individuals.
It's a thing.

Still goddamn nauseated. It's not too bad as long as I don't use my core muscles, which given what I do means I'm pretty miserable. Don't ever recall ABs wrecking my stomach like this.
As you were.
Also - you can't even fix one person, which is a lesson I have learned and continue to learn.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not true. Macroeconomics deals with aggregate choices; microeconomics is entirely concerned with individual choices, and is pretty fundamental to the discipline.

I'm cooking an already prepared at the market french meat pie for dinner tonight. I hope it's good.

Man. I am pretty sure I burned up a star stealing spoons today from my alternate universe self. Sorry, bizarro!smonster. Hope you've got a hot human timelord clone to pet your hair and make you food.
And now I shall curl up in the fetal position. I may or may not eat dinner. I think I've done everything I absolutely have to do tonight other than let Frankie out one more time.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, smonster, I can totally relate. I've been using up spoons like crazy this week. I don't really have any left today and I'm still at work.
I'm being observed next Thursday, but I have a pre-observation conference on Tuesday. Which means I have to turn in some reports and paperwork tomorrow. And, of course, the observation is coming on day 1 of a new unit that I'm doing this year. So, I've had to plan a new unit and do all the observation paperwork in 1 week (I just got my observation date last Friday) when I had planned on creating the unit over 2 weeks. And, all that's while coaching the speech team after school.
I've been here till 7:30 2 nights this week and till 5 the other two. I'm plumb tuckered out.
