I think she thinks it's a theme park. With chicken. (Even though I have done my share of...Dixie-bashing(?) in the past, somehow I don't know how much less insulting that is.) Living in post-1070 Arizona, and making friends with people around the country has taught me some lessons about regional generalizations...they serve a purpose, but you don't want to get too attached to them.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Being at yoga is probably warmer than home and doesn't have no water from frozen pipes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
After the Crimson Tide’s big win over Notre Dame on January 7th, a Web site called Real Southern Men explained the significance in terms of regional defiance: “Football matters here, because it is symbolic of the fight we all fight. Winning matters here, because it is symbolic of the victories we all seek. Trophies matter here, because they are symbolic of the respect we deserve but so rarely receive.” That defiance is a sure sign, like Governor Rick Perry’s loose talk of Texas seceding, that Southernization has run its course.

FTR, I'd go to a chicken-based theme park. I just wouldn't think it was a cultural exchange, I hope. One time I floated peanuts in my coke, after a discussion here...I don't quite grok. Maybe I did it wrong.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'd go to a chicken-based theme park.
I totally would!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
For those of you with dryer issues - I drape my clothes over a rack (or my ironing board) in front of a fan. Speeds up the drying time and, in my overheated apartment, keeps the temperature bearable.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Isaac has an Ikea mattress and it's quite good. It's firm but not hard, plus I put the feather mattress on it and now his bed is downright comfy. Cody likes it better than the one on our bed, which was a helluva lot more money. The Ikea mattress is oddly small however, as in smaller than a regular single.

Frozed pipes still but I should have a plumbing appointment on Wednesday. Now I am waiting for a flu shot. Took four calls (and a forty mile drive) to find someplace with doses. But I brushed my teeth so being unshowered is tolerable. If I didn't sweat much in yoga.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Cass, that sounds like a no fun day. I'm sorry you have to wait until Wednesday for a plumber.
Gronk. I guess between not sleeping well last night, exercising this morning, and doing some housework, I was very tired. I took a much longer nap than I intended to take. I'm now trying to wake up with one of those Starbucks via instant peppermint mochas; they're not half bad for someone that isn't much of a coffee drinker.
