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

Given that the study was funded by people who want to RUN A TRAIN through SEVERAL PLAGUE PITS, it seems a little convenient.

Yeah, given that the results are accepted by the scientific community, and that it's been confirmed in studies over (by my count) five different European cities, it doesn't seem to be a terribly convincing objection.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I fail worse. I got most of the paper typed up, but with incomplete sources and not enough info, I'm going to go to our field trip tonight without a paper, and just email it to him later tonight. I'll get dinged a point for being a day late, but it'll be done correctly at least. I'm going to head back to campus after our field trip (at the School of the Art Institute Library) so I can get my sources in the reference section correct, including page numbers. The library on campus is open until midnight, so I can finish off the paper and email it before they close and still be home by around 12:30 or so.

information libertarian

I cancelled dentist appointments in Georgia for kids and adults, and walked 2 miles to get the kids. I only had to walk 2/3 of the way back, because our neighbor came and got us. Her daughter passed us on the street on her bus, and told the mom where we were, and begged the mom to come get us so she could play with my kids. Now they are all outside singing, loudly and badly. (There are city buses that could cut out some of the walking, but not on any kind of convenient schedule. For the record, my kids' walking pace is about a mile every 38 minutes.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Not home yet, so I haven't done any of my onerous stuff there, but I did call about my student loan stuff to see where it is stuck. Didn't get any great answers but will follow up again on Friday.

Also - work is driving me nuts. Too much hurry up and wait. Or PMs who ask me to help but only give me 10% of the information I need to be able to help them. When I send them a list asking for A, B, C, I typically get back B, half of C, plus R and Q. Gahhhhh. This isn't rocket science people. Just answer the questions asked. Not that difficult. If you don't know...just say that instead of ignoring the question.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

oh flea, I feel for you. Picking the kids up from school shouldn't be an onerous task. But yay for nice neighbors!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Weird find during a vanity google: [link]

I always thought my name was so unique. Now there's another me. I feel like I should offer a copy of Sam. But that would be weird and creepy. So I'll just sit here feeling odd about my name doppelganger.

Tom I want to chime in and say you give really good hugs. And presents!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And good Brooklyn walking tours!

Always Anti-fascist!

I think it would be cute, Allyson.

Whoa Allyson, your name doppelganger looks a bit like Matilda. She's like the doppelganger girl!
