I know of people who know these thing. My dad, likely, for one. Fire away.

brillig

it's been a very slow night. Hubby is sitting on the porch with a bag of candy and some candles. A father and his small ones went by, and dad said, "This house has lights on and there's someone sitting there who I bet has candy." And his little girl said, "No, Daddy, we're not allowed to go to houses with unmembers." IE, not members of the Mormon church. IE again, our house has been blacklisted.

I don't care, but Hubby adores this kind of stuff and is quite hurt. I've told him that he can go to church if he wants to blend in with the neighborhood, but it's not my church and I will not pretend it is.

Dammit. Maybe some freethinkers will come by.

Thank you. I'll hit your profile addy, likely tomorrow. I need to find words that cloak the dumb first.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The Trojan objects/points are actually named after a bunch of asteroids that were named for Trojan War characters, which is the only Trojanish element to them.

I'm going to have to FF through a bunch of tonight's Hoarders, as it looks like the cat hoarder's kitties are in damn rough shape.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

And his little girl said, "No, Daddy, we're not allowed to go to houses with unmembers."

It's sad when children are so brainwashed they refuse free candy.

What is the corrupting power in nationally distributed fun-size candy purchased by non-Mormons?

poof

Don't worry about finding the right words. If you try to hide what you don't understand, you're less likely to get a response couched in terms you will understand, or from the starting point you need.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Connie, that so sucks.

Oh, hey, surly teenagers without costumes who cleaned out my candy bowl. It's like I summoned them. I actually called them that and said I hoped they didn't get a stomachache or anything.

This tag on twitter (and many of the posts under the tag) are cracking my shit up:

How much is that wedding supposed to have cost?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Just finished my lab that's due on Wednesday. I didn't do the Bibliography page yet, but I can cobble that together after work tomorrow. I've scheduled a half-day off of work Thursday afternoon so I can visit the Newberry Library for my class. We have to write up our visit--that's due on the 16th along with two other labs, so I'll be coming here to campus on Saturday to get those labs done. Then, we get the 23rd off for Thanksgiving, and the final project and one more lab are due on the 30th. Presentations for said final project will be done on the 30th and the 7th, and then we're done--yay!

Next semester, I'm taking Government Documents, which is an online class so I don't have to schlep down here in winter traffic. Also, since that's what I've been working with for the past decade or so, I'm hoping it'll be a bit easier for me.
