The body electric?
I don't think that's the same -- in "I sing the body electric," body is the direct object, and electric is the object complement, right? Or am I totally misreading that phrase?
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I just looked up "trip the light fantastic," and it turns out that was originally "trip it as ye go, on the light fantastic toe." Which actually makes a lot more sense.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Man, in people don't all suck news, you know how music teachers are sometimes the most able to be keyed into a kid's vision issues? We have a student who had glasses, but they broke. For a while we were thinking they were going to be able to be replaced, but it was coming up on six months. And she'd just hit the point where she was really frustrated in class because she couldn't see the board.
So we finally made an appeal on facebook, and people gave over $500 in basically 45 minutes, including what came by check later.
So new glasses for not just one kiddo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's great, Liese.

That's awesome, Liese.
Facebook is giving me a "become an ultrasound tech" ad, where the picture is one of those freaky cakes with a doll head and limbs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Aww, RIP Barnabas Collins.
Sad to hear, but I suppose it's kind of nice his final appearance will be a role in Dark Shadows.

Because books.
That's what I thought, Matt! Definitely fitting.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Things I learned from you people today:
1) women religious
2) gestational age
WE ARE SMART PEOPLES!!! you know, as a group.
so, I am home. It's not quite 4pm yet. what happened? well mac happened, but in a better than normal way. He got upset at school, and he DID NOT hit anyone, runaway, or break things....he did try to swallow pen tops in order to choke himself and threatened his own safety verbally. So, I made the 40 minute commute in 25 and now we are home. He's fine and we've discussed the wrongheadedness of wanting to hurt someone as awesome as mac because people were making faces and mouthing curse words.
