Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What to do? We can 1) tell him tonight and introduce the K teacher (who is very nice) and elide the whole uncertainty thing; 2) keep pretending he is going to the old school and tell him either when the situation is settled or the day before school starts, whichever comes sooner; 3) say to hell with this insanity and switch him back to our old school.

I'm with Jesse. Go with 1) with the introductions and elisions.

I concur with the group.

I'm never sure with Dylan how much information is enough. If I tell him something is certain and then plans change, he gets completely wigged out. If I tell him something is uncertain, he worries about ALL the options. So I would introduce him to the K-1 teacher and then if they hire a 1st grade teacher after all, deal with that separately.

Hey, do I win some sort of prize because one of the comments on the CNN article was about how I'm fat? I think I should get a prize.

not your mom's socks.

your prize is a giant cluestick for use on trolls of your choice.

ETA. Really, there should be a troll bingo board.

Link me again so I can go comment about how gorgeous and luscious you are?

Who is responsible for the chimp feeding the baby tiger on Good Things? Because I literally just squeaked out loud when I saw it. The cute, it is too much. The chimp is so happy (in his little jean shorts)!

I was reading mostly for amusement, but yeah. And the "fat" comment doesn't even really bug me, but that's the point where I went "Okay, I'm out. You people are boring".

Awww, thanks Amy! Clicky-link: [link]

I think you look great, Jilli. My mom is your fan...she asks about Buffistas a lot, but she especially wants to hear about your stuff.
