mac took money out of purse, lied about it, and then refused to go to the outpatient place because he did not like the consequences here and he didn't them there. fuck all. I am working from home (thank dog I never turned in my loaner laptop) and have cancelled what was to be day 2 with the new sitter. This may well be the end of the new sitter, I do not think she likes the idea of this type of thing popping up unexpected and/or what it would mean if it happened with her.
One stupid decision on his part - all these cascading consequences. Will he ever get it.

I just went to a cafe, which had a gaggle of 9 or 10 year old girls in it. Most of them had cellphones. Things have changed since I was a kid.
Do lots of kids that age have their own phones? Or is it because I'm in Highland Park (a wealthy suburb) at the moment?
I think that's about the age when kids start to get them, since it's the age when they start being allowed out without parents, and the parents want to be able to reach them. Nine seems a bit young, but 12 or so, certainly.
My nine year old niece has an iPhone. She lives in a small city in borderline Appalachia Ohio.
Here, starting in 7th grade the high schools are city-wide, so the kids can be at school a long way from home. And starting in 9th grade they are required to use city buses for transit, no school buses. So I'll probably get my kid one by age 12, and definitely by 14.

Emmett did from around the time he was 10. But I needed it to coordinate picking him up in the East Bay and also he stopped going to after care around 4th grade so I wanted a way to keep in touch with him.
Oh, msbelle, I'm sorry.
Mac! Consequences! Yikes.
I'm sad about Ray Bradbury--last of the original Grand Masters--but he had a good run. (But let us ignore what he said about Fahrenheit 451 in his later years...)
Gnargh.
Google is just confusing me. I read recently a quote about you dying three deaths: first when you stop breathing, second something something, third the last time someone says your name. Google isn't helping me find a source, and in fact is introducing a version where it's two deaths. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is it a "real" quote, or something that just gets bounced around the internet by emo 13 year olds?
