Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are little boys' clothes sized differently from girls'? I'm looking at a list of items to donate, and it includes "boys’ size 8 and up, girls’ 2T or 3T." Maybe it's just to fill in gaps that they have.

Edit: Also, is it wrong to buy art supplies to donate at the dollar store?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is this a good deal? Can I do better someplace else? Does furniture from Pottery Barn have a rep?

Boys and girls clothes are sized the same - in theory the number matches the age.

I woke up early and tried to jump into work but motivation is lacking. CJ hasn't woken up yet so I don't know if he is still torked at me. I still feel emotionally gutted from the arguement with K-Bug and from last night's ARP speaker. I want to cry but I need to hold it together. I want to hide in my room and sleep but I have 3 conference calls today plus a dentist appointment for CJ. Oh, and a school information meeting tonight.

OK, that's what I thought. They must have too much of other sizes, then.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, man -- I was just noticing last night that there didn't seem to be new Colberts from Monday or Tuesday. His mom died.

Yeah, I watched the very beginning of last night's show just to confirm that it wasn't a rerun and just the little bit of his preamble to the tribute to his mom that I saw was super moving.

I think buying stuff from the dollar store to donate is fine.

I love that there was a SCOTUS update x-post.

Too braggy for Facebook: Dillo just sat down and read a picture book (The Bake Shop Ghost, one of my favorites) and I thought to myself, "That's a hard book," so I looked up the Lexile and it's an 880! Which is about the 50th percentile for 5th grade. Damn that boy can read on the very rare occasions that he actually sits down and does so.

The big boss' party starts soon, and people are weird. It's part pot-luck, so we had folks write down what they would bring, and then I, and two other people are paying for the rest to be catered. People did not bring what they said they would, and I am annoyed.

flea, that's awesome. How old is Dillo?

And more importantly so I can brag about my own kids, how do you look up a book's Lexile?
