Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Being able to work at an Apple storeally could be cool but I think the closest one is in NH. There might be a closer oNE in NY but I doubt it.
I'm not really an Apple person. I own a nano. I don't remember the last time I used it. But I've gotten good enough at explain and demonstratin them some customers think I own one.
I'm not adverse to owning but the only laptop that appeals to me is the 15" Pro with the graphics card and that is so far out of my price range.
My job as a parent is to get them to *mostly* not be an asshole when they are adults.
Heh. Valuable work you're doing!

Pretty much.
As annoyed as I get with the cat demanding things, I dread to think what I would do confronted with a kid's demands, with the addition of the behavior. Shadow may miss the litter box, but he's not drawing on the wall with his shit.
I just, wow, I really don't get it. I am in awe of parents and caretakers. This is not to disparage parents, I just feel more like an awful person and Mr. Burns style inhuman, unfeeling type of thing.
You're in my brain. And you aren't (WE aren't) Mr. Burns. We're people who realized that parenthood is not the right thing for us. And it's a great good thing when people who aren't suited for parenthood are able to realize that and not cave to family/societal pressure (especially as women).
I deeply admire my friends and family who are parents. It's a wonderful thing to see (flea's family comes to mind -- I love watching flea and her DH with Casper and Dillo). But I'm also infinitely grateful that I realized I should never be a parent.

I think this is a good plan.

Right there with you. I love my goddaughters to bits, my friends' kids are delightful, but I am very, VERY glad I'm not responsible for any of them 24/7.
I just hate thinking that my own niecephews are not delightful at all.
Signed, I am currently hiding in my room and trying to summon the courage to go out there and engage with them.
Just as blood is no guarantee that your siblings and parents are uplifting people to be around, it doesn't make the allegedly cute members of the family a joy to be with.
OMG, so much whining and yelling.
(Sorry for my own whining, I'm just trying to get it out here so I don't snap).
