Both my mom and dad got cataracts surgery, and they were over the moon at how much better they could see afterwards.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Always Anti-fascist!
Ugh. I hate that nauseating macro that goes "Remember when we had a system that treated the mentally ill like people until Ronald Reagan blah blah..."(fear not, I still loathe the Gipper) but it always makes me go "Pray tell, which ten seconds was that?!" Just goes to prove that some of Ours love their bullshit as much as Theirs, imo, cause if you ask me, locking people away forever? Not really a humane solution, even if it's not really a human tragedy seen and smelled by Joan Public on the street.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah... wearhousing people forever in squalor was no great shakes.
Not funding the group homes that were supposed to replace that, however, does fall squarely on Ronnie and the boys.

Of course it does. I'm just saying we've never really had a good mental health system. Just like with Social Security. I need the program, and in some ways, it works well(Which is really what haters hate the most)But it's not enough to say that...people say it provides dignity and independence(More than begging, less than about anything else.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Trudy, do you know yet when your episode of Elementary airs? I keep watching intently...but then I get distracted by Clyde, or Joan's shoes, or Kitty's hair.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Trudy said it was episode 11. Last night's was episode 7.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thrive to spite them
YAY last day of class.
So Territory people came yesterday and were checking out, I'm not sure what. I got to see the trainer from NH , she seemed impressed I was on the sales floor. Talked to two others who seemed interested in what I said.
Then today I checked my work email and there was a certificate/award for top performer. I asked about it and the territory people (or one of them) asked the store manager to make a list of people who he thought should be recognized. And I was one of them. Also they apparently liked my enthusasim.
And I came up with presents for my nephew. I kinda want to get him a book still but I'm not sure which one and I dont' want to duplicate anything. Right now my brother is reading him Harry Potter. He's 6 1/2 and I'm not sure what he has in terms of books he can read on his own. Any suggestions on that?
He loves science and mom suggested this science thing so I got him that and a kit to make a robot out of a soda can. And he and my brother's GF (who by all rights I should just start refering to her as E's stepmom) garden together so I got a bunch of seeds off of Etsy. Purple pole beans, black tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, a melon, blue corn, purple okra and a few other things.
PArt of me feels like I should get him more and that it's a bad idea to get him something he has to wait to plant but I know he loves to be in the garden and it's kind of a gift for my brother's GF as well.
