Spring has sprung!
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I heard a song last night on the radio, a song I have heard before several times, but do not retain who sings it. It sounds a lot like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, but has people yelling "Hey" in it like the Lumineers song also. I would say the singers are definitely NOT American unless their singing voice is soooo affected to be foreign sounding. British/Irish/Australian is where I'd guess. Hivemind?
Can I remember any lyric? No, no I cannot, because that American Authors song is stuck in my head.
OK will all that is so crazy - I am gonna post anyway, but I just did find the song. will see what you all come up with.

So he was excommunicated for not being crazy enough?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's fascinating on the excommunication, msbelle. So yeah, sounds like not a lot of hope for there being less hate now that he's gone. He did too good a job of nurturing it while he was alive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
tommy, substitute grandmother for father, and you're me.
I admire the kind of human who feels sorry for Phelps and pities the members of his church, but I am not one. I don't want anything horrible to happen to any of them, but I have no sympathy with any pain they may go through. I hope their church tears itself apart and its legacy dies with its current members.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I hate being around angry people--it makes me really uncomfortable. Even when it's nothing to do with me.
Me, too. Actually, it depends on how the anger's being expressed. But yes, generally. And I had the same experience with my dad, tommyrot.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My dad had a very bad temper but I don;t have those issues. Maybe because he really tried to control it and we all knew when we were setting him off, so it was predictable. The third time he asked you to do something or if you were rude to my mom in his presence, watch out. There was yelling and sometimes spanking or a clout on the head. But I have no problem being around anger. I don't like it, the DH and I work hard not to lose out tempers with each other, but I don't have the visceral reaction a lot of friends do.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
But how is Rose old enough to enjoy dress up?? Isn't she like, a year old?
Well, she'll be two next month, but she definitely enjoys things like silly hats and glasses and wearing Daddy's shoes. A lot of the dress-up stuff she won't use for a while, but I think she'll start playing with some of it pretty soon.
Burrell and Kat, thank you so much for offering costume things! I would gladly take them off your hands if you feel like sending them my way, but I do have a good amount of stuff already, so don't feel like you have to.
msbelle, I don't have any idea what song you're referring to, but I'd be curious to know the answer!
