Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Lands End dresses are my new overalls, in that they are comfortable enough to allow me to get fatter than I'd like without realizing it because they aren't fitted.

Ahahahaha, this is also me, wrt dresses. The dress I'm wearing today is technically a nursing dress! But it's comfy and not obviously maternity-wear, so.

JC on a stick you guys. MY FUCKING KID!

Got up after I told him twice this morning (he had promised to set alarm and get himself up and showered) and the WENT TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR OF THE BATHROOM AND LOCKED THE DOOR! After dealing with that I gave him two more shots at getting out of the house this morning. One deadline and he could still go to day camp - he blew that one, did nothing, went back to bed. Second one, after I had tried to roll him out of bed physically and HE CAME OUT ME ALL CRAZY ANIMAL WITH A PILLOW - he still blew, just stayed curled up on the floor. FUCK. SO know he is at home alone with no computer, video game consoles or phone. I've texted the nanny to see if she could come in early, but heard nothing. So now his last week before school starts, while already anxiety filled will be without his electronics for comfort. SMART MOVE TWEEN!

Sorry to be a natter downer.

I will represent the fake urban youth for early 90's fashion. I had my 40" waist jeans and doorknocker earrings. I did have a couple of bodysuits, a velvet mock turtleneck long-sleeve black one got a lot of wear. Also black thick leggings and a black spandex full body suit that I wore a cropped bright blue deep-v sweater over.

Because books.

I'm sorry, msbelle. Any idea why he was so resistant this morning? Is he anxious about school next week?

Because books.

Also? Kashi Go Lean Crunch tastes like lightly sweetened styrofoam. Blech.

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

Man, I loved the grunge years. It was like fashion had decided what I was already wearing (jeans and flannel and thrift shop what-have-you) was in style.

Grunge years were high school for me. So I kinda always envision high schoolers dressing grungy. Even though I know they don't.

Msbelle, is he not getting enough sleep? Or is he staying up when he's supposed to be sleeping? I feel like sleeping on the bathroom floor is something I've only done when I'm feeling super sick. That's just weird.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh dear, msbelle.

I have a question about "voter fraud" and "ID requirements". Where I vote, I go to my polling place, tell them my name and address, and they look me up in a huge book. The book has my signature in it. They cover it up, and I sign the book.

a) Is it like that everywhere

b) In order to "vote without an ID", therefore somehow committing voter fraud, you would have to know someones' name, address, and polling place, and that they weren't showing up to vote? It seems unlikely that voter fraud at any large scale could be committed without the complicity of the voting officials and/or the machine makers.

That's the standard in NYS.

Yes. That's why this kind of voter fraud is a bullshit issue.
