Because books.

That's hard, -t. Wishing you all the ~ma you need.

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

Thanks, Amy. It's kind of weird how little contact I have with his family anymore, but it's not animosity just, I don't know, mostly geography, I guess.

Watching Crossbones. Richard Coyle reminds me a lot of Russell Crowe. John Malkovich is admirably chewing all the scenery, too.

I am in South Dakota! Drive from Mnpls wasn't bad, only a couple of patches of rain. I did appear to dodge a doozy. My aunt's dithering has the potential to make me batty, but I think I'm fending it off with "she's not MY mom, thank god" and letting everyone else be annoyed with her!

Man, it's been over a decade since I was out here. Strange to think the 3rd generation is taking over the farm.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's hard, -t.

Is it acting like a noun when you say "is that Kate swinging?"

No, there it's being a present participle, just to confuse you.

Glad you made it, sarameg!

I think participles in general are beyond my scope.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh -t, sending you much ~ma and wrapping you in a virtual blanket.

I refuse to understand any of the wordstuffs y'all are talking about. I don't think I even knew what direct or indirect objects were until I learned them in Spanish class.

-t, that sounds like a hard time. I hope you're getting good support and hugs or not hugs as needed.

I'm actually pretty okay! But it is always good to know I have buffistas in my corner, ready with virtual hugs, not-hugs and blankets. Y'all are the best.

Always Anti-fascist!

The saddest thing about#yesallwomen is that the guys who need it most are all "I'm not listening!la,la, la,la!" Also some incidents that were gimp opporession are totally lady oppression, too. I kind of had to tell a friend she was a jerk today on FB. Because it's weird. She's like the lady in "Quickie Nirvana" from the Rockford Files...if you haven't seen it, you really should. Anyway, this woman who's kind of too old for it joins this commune and calls herself "Princess Moonfeather" or whatever, which, of course from Jim gets the big old @@. But she's constantly looking for a crowd or a "family" and she'll do anything to get one. But in real life my friend's new "family" is into RW talking points.
