That's too bad, Zen. Your friend will get over her disappointment, and maybe schedule a class that you can get to sometime in the future.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I think we could all use this.

Compassionately intolerant
they likewise think all liberals are fools who are blindly accepting the "lies" their leaders hand them
The conservatives I know who are saying things like this are the worst offenders of swallowing the lies.
I don't have anything against Conservative thought, really, but I take offense when I'm accused of being naive by people who, when pressed to cite the logic/rationale for their arguments say, "Because he said so. It's just true!"
CongratuWelldone Consuela. I'm so happy for your news!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And it's no-calorie, if I recall correctly.
No calories and no caffeine, two of my favorite qualities in a drink!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I read some economics theory that says it's not in most people's interests (economically speaking) to be well-informed about politics. I don't remember the details.
It's a pretty simple cost-benefit analysis, I think. It takes a fair amount of effort to stay informed, but one's individual vote has next to no chance of making any difference. It's essentially a free rider problem.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Woo hoo, 'suela! That's great news.
flea, I'm sorry for you personally/professionally, and everyone's lives he's affected. It's terrible and hard, and I wish we all could be better humans.
bonny, much ~ma to you. I'm glad the news has been initially good.
Not thinking about, engaging with, or making any public statement about the primaries right now. I'm not going to convince anyone, so all I can do is stick to my guns and vote for the candidate I feel will do the job best.
I love Fresca too. Be aware that it has grapefruit juice in it so there may be med interactions. Same with SunDrop and Ting.

Todd, I can't get enough of those flower power photos. They definitely put me in my happy place.
