Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Punishingly Intricate

The part I don't understand is not wanting to get on with it -- whatever "it" is. I was dying to get out of town and out of the house and out of high school (in reverse order, I guess). And I had a great home life and a fine time in high school!
Yeah, same on all counts. I was so ready to move away!

Our wings are not tired.

Same here, and yet my older son would have stayed home and played video games forever if I had allowed it. Younger son isn't the most ambitious person either, but his wife is so that helps. He has at least always worked.

I was outta there! My parents were great, but I didn't even stay home until I was 18.

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

Me too. I could not wait to get out of the house and into the world.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I got my flu shot yesterday and then couldn't figure out why my arm hurt this morning.

Is Halloween considered a bad thing in Jewish culture or is ltc's school just being super weird about it for no reason?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, it's a pagan holiday, no? I understand any organization based on any other religion not wanting to celebrate it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I guess that's probably it. I wanted to bring in some Halloween lollipops for ltc's classmates, which is allowed on other occasions. I went to public school and we always dressed up on Halloween at school.

We dressed up in Catholic school. It was one day we didn't have to wear our uniforms.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

A woman I rode up on in the elevator this morning was wearing a fascinator. I'm not sure if that was meant to be a Halloween costume, or even if it counts as a costume.

I was just wondering how much guacamole I was wearing. I'll just add the lollipops and fruit treats (all individually wrapped to the trick or treater loot.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've heard of some Christian denominations disapproving of Halloween, but never heard of it being against any Jewish traditions/teachings.

I did a storytime this past Saturday at a local event where I had brought a bunch of Halloween/spooky books to read, and one kid told me before I began that his mom didn't approve of Halloween, so could I not read any Halloween books? (I gave a sort of noncommittal response and then later this same kid started requesting a bunch of the Halloween books, so I just read them and nobody gave me any trouble about it, but I was still pretty weirded out by the request.)
