Really? It seemed like an overreaction to me (on my stepdad's part), but I didn't realize it was a thing people were doing. That was a hasty assumption on my part, and I need to adjust my opinion.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wouldn't make someone not use my bathroom, but I'd Lysol the hell out of it once they left. Telling someone to pee in your yard is a little over the top, imho.

I highly recommend watching the convention with a 5 year old who sticks out her tongue every time the current occupant's name is mentioned.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I would recommend making that a segment at the convention.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
possibly have her watch some of the RNC, video tape it and put it online and go viral!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We have food year-round AND we flush the toilet whenever we want, like goddamn ROYALTY.
Ok now you're just showing off.
(But also, fomite transmission is not a thing with this virus, letting people use your bathroom is fine as long as they don't lick the doorknob on the way in.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, my freedom to lick doorknobs has been seriously oppressed for a long time now

I have a 5 year old. I can't guarantee no one is licking doorknobs.

That was a big part of my there-is-no-point-to-pooping-in-the-yard discussion I had with my mom. Though the problem is my stepdad, not my mom. He's a very smart man, but he's reacting out of fear, and that's a hard thing to get past.
But I would stop licking doorknobs if it meant I didn't have to poop in the yard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you're watching the convention, tell me how Biden's speech goes. I'm too nervous to watch.
