Someone tell me not to scream at random strangers on Twitter about flu.
I could yell at people about the flu on Twitter, but instead I'm going to attend a talk on what's on my San Francisco ballot so I know how to vote on all these propositions.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Or, they don't want you to go. Maybe it's that one.
That's....kind of reasssuring?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I often gave mac 2-3 choices for dinner and if he refused all he could get himself cold cereal or fruit, but that was at age 6 and older.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
For those looking to dress for the season, I saw a dress in the window of the local H&M. It's a black t-shirt type dress, with long sleeves, and it had a skeleton painted on it (ribs, spine, pelvis arm bones, thigh bones since it was knee length) with flowers painted on the bones, kind of Day of the Dead sugar skull type decoration (although no actual skull).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My mother would often offer me cereal if I didn't eat, and then my grandparents would ruin it by coming over and making me a frittata. ltc would choose cereal every time, so I'm hesitant to start that at this age. I read somewhere that some kids need to try things 20 times before they develop a taste for it. So, I make her at least try everything on the plate.

My mother tried the "Try everything on your plate" thing with me. I'd smell it and say no. She'd insist. I'd go on a hunger strike. She'd serve it to me every dinner until it went moldy.
May you not have a kid like me.

She can't have her slice of bread or her "dessert" (a piece of fruit) if she hasn't tried everything. So far it works.

Dessert was a small price to pay for the righteousness of my cause to never consume creamed corn.l

I was the same way, Connie, but at least for now ltc is using her stubborness in other areas.

I think it's just No on 5, 6, and 11.
