If I only had a brain...

What about the moratorium? Should I let that quietly die, or should I formally propose it and bring it up for a vote? (I'm not trying to back out; I still approve of the idea, but I don't want to drag my Buffistas through any more hedgerows unnecessarily.)

Dude, my SiL and now-former-BiL did this.

Seven years later, they divorced.

Bad. Idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking only for myself, I'd love to address the moratorium issue before we do anything else.

Up with the sun

Patrick's hippy-dippy friends in Eugene have wrist tattoos instead of rings. They seem happy.

Then again, they also had a ceremonial bong hit inplace of wedding cake.

After which they craved wedding cake?

Ya know, I have never asked that question, Amy. I should.

(They're actually very sweet people -- the male half just sort of smokes pot the way people in the '50's smoked cigarettes.)

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

Do you mean the Grandfather Proposal? I think that should come before the Tim Thread vote, if you are ready to write up the proposal.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'll hold off Jesse. I just got home, and I can write up my proposal to post after the grandpappy proposal.

I think I did. Let me Threadsuck Bureaucracy tomorrow and look for it.

Our wings are not tired.

Well, I got back here and there were 258 messages in Bureaucracy. I thought maybe I could skip to recent and see what was up. Still don't know, but still just giddy about Jacqueline & Hec. Maybe I will threadsuck tomorrow, or not. Might watch Buffy instead, sounds like a plan.
