Skyzy, no you are so very correct.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We have a friend from Northern California that pronounces "almond", "Am-mund".
WTF is that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Am-mund".
That's how you say it!
Skyzy - Mar 19, 2004 10:36:58 am PST #1574 of 10002
I say it "Awl-mund", possibly even "All-mond". Not sure at the moment. I have said it so many times that semantic saturation has taken place and I don't even know what the original word was any more.

Is not!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Is too! Webster's says it both ways, but ah-mond is preferred.

Pfft. What do they know, anyway? They have "ain't" in there.
Skyzy - Mar 19, 2004 10:53:08 am PST #1578 of 10002
Well, I think "ain't" is a correct word to use if you refer to yourself as "Ai" instead of "Iy" ... On second thought, it should still be "Ai'mn't".

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Seriously I think it is a parental responsibility to know what your kids are watching on tv and reading in books. How you deal with it is up to you. up 'til 3 or 4th grade my mom read almost everything we read then she couldn't keep up - but she and my dad still had a fair idea of what we were reading. When we started reading bodic rippers mom said " just remember , that's not what sex is like " ( that was a long conversation about sex in our house) . I have friends who won't let their kids watch thing that are too violent or scary - cause their kids get nightmares. I have a friend who turn off the power rangers, 'casue her son was constantly imitating them, to the point where it was becomming a problem.
I don't really think forbidding works. but choseing does. Kids need guidence. I think TIVO is a great tool for families. I was sheltered because I grew up in a very homgenous area, but not because people ept thiggs from me. I had a few bumps,but not too many. Some kids aren't thsat curious. others need to know everything now. I think you gotta know the kid.
