Wow. Just...wow.

You can thank "Reefer Madness" for the misunderstanding. :)

Actually, it explains a lot. Had a former boss who espoused the same sorts of charming opinions (plus a little more racism thrown in for Good Ol' Boy measure), and he was functionally illiterate. It happens.

Ah, well...maybe you could help repair the damage done by docs that DON'T? LOL Best of wishes, in your upcoming career, whatever course it may run. :)

Oh please, DO. We need more people who have some idea what they're doing, in this field.

Thank you, so much. Where I am, in the culture we're living in, this is not a thing that would be met with approval, if it were well-known. This is a Mormon town, but I am decidedly not. I really, really appreciate input from "outside", because I'm not FROM here- it's where I landed.

Ah, but this is the tip of the iceberg. My youngest wanted a dollhouse for his Barbies and Ken, for Christmas. And by golly, he's getting one! When assembled, the danged thing's going to be taller than he is. :)

This is a serious question: are there major differences between the Methodist and Presbyterian methods of worship? Because I've noticed that the Pres. church down the street has been celebrating the heck out of gay marriage and the end of DOMA- their reader-board's been a lot of fun to read. I bet they'd be delighted…

I know, right? It's so Ellen....

Oh, how fun! Wish I'd known about this back when I was still having babies...and immensely glad that most of the sanctimommy stuff didn't yet exist at that time.

"Sanctimommy blogs". Oh, thank you, thank you so much! I've been fumbling around for the right term for SO LONG NOW. Perfect! Thank you!

You, sir or madame, are an awesome person.

Nope. It's much, much richer. :)

My thoughts exactly. Read the headline, and said "Alrighty!" out loud. My boss gave me a funny look, but he's kinda used to this sort of thing.

Same here! I've never shopped H&M, but I'd definitely consider them, if this works out.

It's all in the delivery. If you say, "Duuuuude, I need a price-check on this here Mile High Hungarian. Oh, and where do you keep the Cheez Doodles...?" with a slightly vacant expression, you'll do fine! I mean, really, isn't it more embarrassing to admit that you need a Hickory Farms Yard-O-Beef?

Um. Jello's made with animal byproducts. Beefy, bony byproducts. It's just not safe!

Little Tart is absolutely correct. I live in a Right-To-Work State. If you check the maps for the Walmart Black Friday protests, you'll find that there were ZERO of 'em here in Idaho. I doubt that there were any fast-food protests here, either. The reason? Right-to-Work means that your employer can fire you without…

I dunno...I'm a hennaed vivid-redhead, and I'd wear this. With green boots. And bright orange accessories. Because I can.
