I do believe you're right. Especially when we have gems like this in the news.

HA HA HA HAAA! THEY SHALL BE CRUSHED BY THE MIGHT OF THE SAMOA!

I work in what is basically a glorified pole building on a concrete slab. The owner doesn't leave the heat on over the weekend, so it takes until about Wednesday to actually warm up to room temperature. My office is cold all. Winter. Long. And I'm here to tell ya- a freezing office does not, in any way, encourage…

The whole thing feels more Metropolis than Morocco....

That's so funny! That's what I was thinking- more than one man has told me the same thing- jerseys, especially oversized ones, are apparently "hot". This other stuff- nah.

Wait...I have an Idris Elba-clone lover?

That sounds like a great idea, too- I hope that they adopt this idea here. The prison is about to be taken over by the state (it was being run by CCA until just recently), maybe they'll be open to some new ideas....

Huh. My fella seems to be pretty happy with it. Give it up for Super House Dad! :)

We have a program like that, here in Idaho. The state prison outside of Boise takes in dogs from the shelter that are considered "unadoptable", due to bad behaviors, etc. The program has inmates living with and training the dogs, and the dogs are available for purchase, afterwards.

Mmmm. Drunken sexy gay soldiers with iphones....sounds kinda like a dream come true! :)

*Hee hee* At my house, the vat of dye would be out so. Dang. Fast.

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. :)
