Critical for us senior cits with arthritic fingers — will they come out with a new version of their turbo controller? If they will, the hubs and I are SO on board for this.
Welcome, friend.
You seem to misunderstand what academics are saying. Some people are sexually attracted to children. Some people enjoy fantasizing killing their enemies. Both “thoughts” are potentially stress-reducing. The problem arises when one attempts to act on the thoughts. Nobody in a responsible position in academia supports…
H is 8th letter, “88" is a common trope in supremacist groups.
Same here. I was delighted by the poem—which, yes, is a jab at foodies. I’ve thought for years that “analyze the theme of this poem” was a bogus and frustrating part of English class. Was I wrong? Maybe we need more of it?
All snark aside, I find Bernie Sanders wonderfully refreshing. There’s something bracing and—well, new and unusual about a candidate who focuses on the issues and refuses to get dragged into to discussions of petty tangential bullshit. I’m feelin’ the Bern!
Good for you, my dear, for taking steps to protect yourself before you made any moves.
I don’t see where I fit in. I’m a paranoid wreck, looking at the slightest buzzy feeling as a dangerous loss of control, running off to the corner to load comfort carbs in hope that it’ll take away the buzzy. I know that this isn’t my true personality, though, because I’m a cheerful Mary Poppins when stoned. It’s just…
Some of my proudest moments as a mom were when my son bragged to his buddies about my Nintendo prowess. I whupped Contra without the cheat code twice. Then I finally wrote down the damn code. Much easier then.
Hubbard claimed that *every* woman tried at least 7-8 times to abort her fetus with every pregnancy. The man had a serious, serious problem with mother figures.
Yeah, I was a double major in special ed and linguistics, worked with kids with primary language disorders. Loved every minute of every course in linguistics! :)
I was working the registration table at a Mensa Regional Gathering on a Friday afternoon. He was a walk-in registrant. We were a pair of late-thirties divorce survivors. As the crowds ebbed and flowed, we kept meeting up. We talked about computer programming, Typhoid Mary, puns, and syntactic theory. By the time of…
I am so grateful that eight years ago, our son insisted that we try WoW. Recently we did a multi-generational dungeon crawl: gram and gramps, son, grandson. It's a great way to have family time when you're in different cities.
Basic community health. Learning about vaccines, epidemics, infections and how they work/spread, how to listen critically to an ad for drugs, basic sanitary procedures and expectations. This should also include (regardless of the school's attitude toward sex ed) basic child care and infant development, the basics of…
Bull. If it's an apartment, you need two at the door and two at the bottom of the fire escape. If it's a house, two at the back. Only places you have 4 entrances and exits are office buildings and stores, and I don't see SWAT raiding them. The advantage to SWAT was that it sometimes prevented the targets from flushing…
Yes. Knock on the door. Identify yourself. Have other officers blocking the alternative exits. It worked for hundreds of years. If they take a hostage, it's someone who's in there with them. If they have a gun and bring it to the door, no problem. If they choose not to open the door, THEN break in. A nation that once…
Yes. That's exactly what I would propose. Knock on the door. Identify yourself. Have more people blocking alternative exits. I
They have no business throwing a grenade through a window until they've established exactly who is in the house. And they've shot more than their share of tiny dogs just because they were yappy. Or because their adrenaline was flowing FAST and they had to shoot SOMETHING. Don't get me started on the new militarized…
