I love it when a man uses all the buttons.

Yeah, it was not as good as I wanted it to be.

This gif reminded me to go look up the shorts they’ve done with/for Faith.

Because it’s brand new to us here and still something that many of us are very unhappy about, and there are still all sorts of ongoing issues about open carry on campus and other places. It’s not at all irrelevant when I’m talking about political things that are happening in Texas and, in particular, as a response to…

I just want to be invited to ALT’s house to watch Parks & Recreation. I have my own caftan and everything!

Family reunions must be awesome.

The field I work in (and volunteer in and live in) was fearful about the trickle down effects of the state law that struck down Denton’s anti-fracking laws. There were a lot of legislators who also wanted to apply it to things like bag bans, because all of liberals in Austin were trying to make everyone give up their…

I didn’t suggest we were the first or only one?

Oh, I know.

Yeah, it’s kind of insane that the state constitution hasn’t been changed for that. They meet 180 days starting January of odd years. They budget for the biennium. I believe that special sessions can be called in the intervening time, but that’s ever been done. The state legislators tend to like their cushy positions.…

There is speculation that the Texas lege will be looking at some bathroom laws next year (our lege only meets for 6 months every other year). We’re an open carry state now. Who knows what kind of fuckery might happen!

Those purses look so weird and ungainly with the suits.

Having grown up in a military town, I can confirm what you said.

When the sewer pipes back up on a weekend, I don’t have to find a plumber who will work on a Sunday, or pay the crazy extra fees out of my pocket right then for said purpose.

I’ve never been into wrestling, but did watch Celebrity Rehab. Even on that trainwreck of a show you could tell how genuinely good-hearted she was.

I’m well aware of the abuse within the religion and have never suggested that the religion as a whole should be viewed any different because of two people that I know. Again, I was trying to be part of a conversation about the subject. Nowhere did I say that you are wrong or that anything you experienced personally is…

One of them was raised as a JW, though I don’t recall which.

I would imagine the no contact thing varied from church to church. I posted elsewhere but my childhood doctor was a JW and his wife was my 6th science teacher in a public school. And they generally only talked about their religion when it was brought up by others. My mom actually worked for the dr for a number of…

Not to berate you with comments on this, but my childhood doctor was a JW, and his wife was my 6th grade science teacher. And they were both fantastic at what they did and never talked about their religion unless it was brought up by someone else.

I love how much George looks like his Granny in this photo. And it’s a rare photo where QEII’s purse is fully hidden.
