Its very clear to the kids which of them gets the subsidized lunch, it is even less healthful than the regular school lunch, which is itself modified industrial waste that didn't make the cut to convenience store snack food batter. Parents with the means pack a lunch.

If it weren't for your water issues, it might be a nice place to emigrate to. You don't need my kids with their eternal shower needs. ;-)

My understanding, from discussions with the superintendent of our school district, is that it is actually more costly to administer who "deserves," or doesn't, free and reduced lunch, than it would be to just provide a free lunch to all the students.

I think we should give option 2 a try, regardless. The adult employed at a higher wage will inject more into the economy than three adults on welfare, thus enabling the employment of the other two who aren't flipping burgers anymore.

They were discussing this on KPCC on tuesday, and a briefly displaced American called in to whine about how expensive a soda, among other things, was when they lived in Australia because the minimum wage there is so high. Cheap soda is so much more important than dignity in labor, right?

I...have to watch that show now. That was awesome.

Was she too young for prenatal testing? I don't get why they didn't know the child had down's till days after he was born. Normally, I wouldn't think it was my business, but since she brought the dog whistle to the party, my attention is piqued: Too young, too believer, or just arrogantly ignorant?

How will these people's thinner jaws perform as they age? I worry.

Bathing is such an individual thing, the necessity is totally overblown by the oblique hygiene shaming in advertising. My hair is awful when its clean; I'm good with twice a week unless I'm getting a lot of exercise, hubs is every day (and needs it, just from office work). I don't get why in the US we don't have much…

PTA bath: pussy, tits, armpits. Good to go.

This movie should be shown as part of the health/sex-ed section in high schools.

I remember walking to classes at the U of I in -20 weather: The steam heat system was on such overdrive that we had to have the windows open in the classrooms, and practically strip to keep from overheating. Dried out my respiration-soaked scarves quickly, though.

Pink seems like some of the "tough girls" I grew up with, who got some positive reinforcement instead of society pushing her down. She's a bamf on her own terms, and we're better for having her around.

From the looks of this thread, better make it 10 years.

Stupid board shorts. I feel cheated. (Plum smugglers ftw.)

Is this a medicare coverage move? Is one of them switching sides? What about the muskrats? Who will think of the muskrats?

I'm pretty sure this particular orgasm always results in a UTI for me, so I'm gonna skip level 3 and just go directly to 11, as usual. Why are we buying into rating orgasms on a number scale?

The fabrics are interesting. Can live without the dismorphia-inducing waistlines. I always wonder how much of a collection is one odious little man's vision vs. the collective contribution of starstruck minions in spite of it.

typo please fix: retch ≠ wretch

That's about them, not you. Stink eye is something I reserve for more important things—like too many items in the express line. If I even notice, which I don't generally. Too busy sticking the divider in ;-)
