I love it. And at this point it's just a cultural thing to sing it. Like Happy Birthday or Journey. There's no real reason to stop at this point and it is a harmless tradition that makes people feel good.

More power to her, but I'll be singing it even whilst locked in extended eye contact with her scowling gaze.

Exactly. Thank you.

I have one teenager on my FB only because I'm friends with his mom and she thinks of me as a role model for him. But lucky me he's a rather cool art dork so I just have to list him out of my status updates about 21+ behavior at the cost of seeing some 14 year old's Homestuck cosplay pictures and drawings.

Good kid.

Yeah no one in my family has really pushed me like that. My little bro and my cousin are both on there because reasons. The others, I guess if they friend me, I will accept. But they go into the "family" list where I default them as not being able to see my status updates.

Well there is one near San Diego near the desert I know that works. They all have normal jobs that they drive into town for or tele-commute for.

But so much of their exposure only happens where there is a juicy story about betrayal, cult worship, and abuse attached to it. It'd be like if…

Hmmm, a new CPU and a curling iron

Oh, I've seen them :) It was just statues specifically I haven't seen much.

That's awesome :)

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

"but WHEN he is bearded" is what I meant to write.

I don't know why but but he is bearded he looks more feminine to me

If gift giving has no meaning any more it is because material things are constantly and expectedly purchased without much thought because that is what you are supposed to do. It has little to do with people finding themselves in uncomfortable social situations where un-thoughtful gifts are given and praise is expected…

I thought they come with a little pouch to store them in?

If they don't I'd always have it in a ziplock plastic bag and wash it when I got home.

You're in luck! I'm in San Diego. Haha.

I actually think that coat looks pretty nice! I'd probably never get a chance to wear it down here though. You seem pretty aware of yourself and her tastes. I think you're doing alright.

Oh gosh, me too! I have a friend that adores anachronistic styles and a sewing fiend. She's always telling me that I should learn to sew but I couldn't. The start up costs are too high for the later-on pay offs
