I am desperately, desperately trying not to make a joke about forgetfulness, age, and forgetting her pants. It's not going well.

The key to all parenting in my mind has become being able to sincerely apologize to your child when you yell or say a word one shouldn't say in front of your child or otherwise act like a fool. Perfection just isn't possible. Worse, if your own parents have ever called you a name, it will slip out of your own mouth at…

My child corrects me. Especially when I'm driving and I call some other driver an idiot. To a five year old, the word 'idiot' is as bad as the word 'fuck.'

Okay, all is cool. :)

HA!! I would not be remotely surprised to find out that they all are just like that! Only without the cool, fun, British part.

Let me get this straight. The school created an unbelievably stupid rule, and shockingly (sarcasm), the teenager defied it. That said, they let her walk, meaning they let it go at the time, and then, what, got huffy afterward? That seems kind of childish.

Yes. That is the takeaway. A piece of cardboard on the head is apparently more important to them than a person's actual accomplishments in education and her religious heritage. That cardboard! It's always messing up everything!

If it's canon, I withdraw my objection.

No one is blaming anyone for anything. My only motivation for discussing safety for these scientists is to wonder if reinforcing the cars in some way would help insure their safety. Please get the chip off your shoulder.

Not really. I think Time Lord is perfectly fine. We have lots of species/job titles/affiliations, etc. that drop the gendered designation. It's nice and progressive.

This kid is great. The legislator is a douchecanoe. It's really offensive and I believe, a civil rights case.

No! Time Lord. As a title, I believe it could easily remain that way.

Actually, they've mentioned in the past that time lords can regenerate as either sex. It's not really unprecedented.

The Doctor being a woman would be great. And they should call her The Doctor. Because women are doctors and time lords, too. No need to feminize it.

Me too. I finally sat down and listened to her new song today. While I still think her voice is best suited to bluegrass stuff (Her version of "Jolene" was really great), I like the new song.

Good song.

Damn it, Bob! My cronut business was making $5000 a month! Now look what you've done!

I got my tattoo at 38. Not really rebelling or conforming. I wanted to do something for myself, and the tattoo had great personal meaning in terms of independence and strength. It's not for everyone, of course. But, it was an amazing experience for me. I don't regret it.

No problem. I read quickly. I'll let you know if it's too graphic, etc. I'm not into violence porn myself. Which is why I'm glad I missed last night's Game of Thrones.
