My son’s school received similar instructions. The gut punch for me was that if the gunman was in the classroom, the kids would all die. I took it as the police didn’t want the kids’ last moments to be full of fear. It is horrific.

You were not. Every Olympics, I hope that the ceremony coverage will improve and I am always disappointed.

My 10 year old son stood up and walked away because the half hour of commentary was so dull.

Black Bomber cheese is wonderful.

I’m with you. I ‘m 48 and I do not understand how these women are justifying this stuff. No one should be touched unless they want to be. Acquiescence due to coercion, abuse of power, threats, manipulation and intimidation do not equal consent. It really isn’t that hard.

As someone in her twenties at the time, I think what it did was plant the seeds that this is not okay in my head. I honestly grew up thinking that this behavior is just something men do. But after Anita Hill, I realized that it was not okay. At all.

I noticed the same thing, but I am honestly heartened by it. Because it is real, it isn’t some imaginary problem and it happens to most women and we are talking about it.

Yup. I never got over his casual dismissal of her death in the final episode. Xander was never good enough for any of them.

I genuinely wish I could give you more stars. Everything you said is true.

As noted above. Yes. Both merit badges existed by 1973.

You would be wrong. Textile and Theater are clearly on the list. http://www.scouting.org/meritbadges.aspx

He has been a remarkably comforting voice on Facebook: calm, measured, thoughtful, and unflinchingly calling out the horrible things put forth by the current administration. He was frankly a voice of reason and comfort in the days following the election blast November. I absolutely recommend following him on facebook.

I miss the Vane too.

Ditto. That family had toddlers.

Me too. Nothing wrong with Holly Hobbie.

Oh wow. I just posted about that episode above. That show-and episode-elevated my respect for him, and I liked him before.

Noooooo

Agreed. Vern was brilliant and fantastic. Genevieve was just a super nice person.

I’ll be honest and say I loved Frank and most of his designs. I would pick Vern over everyone, because I loved everything he did. Frank and Genevieve we tied for second, and Doug was a distant third because I liked his more sane rooms. Doug did a show called Moving Up later and I will never forget the shaming he put…

I thought she used staples.
