Yes. Church-sponsored daycare... for anybody... for free... everywhere. Just fork over that giant art collection and dump the pageantry, pope dude. (Except, hire pros to run the daycares. Don't use priests.)

Is the filter hard to clean?

Ever tried to "share" a bed with a Labrador Retriever? It's just like this! Totally a dog. *raises eyebrow*

Umm... science fiction... I think by Judith Moffett... long time ago now!

Your phrase makes me remember a book discussion I attended years ago. One part of the book had the female protagonist suffering through a nasty period in graphic detail. A male attendee of the discussion blurted out, "Well, but periods just aren't like that!" In UNISON every woman there deathglared him and shouted…

AAAH!

Yep, yep, yep. My passion is Middle Eastern dance and when there's going to be a "bellydancer" on a local news show we all hold our breaths: how bad will it be? Because it might be anybody who decided to put on a lot of jingly things and convinced them to put her on. It's so seldom that our dance is treated seriously…

I believe the most common creative use of lego is when you leave them on the floor to deter barefoot burglars.

I was hanging out with a group of people at an event who suggested we all go to dinner... but they all agreed not to ask Miss X along. Miss X is the worst person in the world to go to a meal with because she'll get to a restaurant, look over the whole menu, decide there's "nothing here I can eat!" and insist everyone…

All this stuff drives me NUTS. If I lean back in my chair to help my back and hips, my angle on the keyboard is wrong and them my wrists and elbows ache. If I sit up straight to use the keyboard I need a wrist rest. This pushes the keyboard further away, so now I am leaning over it. The standing desk option here at…

*looks down sadly at the coffee drip on today's white shirt, nods*

I must object. Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk" would have been better.

Don't you want to know what his wife had to say about this when he got home?

Hey, the Madison Crime blotter has been much more entertaining since DeSpain started writing incidents. From an incident involving a fight: " It was not clear why the young men were having a dispute. During the melee, witnesses said a second vehicle also drove quickly at some fighters. It missed, but did collide with…

Self just is full of angst. "Am I a fitness magazine?" it ponders, late at night. "Or am I really a fashion mag?" The next day it goes on to publish Spring's Hottest Accessories Trend: Racing Stripes.

All of my women friends say they are low on sleep too. I'm tempted to have them all over for an evening of napping.

Absolutely true. The thing that's particularly weird about this is that one of the best ways to reduce FAS (per the CDC, IIRC) is community-based education efforts... that include contraception counseling. Not sure why he thinks govt. money should be spent on this silly idea instead of that.

Oh, this ties right in with the FB post I just saw: The American Cancer Society KNOWS how to cure cancer but they are covering it up because otherwise they would all lose their jobs! *headdesk*

*looks at bottle of agave syrup glumly* Thanks!

So, is this what's in agave syrup? (since you obviously know some things!)
