Thank you for this thread. Just thank you. I’m gonna go get out my Buffy DVD’s now. :)

Is it the “on the bridge” part that makes you think it’s more serious or the “108 in a 45?” You’re comment makes it seem like the former, to which I would answer that I have driven over that bridge many times at night. It was pretty much deserted, relatively straight and wide. If you’re not dodging cars, I don’t see…

You too? I read these religiously. I yearn to be like you in your cleanliness. I've always been a decent organizer, but cleaning escapes me. :/

Monogrammed Thermoses for everyone!! Lol

Beautifully said, Dobby. If only I could gift you a sock.

I was at a summer camp when the 6th book was released. We played Quidditch. I had a lengthy conversation with one of those “weirdos” and walked away shaking with laughter at her reasons for not reading it, thus refusing to participate in our match. She got super offended and started to come at me, I calmly explained…

Or he’d post of picture of the monogrammed thermoses that he is giving his staff for the holiday :)

Thank you! I knew about the changes, but was looking for a rundown of everything.

ALL OF THIS!!!

Just google Colin Pinkham Twitter and it will come up. BCO is moving to wonkette.

There’s a major difference in school discipline (or lack of) now.

I don’t get the hate you’re getting. I read for hours on end. Or worked on suduko or other word puzzlers. After I had my MP3 it was over. You couldn't reach me at all even over a 30 minute bus ride to our basketball games.

I believe you 100%, I was really just reacting to finding out 2 of my faves are gone, (and FYI, you’re among my faves as well! I’m glad you’re still here) And since finding out that even more people I like are gone as well.

Never meant to judge you personally, however I am judging the general goings on at GawkerMedia. I apologize for my actions.

That's around my age. I have many friends from all over that went to Catholic school and they all matched my experience of never seeing that and not being taught by more than maybe 2 nuns in elementary. The more you know...

Priests weren't always priests. Lol. I know quite a few that were definitely not celibate their entire lives. Remember premarital sex can be forgiven through Confession.

So it’s okay for you to make a joke, but it’s not okay for anyone else. Gotcha.

I agree with you about religious teaching. Just felt that I should point out that what you described was not happening in the schools, at least the ones I’ve attended and taught at.

Are we sister’s? My dad’s story is eerily similar. lol.

Taught in Catholic school. Including science. The first is simply bullshit. We discussed evolution and the age of earth. That teaching is MUCH more fundamentalist than Catholic. Same could be said for the second. That was NEVER said at the schools I worked at (there were several). And it’s also not the teaching of the…
