I got no idea. Sounds like pretty, ah, 'creative' charges on the part of the prosecution.

Good rule of thumb: Anyone willing to stick their face into hairy bits of my body gets to voice an opinion about said hair.

I know! I was at a space shuttle launch once, and I definitely wanted to watch. I also had my camera, so I held it up at about chest level, pointed it in the vague direction of the shuttle, and took pictures as fast as I could. I watched the launch and STILL got a couple of pretty bad-ass pictures.

I'm still not getting what criminal act she was actually charged with. The 10-20-Life explanation is in the context of using a gun to commit a crime. I understand the reasoning behind extra strict sentences if a gun is involved in committing a crime, but what was the crime? People shoot guns. Sometimes at paper…

Okay, here's my next question: What crime was she actually charged for? 'Cause while I understand that firing a gun while committing a crime is considered extra bad, I'm not sure why firing a gun at nothing is a crime in and of itself.

Maybe if she had shot him dead she'd have been acquitted?

Men don't need cuddling? I must have got a defective one.

Last time I saw a discussion on ravelry about apps the only ones that looked really good to me were paid. I'm kind of cheap. Actually, what I would really like to have is a ravelry mobile site. Basically, I'd like a more portable way to deal with tracking projects and yarn.

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't had kids, but if you take median household income and typical costs for an *uncomplicated* delivery and you're already around 20%.

Y'know, there isn't really a great free knitting app out there yet. At least not that I've found.

I'm pretty sure my dad's been calling those "quarter shorts" for about 40 years. I.e., "a quarter of your butt is showing". This is not a new thing.

The problem is that word "value". We're still seen as commodities, not people, by these meatsacks.

Hugs, indeed.

He hasn't figured out that he can put a piece of used toilet paper in the toilet?

You can color-coordinate, too! Black and orange for Halloween! Red and green for Christmas! The (clean, please) ones you aren't using can be used to festively decorate wine bottles!

It's really works on the angle it takes; at least fairly well-off (my family) socially isolated (yup, me) very white (me) young girl/women (me) is a lot more ignorant than she thinks and gets a much-needed crash course in the way the world really works and how to really be a decent person, etc. Gee, I wonder if I'm…

They are out today. If I knew how I'd be posting that "TROOOLL IN THE DUNGEON!" gif everywhere.

Congratulations, you've discovered something that most of the footwear industry has yet to figure out!

I got the wheel and a tabletop loom, but I haven't had time to figure out the loom yet. Knitting is great because I can knit in class.

I'm also thinking that you could put in somewhere, like the inside of the arm, where it's less conspicuous but still easy to find.
