Cass—fwiw, I just found a beautiful, brand new upright Dyson on ebay for almost half price.
Kristin! Who did you use to clean your carpets? I am thinking of taking the plunge. And thanks, I will check out my options today.
I heard Batman's voice in my head when I read this, and cannot explain just how funny that was to me.

....now try reading it with this minor edit: "Preventing boys going gay takes constant vigilance, Jim. CONSTANT VIGILANCE, JIM!"

OMTG. I am still sleepy and gronky, and I've even had lunch! And I have theoretical plans for both tonight and tomorrow, but nothing is confirmed, and I want to cancel it all and stay in my house all weekend. So there.

Just out of curiosity, is this your ideal Batman voice, or one of the movie/tv ones?
I hear the Tick when the words Constant vigilance were used.
I have a huge list of stuff I wanted to do today. But the sinus fairy hit me in the face with a baseball bat. 1 giant latte and one cup of coffe later and that is gone - but I think it would take six pots of coffe to get me beyond the 'huh' stage.

Not that I'd thought about it until now, but it's definitely Adam West. Though I'm getting interference from the picture of Superman (as Steve Reeve) standing in front of Robin (Burt Ward, natch) and yelling this at Batman.
My mental Batman sounds like Kevin Conroy. I'm pretty sure. Early imprinting.
Not if gay is something that straight people can choose to be. Like how my blonde hair is more of a choice than not bleaching it is.
you know, the whole choice/not a choice thing? Irritating as all shit because both groups have the wrong end of the stick.
I get disappointed with the gay community running around saying, "It's biological. It's not a choice." Because the implication is that if gays could CHOOSE something, they would choose to be straight. But the it's-out-of-our-hands/biology or god made us this way excuse is just lame. In some ways, it's an insult to the people we love.
I choose Lori because she's an amazing, intelligent, funny, caring, capable, sexy, dynamic person. I choose to be in a relationship with her. I choose to love her. Love can be a choice.
And the It's-an-abomination people? Whatever. So is our current president, the war in Iraq, poverty, lack of education and a thousand other things. Frankly, I think golf is an abomination too, but if that's what you want to do, who am I to stop you?
We love what the soft animal part of us loves (to paraphrase Mary Oliver) and the abomination people? They need to get over it because they don't get to dictate that part of anyone but themselves.
Grrr...

Love can also build a bridge.
Love can do lots.

This is lovely. And true.
I miss this feeling.
