My university sent out an email saying that a former employee had made non-specific threats against the university community. A judge ordered him to stay off campus, and the email included his picture and description and told us to call the police if we see him.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am irritated by someone who wants to be a part of our nanny share (and who probably will be). I think she should be sucking up a bit - she won't be able to contribute house-space, she's going to start an hour earlier than anyone else so she'll encroach on my DH's morning, etc. - and she's not. Instead, she called and said she was going to join the share as if it was a done deal, and that she wanted to come over and see my house to make sure I wasn't a hoarder or anything like that. Ha, ha, ha. Oh, and meet the other share parents, too, of course.
Also, if flea is still around: new baby name (DH's cousin had a little girl yesterday) Elizabeth Maebelle [Mizrahi Jewish Name Not the Same as my DH's]. I dunno what they're going to call her.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The "green" development at the end of my street apparently had a bomb threat yesterday morning. Dear dumbass but well-intentioned lefty freegan types - if there were an actual bomb, which there wasn't, those damn towers falling would destroy at least two fucking blocks of the neighborhood you are theoretically trying to preserve.

Can't you put the kibosh on her, Sparky? She sounds like she would be most unpleasant to deal with and will probably not understand the "share" part of the nanny share.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't feel like I can do that, yet. She's coming to us via an alum of the share, and so the nanny knows and likes her. I don't really feel I have enough ammunition to mess with the nanny's livelihood at this point (we each have a contract w/ her, we don't split her cost 3 ways), but I have spoken with the nanny about how important it is that I meet her because she'll be coming into my home every day, and the nanny was completely on board. They haven't signed a contract, yet.
As my DH will tell you, I hold a grudge, so a bad first impression is tough for me to get over.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My sister and I are headed to Southern IN for a funeral. A friend's mother died suddenly this week. She's an only child and grandchild. We're going to provide some emotional support.
A member of my moms group just had her baby. She named him Dean Jensen. I think that name would be appreciated.
