Those are very cool dresses, if completely unwearable!
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Thanks all -- it is most gratefully appreciated.

Because books.
Belated hairpats, Theo!
msbelle, do the teachers expect the kids to fill in their assignment books on their own (as in, not all at one time, together)? If so, you might have to actually ask for a conference to discuss them checking it daily to make sure work is written down. We had to do that with Jake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It’s rare to see a cat walking around Midtown Manhattan, but the cat from Scott’s Flowers on W 37th can often been seen on the sidewalk, hanging out and chasing pigeons.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So Andrew Shirvell, the Michigan Assistant Attorney General that was stalking and slandering the current U of M student body president who is openely gay, was fired today. Now, of course, there is an uproar about how people cannot be fire for free speech! IT'S AGAINST THE LAWS!!
Are people, in general, just really that ... dumb? Do they really beleive that you can go out and be a giant prick fuckass bigot and that the First Ammendment will protect your JOB? Even if you being a giant prock fuckass bigot REFLECTS ON YOUR EMPLOYER?
Really? People think that?? Lots of them?
I weep for ... everything and everyone.

Interrupting Aims's understandable outrage to say you have email, lady.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yes. They think freedom of speech also protects conservative commentators from losing their jobs as well and Rush Limbaugh's right to buy a football team.

Yeah, just like it's "free speech" for a pharmacist to deny birth control to his patients for religious reasons.

Shirvell also appeared on a segment of the Daily Show -- he reminded me very much of that judge who was suing a teeny family-owned dry cleaning store for losing his pants. IOW, clueless to how this appeared to anyone else.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Amy, they write homework and in-class tasks up on the board during each session to be written in the assignment books. Mac's often comes home empty, and I have commented on it. I have a conference with them on the 11th. And I get them not wanting to have to check a kid's book, they are trying to teach responsibility, mac is failing that lesson.
