Taco salad does sound good, and I've got lettuce to use up.

I went to work today because I have ten million things on my to do list. And for a reason I'm sure you can find on most news media sites. And I needed to buy stamps. Frickin' stamps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I really like talking to msbelle too. Now I feel pouty.

I would like to hear more about these, please.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Larb?

Is this a "what is it" question? If so, it's a Thai meat salad. Nom.

Yeah, Dana. Thank you! I couldn't tell if it was a typo for lamb or just something I'd never heard of.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Hivemind help, please.

A few of the kids from the dojo go to school with CJ. There is one boy - J - who is of similar age and size. He is a couple of ranks ahead of CJ in karate, but over the last couple of years it is CJ who has kept him from getting into fights at school.

I've know they are competitive along with being buddies, but things have taken a turn for the worse recently. J has been "jokingly" bumping into CJ, hard. Has thrown erasers at him along with pencils. CJ showed me a bloody mark on his shoulder that was the result of a pencil attack. He has shown me other marks on his body, supposedly caused by J.

I have tried to encourage CJ to talk with J directly. Or J's dad (who also takes karate). Or the teachers since this is happening at school. CJ's response is that "it won't change anything". Which, to me, is the classic response of someone who is being bullied.

Do I step in? Do I push him to confront the issue? With who? I'd rather talk with J's dad (we are buds). If CJ is the one to speak up, I'd rather see him talk with the teachers and invoke the anti-bullying rules.

In most cases, I really try to get him to fight his own battles, but he has physical marks on him and that is NOT COOL.
