Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am happy to report that today I have not dealt with either public masturbation at my workplace or my child typing obscenities into powerpoint presentations at school!
A banner day!
I'm pretty sure I won the LDB game last weekend because I really like that song!
Wow, they are exhibiting the Shah's collection of western art in Tehran: [link]
Ugh. Another mass shooting. This one is in San Bernardino.
That art exhibit sounds amazing. How cool.
I just don't have it in me to react to another shooting. It's awful, that's all I've got.
msbelle, I don't remember, does mac have a physical outlet for his anger? Karate helped one of my nephews--and my EXTREMELY tightly-wound brother was helped a lot by hockey. A LOT.
My family has been expressing concern about my upcoming travels because of recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels.
On the way to the airport, we drove past a farm with semi trailers parked in a field with slogans blaming Obama for the national debt and condemning Planned Parenthood for harvesting baby parts.
I did not bring up the fact that I'm more likely to be shot here in the good ol' USA by the white dudes who parked those trailers.
Yup.
I can hear one of my coworkers humming LDM. Not counting it.
does mac have a physical outlet for his anger
People forget that boys are very physical, and young men need something they can test themselves against. I've seen the SCA help a lot of angry young men find something productive to do with their emotions and energy, but some people see our fighting and get outraged that we're promoting violence. It's one reason Hubby became a firefighter, he needed to be in a high-stakes battle with a powerful foe, and modern society doesn't give people much chance for that.
I'm not willing to assign this to a whole gender, but my high school boyfriend went from football practice to boxing after school. He joined the Marines after.
Mac has no physical activity at the moment. He refuses. Karate was the last thing we did and he fought me on going and was lackluster there and I could not justify the expense any more. Next semester he might be in track at school.
I'm sorry, msbelle.
