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.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

NB: That high school boyfriend also took cars for joyrides and stole car radios, so all the bad stuff was not beat out of him.

I just checked my bank balance, and now I'm double checking all my bills, because there was more than I expected and I'm sure that means I missed something. But there doesn't seem to be. It's sad when doing well is a source of stress.
