Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

For those arguing about refugees, it may be worth pointing that Anne Frank's family tried to emigrate to both the USA and England and were turned down and denied refuge in both nations. [link] (Scroll down to "A new life in the Netherlands") Don't know if it will penetrate any brick walls, but if you want to try arguing with someone, that may be a good example to give. (And I know from Hil's experience a few days ago that the some of the worst or most fearful simply won't believe it.)

Person on FB just referred to the way some people think Christians are "enfilades".

It's like a savory version of profiteroles?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, everyone at my job can kiss my ass so hard right now. I don't even know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mmm, savory profiteroles.

Sorry, Jesse. Must pretty bad to warrant that response on a Saturday morning.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think everyone needs the holiday break. Yipes! Although in our case the holiday part is offset by the fact that the kids have a day off that DH and I need to work, so they will be having a college day I guess? One of us will let them tag along, probably me since I can, if need be, bug out after my last class.

I'm hoping I get to see sarameg this visit since I missed out last time she was here. Wheee!

Also OMG Franny! You guys! Remember how she gave that performance and how much it moved me? I decided not to post the flyer on FB since it has the names of all the kids who performed, and they are kids and I feel like I should protect them, but anyway.... So yesterday Frances brought home an art piece so she can finish it over break and I am honestly kind of blown away. Hand drawn image of girl with flowers in her hair. It looks like she drew it free hand but I am guessing she had a picture she was working from. AND she has some lovely photos, one of which I want to buy as a large print so she can hang it because it's so great. She's such an artist, which I knew before, but it's so wonderful to see what she creates.
