I have to say, I hate those people who recline instantly. To me there is little enough space, taking someone else's is rude. I feel the reason for the recline is for sleeping, so in red eyes or other night time flights I have no problem with people reclining to sleep. Other times it gets on my nerves.
As for the people behind , they were out of line. You can look up where that route is if you want to avoid it; if you don't it's your own fault so suck it up and plan better next time.
Wow. Unbelievable. How on earth is there any objective measure of beauty?? That's like saying, "skinny is beautiful objectively." Um, no. In our culture today? Sure. But not everywhere at all times. That's just basic.
Ignorance is obnoxious.
You looked great! And I love it, no cat calls :-P I must say, I HATE mini-vans...not because of their reputation (I am so uncool I have just given up) but because they feel so claustrophobic to me. Yet I would like several children. So we will see where my own battle leads me... *crosses fingers for 6-door sedan*
I know many of said it, but I agree that it is a neighborly thing to do to share the cost of the fence. However, thus, you should both have a say in what happens. I would offer a compromise, you'll split the cost of replacing the fence in-kind (they are free to upgrade from there, but since you don't care why should you pay the upgrade?) and/or you are recovering from the cost of other home disasters right now, but in 6 months/a year/whenever you think you'd be ready you'd be happy to split the cost with them. That seems completely reasonable to me.
Also, wow. WOW. That is one happy guy!! :-D
Oh my gosh, daycare ropes, brilliant! Must keep this in mind! It somehow seems like it would get less condemnation than leashing your kids, and yet works just as well! Also, all hail the scantron. Essays are for middle of the semester when you can take your time grading :-)
These movies always confuse me. I get that you cannot spread HIV through casual contact like hugging or sharing drinks. But what about if a kid runs, falls, cuts their head, and is bleeding all over the place? Is it transmittable? Does the stat that HIV has never been spread in causal familial contact include cases like that? It just seems like there is a gap left between sex/birth/needle-sharing and hugging, and in that gap you might have fluids intermingling (multiple injured kids, for example). What about those cases? They seem to be ignored, to me, and I'm curious to know the correct info!
PS Did you make a rally sign? You know, one like, "I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler"? Or maybe, "One of us or perhaps neither of us may be right."? Ah, good stuff
That is SO AWESOME!!! I am jealous!!! I wish I was going..but I'm cheap :P I expect a great blog post on it tomorrow! Or Sunday. Or, you know, whenever you get to it.
And dang, girl, you've got yourself an awesome husband, there! :-D
Have fun!!
Thanks for the non-stop itching. As if the fleas at my house weren't enough. *shudders*
