Re: Rant of the Day
I'm always annoyed at how many students drop my class after the first day. I don't think it is higher (or lower) than average, but still -- why did I spend time trying to learn your name? Why did I waste so much time telling you what the class was about? The only classes of mine that can be "d...

Re: Question #90281 -- things you mix up that others don't
Not exactly the same thing, but I mix up my "r" and "l" sounds in ways that most American English speakers don't. I blame it on the two years I spent in Uganda, where the two sounds *are* pretty much interchangeable--it could be really entertaining, for example, to hear a speaker...

So many of my friends work for so many of them that I don't even know.

Re: Rant of the Day
This is a really minor one, but. When you're reading someone's facebook post about how she's struggling right now because their new baby doesn't sleep, and you think it's going to be a refreshingly honest post about motherhood..... ....aaaaaand then it turns into a sales pitch for the pyramid-scheme...

Frere's answer about why we (probably) aren't about to die in a nuclear war with North Korea--nice work! I didn't read all the links, but I read a couple, and I feel like I have a better handle on what's going on and why we (probably) aren't all going to die.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
My spring break, my husband's spring break, and my best friend's husband's spring break are all the same week this year! JoJo (the only one of the four of us who doesn't work for a school or college) can probably get some time off then also, so the four of us are going to go stay in her husband's fa...

Re: First piece of news you remember
Shrinky Dink's story reminded me of the time (probably about fourth grade) when I asked my mom what abortion was. She wouldn't answer me, but told me to look it up for myself in the dictionary. I looked in the dictionary, and it defined abortion as the termination of a fetus. I didn't know what fet...

Re: First piece of news you remember
I have vague memories of the 92 election (I was in kindergarten). I remember the Oklahoma City bombing in 95 well, though. At first I was just grumpy because Animaniacs was interrupted by a news bulletin, but then a few days later I saw in the headline of the newspaper that over a hundred people had...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Heat/AC seem to be a pretty universal source of roommate disagreements. Can you get a window unit for your room without freezing other people out?

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Ugh, last night I slept in my new place for the first time. It's a townhouse with bedrooms upstairs and it was HOT. I have stuff sort of blocking the vent from getting much air circulated, so I sorta expected it to be a little too warm, but not like 80+ degrees. I came downstairs this morning and t...

Kinda removes the teeth from that threat then, huh?
(Is that a saying? I feel like that's a saying, or close to it, but I can't remember it exactly. Migraine postdrone is real, y'all!)
