Know what’s awful? OK, I realise that sort of a question has plenty of potential answers, but what’s awful today, over here, is when my kid wakes up screaming bloody murder and can only say "Ear! Ear! Ear!"
Of course, it’s too late to get him to the doctor today, so we do some tylenol and wait for our morning appointment. Long night, anyone? Really, I’ll be up-feel free to call, email, whatever.
So anyway, let’s do one of these link-a-rama posts, shall we?
Now That Summer’s Over, here’s some good information about fixing your air-conditioner.
Autistic kid tased by cops, but after reading the article about how he was trying to run away from the forced therapy session his parents were imposing on him against his will, I’ve come to the conclusion the parents should be the ones tased. Hard to tell which human rights abuse is worse, the involuntary psychiatric treatment or the taser.
The top 50 dystopian movies of all time. This is a fun list filled with movies you completely forgot about.
Why move into a real neighbourhood with diversity and stuff when you can move to fucking Stepford. I’m sorry, this not only gives me the creeps, it pisses me off.
Disclosure-we adopted our dog from a no-kill shelter in MA that rescued him from Puerto Rico. Here’s a couple of stories about the stray dog problem there. Here-objections to the shelters shipping in dogs from Puerto Rico, and Here, an example of what dogs in Puerto Rico face.
Marguerite Patten interview (and recipe). I love, love, love her. The fact that after all these years she still calls herself a "home economist", rather than take the title "chef" is just so incredibly cool. It’s a great interview too.
You know, these stories about "hungry burglars" aren’t funny, or "peculiar." These are clearly people who are trying to feed themselves or their children-and based on what was taken, it sure sounds like someone trying to feed a child.
So which is it, are you left brain or right brain?
How the hell is this even legal? Cops are now authorised to draw blood from people (you know, I read stuff like this and really figure we’re so fucking far gone that there’s no point of getting out of bed anymore. Every single day it’s some new and better way to feel violated each and every second of the day).
Have a lovely weekend.
