I've never been so scared either, but at least I have a husband.
Well crap! Have you told the missus?

I'm waiting for The High and the Mighty. But I guess I'm just whistling Dixie.

Best way to neutralize a term of hate is to co-opt it. c.f. "queer."

(I'm 51. My HS was 1/3 white, 1/3 black, 1/3 brown. The social punishment for dropping the n word was 100% understood. Never heard it, even in private, in 4 years.)

It was only a matter of time. J/M slash fiction.

For those that say "the holidays come too early"

Last Wednesday, Nov 5, they started putting up the infrastructure for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree (or "Holiday Tree" if you must...:rolleyes:)

They brought in the tree over the past weekend and now have the scaffolding in place to remove the branches that don't quite fit right and to start putting up the lights and ornaments.

The formal tree lighting ceremony is set for Wed. Dec 3, but don't worry, you can buy your tickets in advance. *

Speaking of the holidays...
Christmas stricken from school calendar

Rather than acknowledge a Muslim holiday on the school calendar, Montgomery County schools are removing all religious holiday references (Christmas, Easter, Yom Kippur) from the calendar. Seems extreme to me. I would think listing other holidays on the calendar would be good teaching opportunities. I'm the kind of person that looks at my calendar and sees British and Australian holidays and think it's interesting to know when they are and even find out what they are.

My county. Single party rule and a school board who spends money like a no limit table at Vegas.

They celebrate Christmas here an increasing then decreasing amount of intensity from late September to February. Christmas lights have been up on some homes for two weeks.
