It's bizarre to think of my kid off taking a boat and on a field trip to Angel Island as I sit here at my desk and work away.

Did I make a faux pas in conversation assuming that "Persian food" included Afghani?
I think the issue is that "Persian" is shorthand for "Iranian" without using the I-word. But it sure does seem to me that Afghanistan would be in what I would describe as "Persia"
- Steve and 4 other people
Huh, Google Maps seems to think Persia := Iran

I think it's kind of like how we don't call the majority of Europe, Rome. Or the area of Westward expansion of Macedon into Asia, Macedonia.

General premise was family & survival scenes over time, from prehistoric times until present day.
- Steve and 4 other people
The family was cast the same, and at scene cuts, we'd move to a new era.
- Steve and 4 other people
At the time, I swear I thought the father was played by Robin Williams, but that doesn't seem to be true.
- Steve and 4 other people
There were at least 4 or 5 eras, if I remember right.
- Steve and 4 other people
And each era change kind of continued on the themes from the previous one.
- Steve and 4 other people
It was not at all "funny" if I remember right, and showed a lot of tough times and how the family survived.

Yes, it was a bit like History of the World, but I really don't think it was a comedy -- mostly focused on family strife & survival issues over time.

"Slash is clearly a word to watch. Slash I do mean word, not punctuation mark. The emergence of a new conjunction/conjunctive adverb (let alone one stemming from a punctuation mark) is like a rare-bird sighting in the world of linguistics: an innovation in the slang of young people embedding itself as a function word in the language. This use of slash is so commonplace for students in my class that they almost forgot to mention it as a new slang word this term. That young people have integrated innovative slash into their language while barely noticing its presence is all the more reason that conjunctive slash might have staying power."

"(yes, I did use “they” as a singular right there—more on that in a future post)." Funnily enough, I just switched over from the wiki articles on gender-neutral pronouns and the singular they. It was something that I was thinking about the other day, the only other decent alternative for gender-neutral was "he/she" or "he-slash-she".
- Jimminy
And 7-11. just make me think that they're talking to Slash. Which I find funny.

See, "slash" means something totally different to me.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yeah, "slash" means something completely different to me. It's a descriptive noun and it's a verb. And it has nothing to do with grammar. Well, maybe. Conjugation, of a sort.
- Betsy #TeamMonique
These new uses are horrible. Every single one of them. And esp in online text chats, why are they writing 'slash' instead of using the slash key? <getoffmylawn>

I could say something really obnoxious about how ever since 9/11 the U.S. is in such a frenzy over "perceived threat" that we'd let a single, likely unarmed 19yr old terrorize and shut down an entire city for 24+ hours, but that would be unpatriotic, so I won't.

We are truly living in fear. I know I overreacted in terms of how much time I spent following the news, and speculating (privately) about how far-reaching this was. On the other hand, I do feel like the current level of response is appropriate in terms of number of law enforcement officers and shutting down parts of the Boston area during a manhunt for an armed and dangerous criminal who has killed at least five people.

He's a coward and a fool. Treat him as such.

At this point, he wants to jump on a boat and commit suicide, not continue to terrorize Bostonians. His "job" is done and now he's feeling the aftereffects, likely from severe depression, anxiety, etc.

"During nights when all you really want to do is lie down and shut your eyes for a few precious hours before you have to drag yourself out of bed for work the next morning, or on weekends when your friends want to hang out and you’re dying to just lay on your couch and watch TV because you’re too fatigued to even think straight—these are the times when you need to do what you enjoy most in life."

IKEA has several "levels" of stuff. Some is crappy particle board (i.e. BILLY) and others is solid wood and well constructed. Even on the "good stuff" the hardware is kinda junky, especially the drawer slides, which will almost inevitably break.

Katy, yeah, I guess the "quarter an item" is fine, but really, why not just free?

I'm not so much faulting the buyers as I'm faulting the sellers. :) Our experience is that our friends are happy to drop off huge tubs & garbage bags full of old baby clothes for free, and are happy that we're taking them off their hands.

Even BILLY lasted a lot longer than the similarly-priced shelving I got from Home Depot :)
