It's so funny that you mention the messy factor. It's difficult to talk about my desire to parent in *my* way without setting forth all sorts of disclaimers about how my way isn't the one right way, blah blah blah. If I slide into feeling I need to explain that I usually go back and edit pretty severely because I need for other parents to realize that on their own, if you know what I

I think it's good for a parent to stay home if they can. I did, for 10 years (not sure if it was good for me, but it was good for them). But we never did messy finger-painting cuz I hate mess. They still turned out OK. :)

This is Deb... for some reason, your blog wouldn't accept my livejournal credentials!

I was an animal science major for my first year of college. As I was UC Davis, the ag school in CA and at the time the premiere vet school in the country. Most of the prevets majored in animal science, and a required course for the major was the freshman class, Animal Science 1.

Thanks, Paula. These questions started getting bigger for me when Maya was about 2 or 3 and I'd already started referring to our meat as "cow" (sometimes "cow meat") or "pig" but when she asked me about the lamb chops we were eating I had a heck of a time saying it was lamb. I did. We did keep eating, but, there was a definite disturbance in our whole pattern...

"So many people need for things to be right or wrong. Simple is preferred, even if it's not honest."

Yes, this definitely. I don't know how I feel about eating meat. Pigs seem wrong ... I hardly eat anything pigly, except (except!) for the very occasional strip of two of bacon. I don't eat much beef either, even though cows seem too dumb to care about ... pigs

Many thanks for the right to go over the idea, I think really regarding this and furthermore love mastering on this valuable point. In cases where promising, since get expertise, what inner most thoughts renewal the blog page that includes more deeply specifics? This can be very used for people.

Thanks serenebabe. I created my new blog just so I could leave a comment. And if the f*ckers delete this one...I will be wroth incarnate. Ten dollar word there, sorry Nancy. :)

I haven't followed any of it very closely, but from the scanning I've done, I think that sums up my concerns, too. Some of them, I suppose.

Thanks, Don. But, um, NO, I did not know that's how the photo would be seen. This is a blog my parents and professional colleagues can read (and do read). If I didn't know that my parents have already seen it, I'd pull the photo down knowing it might come across that way.

That said, I'm leaving it and will just take your comment as a flattering perspective. Thanks. :-)

My concern is different than the author's. He's mainly concerned at the contrast, and that the Charles Princes of the world get away with their shit. Well, so it has always been, so it shall always be. What concerns me is the coordinated brutality of this and other police forces, and the egregious inaccuracy with which they are reported out. I remember Villaraigosa waxing proud of his

So the tree picture is pretty sexy, from a visual objectifying male standpoint, but you knew that I'm sure. Just figured I'd round out the comment stream.

That's sort of the problem, the mostly wonderful quality... It adds to my general feeling that it's false to assume we're safe *anywhere.* What I'm trying to adapt to is the notion that this might be a place where the odds change so much that we need to move.

I'm not so sure we'll be broken into. It's Maine, so it's not "high crime" in the

Scum, all of them. You will get broken in on. That won't be fun.

Hm. Well, since you seem to be looking for liberal bias or something... not sure what you're trying to be cautious of, you might check out https://www.eff.org/ which is a site that our granola tree-hugger friend Asbestos Dust links to on his blog. They discuss the issue, too.
