And they have a krumper who has managed to rock every style he's been given, which amazes me!!

Season 6 is lacking the good choreography. But the individual dancers are pretty amazing.
My fav-- addiciton.

This time it's a comparison of Clytemnestra and Monica from Augustine's Confessions. And motherhood. And stuff.

On the other hand I think it's great that your boss is willing to hire someone who just got out of prison.

See that is where my guilt comes in. Theoretically he is rehabilitated and everyone deserves a second chance but something is not sitting right when I met him/spoke to him.
I guess the main problem is my boss is the owner and a few years ago I have having issues with a new guy (saying way inappropriate sexual stuff, even in front of boss) and when I told boss he didn't do anything and I had to go to someone else who made sure the guy was gone by the time he was back from lunch.
I just don't feel like if something comes up he will have my back.

I'm starting to think I have a problem with this word. Specifically, when this word is used to refer not to feminine faux-hygiene but to immature, loserly men.
I admit it rolls off the tongue, and early on, I tested it out. But I can't get past the significance of using woman-related terms to denigrate men. (For the record, I feel the same about "pussy," but it's less au courant.)
I see a lot of us using it on here in our comments. Am I alone in my issues with this? Harmless or not? What say you?

I think it fits quite well.
I don't like pussy, though. I mean, I love pussy. But I don't like when it's used as an insult. Because all biological ladies have at least one, and they are incapable of having any personal characteristics. Except for Megan Fox's... which is apparently strong, and can talk.
For the rest of us, it's like saying "hey bro, don't be such an elbow!"
"yo, he's right, you're always bending, and keeping things together, and knocking into stuff, you're a total elbow, dude."

If only we could sub "elbow" for "pussy." It's perhaps the least of the issues facing women in the States, but it never fails to upset me when I hear it. It's like using "fag." It betrays a lot about the speaker's thinking without her realizing.

My beautiful Scout :o( has been assaulted.
Went down this morning to drive to my last class of the semester before finals and there's a giant white colored dent by my back passenger side wheel well and a large white scrape all the way up the door.
Can't fix it--no money and finals to worry about. So this has basically just been a bitch session. Thanks for listening!

Thanks for the commiseration. I'm glad there wasn't severe damage. This car has to last me awhile!

Right now, I'm putting money aside every month and thinking about looking when I am up for a raise early next year-- that way, I have a little more money to work with and I know my job is safe. But my Dad is telling me that I should buy something NOW while interest rates are low and there is a tax credit for new homebuyers. I'm just not sure that I'd be able to pay a mortgage, condo fees, utilities, food, car maintenance, insurance, taxes, various healthcare fees, the small luxuries I have now (I will not give up yoga and dance classes-- they keep me sane and happy), AND be able to put some money aside for emergencies.

The tax credit is nice, but it didn't exist a few years ago, won't exist a few years hence, the world won't end, and you'll eventually buy something. The worst thing is spending money you don't have, or aren't sure you have. Do Not Do It.
So, pretty much, I'm telling you to listen to your gut.

I do think they're extending the tax credit, though, so who knows what'll be around a year from now!

Oh, but what were we actually talking about? As far as the pressure, I can see your parents' points, but YOU are the one balancing your budget each month, as you seem to be so good at, not THEM. I'd tell Dad that if he wants to front some money, you'd be happy to buy now. If not, he has to accept that you're not comfortable making such a big commitment just because the terms are favorable.
You're also very right about feeling "stuck." I LOVE my house, but I do have the sense of being tied to it, because you can really only leave if you can sell, and these days.... well, you know.
You sound like you have yourself so together, and I know you'll make the best decision for YOU.
