Do all of the adults in your world strive to sound like really, really grown-up twelve-year-olds?

Keep trying, dear. You'll get your audience back yet.

And when you can work a modicum of wit back into your condescension you might also regain yours.

No, that's off. He has not pandered to them, and that's been his savings grace. But now he's fucked it up. Maybe his geezuz will save him now, but his base won't.

I think that you meant "He had not pandered to them"

You've got your thesaurus out again, don't you?

(No, that's not a pet dinosaur.)

I've got no cock in this fight, but this post is what ironic is, right?

So what you're saying is that you're happy to see her?

No shit, Sherlock.

And now, once I can no longer support him this close to an election, our trustworthy Dems bring us . . . Kerry.

John Fucking Kerry.

Effing dysfunctional druggie twits.

What, have I, like, insulted your daughter or something? (Yeah, yeah, I get it. No, it's not a frog . . . )

(Vapid valley girlz bore me. And, apparently, most everyone else.)

I was discussing something with a friend today* and was told that this friend and em's spouse annually take week long separate vacations. They also take vacations together. Both are high-powered lawyers in a relatively large urban center.

I was surprised by this. My surprise caused my friend surprise. Hence, we thought that we'd submit this to the arbiters of all that is normal.

This is a 3 part poll.

1. Do you and your spouse take separate vacations? If yes, for weekends or longer?
2. Do you have kid(s)? If yes, do(es) the kid(s) go on the separate vacations?
3. Does your spouse work outside of the home?

In the tradition of Chef, I'll answer my own poll.

1. We will each occasionally go away for a night or 2. She goes to church retreats generally. I go boozing with my friends.
2. Yes. No they do not.
3. My spouse is a homemaker.

I don't see my family often enough because of work which is why the concept of a separate vacation was odd to me.






*We all know that this means that I was IMing with someone who I've never met in real life, right?

1. Not usually. Occasional weekend trips to do things with out of town friends separately (or weekend trips that would be together but for some scheduling issue).
2. No kids.
3. SO is also a lawyer.

I have some friends who do some separate vacations (no kids there either, but a lot of disposable income and different likes -- his separate vacations are typically to heli-ski; I'm not sure what she does during her separate trips, but I think they are for bonding time with sisters/girlfriends) and some together vacations. I think that it can be fine to do occasionally, but I would think it odd I guess if the couples only took separate vacations.

Just to prove that I have no cock in this fight, I note that she chose to contest geography and not vapidness. Strategically poor move from where Statler and I sit.

Who are the druggie twits? Are these twits druggies because they are currently using drugs, or because they did at some time in the past?

Oh, and a lady called me hon on the phone today. Is that just an old lady thing or what?

Was she from Baltimore? 'Cause around here everybody gets called hon, whether you're the kid who delivers papers or the President. It's just the way it is.
