I’ve been doing this playdate thing for 10 years. I’ve been at playdates where the kids never even glanced at each other, never mind actually played. I’ve sat at a playdate with a German nanny who spoke no English while I stared at my phone which had no reception for an hour and a half. By Everytown for Gun Safety. And the conversati...

8220;Did you hear the one about the black guy? 8220;Did you hear the one about the Mexican guy? 8220;Did you hear the one about the Jewish guy? I haven’t said, “Shut up. That’s wrong, and it’s racist and it’s harmful.” And I—and, in my opinion, everyone —need to start saying that. Here’s why:. Because nobody walks into a church and opens fire on people because,. That’s racist jokes’. Man Otherwise, why would people repeat them? What a world, what a world. There’s nothing funny about that. May more people...

Stuff and Junk | Can't Holder Tongue

Can't Holder Tongue. 8230;saying things I probably shouldn't…. May 11, 2010. I started cleaning my daughter’s room last night. I swore I wouldn’t do it again, but a good hour or so into it, I couldn’t remember what compelled me to start it in the first place. I’m pretty sure I had a reason. In any case, I stepped back and hoped that I wasn’t on hidden camera for the TV show Hoarders. What is it about stuff? Posted in Family Life. Laquo; The Thing. On May 11, 2010. On May 12, 2010.

The Thing | Can't Holder Tongue

https://cantholdertongue.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/the-thing

Can't Holder Tongue. 8230;saying things I probably shouldn't…. May 10, 2010. Even at my mellow, just awoken state, I knew that I didn’t want some critter running around my bedroom. The cat didn’t know where it was, so I started moving things to see underneath. Because I’m such a slob, I had some clothes on the floor and when I picked up a shirt, I saw The Thing. And it was almost too tiny to be a hampster. Posted in Family Life. Laquo; Spiders and Spinning in Spring. On May 10, 2010. On May 10, 2010.

Plenty More Books Inside: February 2011

http://plentymorebooks.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Plenty More Books Inside. A chronicle of the books I read and why. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Franklin and Eleanor: An Extraordinary Marriage. I saw this new book, by Hazel Rowley, while I was in New York, but just bought it on Kindle last month. I've long been fascinated by Eleanor, who accomplished so much in an era when women were decidedly limited in what they were "allowed" to do by society at large. She also had long-term relationships with both men and women. There's no record on whether the...

Pieces of my life: from the perspective of a 40-something mother and more. Dragons live forever, but not so the English language. In which i create a fine impression →. Homage by the cupful. April 20, 2013. Today marked the fourth running of our local marathon, billed as America’s Toughest Road Marathon. There used to be some contention about the title, but that was solved by adding another thousand or so feet of climbing onto the initial, brutal course. Last year I was on my Girlz Trip. Then I — u...

Forward Motion: A taste of Barcelona

http://forwardmotion.typepad.com/becca/2011/08/a-taste-of-barcelona.html

August 06, 2011. A taste of Barcelona. Its hard enough to get back to the drudgery of regular life after a great vacation.  Being sick just makes it that much more cruel.  We all seem to be better now, except Grace because shes indestructible and never felt sick anyway.  Alex still has a cough, but the fevers and bad stomachs and general ick feelings have passed. 0160; Meh.  I tried tapas, I tried paella, and felt like I got the idea of Spanish food, but it didnt do much for me. 0160; That was a treat.
