Totally random: anyone have a scale they love? I've avoided having one in the house for years and year, but it's time to get my health in order and I should probably be checking more often then when I go to the doctor...
I've never heard it referred to otherwise... ? I also say "straight porn". It's a sub-genre!
Just checking! I have all this racist language in my vocabulary that I am trying to weed out. Getting "gypped" for example. I had no idea that was a racial slur until recently.
Reminds me of the time i announced to a dinner table full of family (including my grandparents) that my friend was a scumbag!! Hahaha
Not racist. But i had no clue that it meant anything other than a friend that bailed on our plans. I was a teen.
FYI i had no idea it was "gypped". I never had to spell it out but now i see why its a racist term. Never wouldve known.
L's new favorite thing is "walk away". When I picked her up last night from daycare she put her hands on her hips and told me to walk away with the sassiest little voice.
They use this a lot at LO's school. So I'm waiting for this one ;-)
LO's newest fun word is "fish". Except he doesn't do f's well, and they come out like b's. You can imagine what it makes it sound like he's saying.
The other day one of his teachers was telling him to "stop it!" because he was trying to take the lid off the fish tank. He likes to talk back, so apparently he turned to her, and said sternly, "Stop it fish!".
I die. Fortunately they realized what he really meant. For a minute they were very curious about the language used in our house ;-)

Oh my god I have GOT to stop reading the news. I just can't handle it. It's too much. I compulsively click and it's nothing but horrible thing after horrible, horrible thing. I want to hide in a hole.
People are already talking about raiding Target for sales.
The body is still warm you monsters!
*sniff*
I'll be there.
Why did target fail?
Dumb consumers?
Target did open up the first couple of stores too early and they probably made a mistake by opening up their new locations in old Zellers without many renovations. Zellers was a super discount chain that had fallen into some major hard times. So the chosen locations weren't always the best.
Besides that people are just whiny. They complained that prices weren't as cheap as they were in the states, they didn't have the same products as in the states, sometimes they were out of things and sometimes people saw empty shelves. There may have been issues in the supply chain but I never saw any product that they were continually out of.
Which describes every store in the history of existence. The mass majority also didn't seem to understand that Target, while a competitor of Wal-Mart, it is not intended to undercut Wal-Mart. I think they were expecting price wars or something.
Debating on taking a day off to keep up with all three places. So not being super productive today. And gonna miss a lot tonight while out to dinner with my dad and brother. They are meeting basically for the first time as my brother was 3.5 the last time our Dad saw him
So i found one thing that i dont like about the new pie shop... I wish the reply box was already there. I had the added step of having to hit "reply to topic" first.
