Re: The Mass Shootings Thread
I work for a police department in a wealthy suburban community in Michigan. I just got a call from a man worried about how well prepared we are for a school shooting because his children are Christians and he's afraid they'll be targeted. No one is concerned about the dozens of pistol purchases we r...

It takes more than that to get banned but it would definitely result in some memes starring Minnie Pearl or pearl necklaces (likely both types knowing that crowd) or some such thing.A_B wrote:That kind of ignorance would get you banned I bet.howard wrote:"Knit one, pearl two, or K2P1. Discuss."

Re: Your Various Message Board Posting Stats
Actually very little knitting and a whole lot of everything else. The site has millions of users; the board I spend most of my time on has almost 15,000. Actual Knitting Content gets flagged as such and usually revolves around fixing errors, fitting issues, yarn and pattern selection, and bragging a...

Re: Your Various Message Board Posting Stats
Obviously I haven't be around here in a while, so my posting here is nonexistent. I've always been more of a lurker anyhow. I post the most on a knitting related board. I'm pretty damn cool like that. I'm currently making my mom a shawl to wear to her Breeder's Cup party at the end of the month. Woo...

Re: Godless III - Completing The Trinity
I am, in truth, a woman: divorced, remarried, mother of 6, Tiger fan, and eternal optimist. Also,I miss the days when 'female' was used primarily as an adjective and not a noun.

They can't just stop in one of the closer countries for a while and then move on to a country like Germany that is more welcoming either. The agreement they are bound to (the Dublin Convention) requires that an asylum seeker is bound to the first country in which they seek asylum. Once they register...

Re: Studying Abroad
Depends a lot on your daughter too. My 17 year old daughter? I wouldn't send her to Canada to live with a family for 8 weeks. My older son I would have been able to send anywhere at 16. Of my younger kids, I think 2/4 of them would be able to handle it when they reach that age.

Two and a half; I made it that far only because I was listening while driving home from work so I couldn't stop it until I was in my driveway.

Fear isn't grabbing me so far. I've never liked the actress in the lead part and I'm still not liking her. The junkie kid is the only character I give a damn about so far, and that might be only because he reminds me of Benny and Joon era Johnny Depp. I'll keep watching for now, but I'm not too opti...

Lester did not shine tonight. Perhaps he's spent so much time practicing his throw to first he's forgotten how to effectively throw to the plate.

Dombrowski in Boston is reeeeeeeally interesting given his predilection for big names and unconventional trade targets. I'm just glad my Boston fan coworker has to eat all the insults she's flung at Dombrowski in order to properly fawn at every decision the Red Sox organization makes. Oh, and hello...
