Somehow, all this is going to be installed today by two guys. I don’t see how it’s possible: http://twitpic.com/1c7ebu
srkonearth Sitting around in the dark is a very fitting way to celebrate ideas that place Earth-worship above human advancement. Have fun! #earthhour
Carnage4Life When cashiers ask me for my phone number before I can pay, I now respond “Sorry, I’m not single” - shuts ‘em right up

@shlevy As they get older, we will reexamine the appropriateness of the rules and eliminate those that don’t apply.
@shlevy If we discipline them with a timeout or being sent to their rooms, it is not a negotiation.
@shlevy We have rules around the house. Their agreement or disagreement with the rules is irrelevant to me.
@shlevy It depends on what we’re disagreeing about and how old (therefore the level of rationality) they are.
@shlevy Ultimately, yes. Practically, it starts out constant and gradually they become more and more autonomous over time.
@shlevy Ideally, you earn their trust and respect by explaining your actions, evaluations, and discipline.
@shlevy You have the responsibility of raising them. They must come to understand that your judgment is supreme for that reason.
@shlevy Doing what I ask you to do is a matter of respecting my authority. It’s not entirely the same but they’re closely related.
@shlevy I think obedience (ie respect) is a value in children, but blind obedience isn’t. I’ve spanked when necessary, but as a last resort.

@asocialcontract I like it. It’s very clean.

@kellyelmore79 I’ve worn shorts and a t-shirt (except on rainy days when I switch to pants) every day all winter. #phoenixrocks

Watched “first two” episodes of The Prisoner. I’ve seen enough; it just doesn’t do it for me.
Third try at watching The Prisoner. I think I’ll get through the first episode.i think the key is to start it *before* midnight.
Tron Legacy looks incredible. But 12/17/2010!?! I can’t wait that long, fer cryin’ out loud.
This Ayn-Rand-as-fan-of-serial-killer meme reeks of desperation. The context in her journal is just so clear that the dishonesty is blatant.
@_n I’ve seen her, too. And I thought the exactly same thing. Also, picturing a world where “Hey, the K-Y lady’s here” is a real statement.
Payday with two bonuses is great but sorely tempered by the tax sodomization that accompanies it. THAT’S WITH EIGHT EXEMPTIONS!?!
