I heard on the news a week or so ago that about 84 cops had been killed across the US this year. I think this is horrible. I also think that cops that are cruel and mistreat perps are bad news too. I wonder what is going on in...

Phyrre It's a sad state of affairs, but 84 deaths this year, I don't think, is really that abnormal. At least, the statistics that I've found don't make it seem that alarming. I think perhaps it is because we're hearing about it so much more than normal from the...

Phyrre I concur. It's always @topffer's fault. He starts so many things! Trouble maker. But yay for finding a solution and getting a new Kindle! That's always lovely.

Phyrre I am in this classroom because I clicked a link. Also because I see peoples I know. And because I got in trouble and am hiding in shame. OK, so only the first part of that is true...and potentially the hiding part...but I have no shame! Carpe diem!...

Phyrre We don't tend to go out to the movies that often anymore, either, since we had our daughter. We subscribe to Netflix, and sometimes when we're in town we might rent Redbox for the night and have movie night in, and that works really well. I would say the best...
