Tales From Janet Land

You're always so understanding when I need to take a break because the "real world" is calling...so I'll give it right back.We'll all be ready for you when you're ready for us.

AJ, this might be my most favorite post of yours, yet. You're right... sometimes it is the most terrible of things that make people stand up (and together!) to fight for what is right. Use that.And encourage other people to use that anger as a motivation, too.

"Democracy to approve discrimination"...well put. Unfortunately.

One of the first things my Dad ever taught me was that as long as someone or a group of someones were kept separate, they were kept down. And that was my first introduction (and a lasting one!)to the idea of unity.A gay, American male (or female) I am not...but I stand behind all of you.

I hope that the suggestion survives, too! That is such an awesome idea and a great way to help the young people who frequent the library. You know the saying about idle hands or whatever (I think I was too busy twiddling my thumbs when my mom told me that one...).

That was very cute!I think my son could have written the same kind of thing...I'm pretty slow when it comes to the morning diaper change and ba-ba refill.

Told you I'd send you some!

No worries...I have the memories, after all. And I know you're not keen on posting a picture of yourself.

Thank you for sharing this, Stu.

I don't think I've ever heard of a scared fish. But then, what do I know?

Yep, I'm definitely sh*t, f*cking scared of iguanas now.

See? Lots to stalk!

I miss that rubber band tongue, though.

I'll drink to that!

I think everyone else about summed it up.When you're ready to talk face to face with someone, you'll do it. Don't forget how far you've come, Gee. And how proud of you we all are.

I'm glad that Kevin is finally getting the help that he has needed.

Me, too!

My mother is a nurse...has been for over thirty years now...she has become desensitized to the realities of her work (like being able to remove the breast of my father's sister)but even she still has moments.

I'm with Annie...

That could also be snorkeling in Ontario!
