the organ donation industry is a vulture business taking for free what they charge the recipients for. to include the donor in the gravy train is nothing more than simple human decency.

When does Jax start at big school? September 2nd - day after Labor Day.
Right now I'm waiting for 9am to come around so I can call the school district office - I requested a school change a month ago and have not heard back from them. I want her to go to the school in the 'attendance district' where the day care is as opposed to the one in the 'attendance district' where we live. If I don't get that change I will be totally unable to get a job because I would have to provide the transportation to and from daycare.

I don't think they actually chewed the lady bugs. I think they just swallowed them. Bugs are 80 percent protein; red meat is a mere 20 percent protein.
Lady bugs are mildly toxic? They flights probably didn't eat enough of them to get ill, I'm sure. It was boys and girls playing survival. Or is that young men and women?

the way i see it is if you need a book or some "expert" to tell you how to raise your kid, you gots problems! And so will the kid...........
OTOH I've got a bunch of people on another board, specifically 2 Canadians telling me I am a child abuser and a hypocrite and they expect child protective services to be showing up at my door anyday to remove my child from my care.
Because I smoke I am an unfit mother - the daughter of one of them is supposedly a child services worker and said so.

From Friday's thread (posted on Sunday):
We were pronouncing the QB's name as Boo-TAY'. I can't remember what movie that was from - all the aliens had the first name of John and the strangest one was John Big Boo-Tay. That was from The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai: Across the 8th Dimension.
![](http://www.classicsondvd.com/buckaroo.jpg)
Here's a review from Amazon:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension is one of the most agreeably insane movies ever made. Peter Weller stars as Buckaroo, an acclaimed neurosurgeon, particle physicist, and, of course, rock star. He travels with the Hong Kong Cavaliers, a band of hard-rocking scientists who are also really good dressers. Buckaroo's interdimensional experiments with his Operation Overthruster throw him (and the Earth) straight into the middle of an alien war, and before you know it, he's got just a few hours to save the world. Confused? Hang on, we're only 10 minutes into the movie. Buckaroo Banzai hurls you right into the middle of its comic-book universe and keeps going at a breakneck pace. It's chock-full of overlapping jokes (even as we're trying to make sense of Dr. Lizardo's hospital room, a voice calmly announces that "lithium is no longer available on credit" over the PA system), hilarious throwaway dialogue ("You're like Jerry Lewis: you give me hope to carry on."), and weirdness just for the sheer joy of it ("Why is there a watermelon there?" "I'll tell you later."). You'll want to watch it at least twice--there's just no way to catch everything the first time around. Ellen Barkin has a terrific time doing a dead-on film noir moll parody as Penny Priddy, and John Lithgow turns in a brilliant manic performance as Dr. Lizardo/John Whorfin. There is no reason not to own this movie unless you are cold and dead inside. Laugh while you can, Monkey Boys. --Ali Davis
If I rememeber correctly, the part of John Bigbooty (Big-boo-TAY) was played by Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown from BTTF, and Reverend Jim from "Taxi").

I just looked at the newspaper this morning, and noticed your temps were 95. Sorry. 111 is hot! Stay cool, Miss Rika.
Drink lotsa water. It's a bummer not putting Scotch in my water though. Just doesn't taste right!
