my husband is black. I am white – so when we have kids I wonder what box the kid will have to check if prompted to ask what race they are….
BXgrl suggested telling them check the box they feel they are that day. My only concern about that is then in the world of record keeping, then various agencies may have my kid listed as a diff race –
its a mixed up crazyyyyy world
Mr. Dibs, sorry for being “inciteful”. I need to watch how I phrase things and believe me am trying. I was thinking that the way one goes back and forth with Mr. What and such, first that there is a real liking between the two people. Then it seems to go the other way, and they are fighting. I think Mr. Dibs really cares about the What, then, well, now I don’t know about what is going on (small w there, not the W). Not that it is any of my business, but this is a public OT. I am wondering if the two people need referees, audience, or perhaps a mediation so they can be friends again.
Big (cracked) light bulbs going on here, but I am thinking this difference is not about N word, but something deeper and more significant.
Let’s get to “L” word and “Love one an other” (is that some song?). Less of the “L” as in “lunatic” and such words would possibly help.
Yeah btw IJester, I really enjoyed Infinite Jest as well. I read it in college, probably re-read it 2-3 times. It can put you in a very strange, ironic mood. Characters were both funny/ridiculous and emotion-evoking. Orthro Stice!
Joe, don’t forget a Plaid shirt. I brought a female friend to be my “wingwoman” but didn’t bother picking up anyone cause I was having too much time watching DH’s lady friend getting him plastered.
No joe 🙂 what do kids with biracial parents call themselves.
But i was asking you about the firefighter comment.
no joe…

haha kens – it was also waaay too hot in there and everyone appeared to be hanging in groups unfortunately.
Yeah, my friend is something else. we had 2 more shots and a beer at another bar afterwards. Sunday morning sucked.
LOL. That’s what special-lady-friends (Big Lubowski reference) are for Kens!
You mean the bourbon question Gemini/BX girl?

BXgrl- ah – that’s probably a good way to handle that question.
Maker’s is a good standby.
I like Elijah Craig Single Barrel (18 yr)
