“He says that out of his circle of (well-educated, well-heeled) colleagues and friends in Houston, that there are 10 who own more than 50 guns. They are preparing for some kind of onslaught (not sure what that is, end days or something) and want to protect themselves and their families. ”
Crazy much?

Other careers I have thought of:
–Toy designer, puppet maker (Kens reminded me of this)
Bad idea…highly competitive and you ALWAYS have to crazily produce or get replaced by a younger talented kid right out of a toy design program.
On the other hand, that pretty much sums up almost any non-unionized industry [running for cover].
“Lounge singer — give me a chance to wear sequinned dresses”
Having seen and heard your lounge act at Montero’s, I think this would be a seamless transition. And, oh, the thought of you in a black sequinned dress! 🙂
Yesterday conversation with friend I am having dinner with this Thursday. He is coming from Houston. He is a finance guy who grew up around Washington DC/Annapolis. Just a background. He is a kind of moderate Democrat. He says that out of his circle of (well-educated, well-heeled) colleagues and friends in Houston, that there are 10 who own more than 50 guns. They are preparing for some kind of onslaught (not sure what that is, end days or something) and want to protect themselves and their families.

“I would never engage the stepford wives on anything. I just have nothing at all to say to them. Speaking to them has zero interest for me.â€
I’m friends with lots of suburban moms – sure, they like nice clothes and nice cars, but they love their kids. You do have stuff in common with them.
Donatella, besides lotto, hot sugar daddy works too
“There was nothing worse as a kid in the ‘burbs listening to all the hype about the coming snow storm (which we didn’t know was hype because we were kids), only to wake up the next morning, counting on a snow day (and not having done our homework the night before in anticipation), and there being NOTHING!”
Nothing worse as a parent than having to drag your kid’s butt to school when she was counting on a snow day that didn’t happen. Well, nothing worse in the ordinary day to day stuff. Plenty of real worse things I’d rather not contemplate. But my kid has the right ‘tude — snow day is total windfall, so to speak, if HW is done. “It’s not like a vacation or long weekend, where the teachers know you’ve got the extra time and give you more stuff to do.”
