This is topic While the conservatives are with their SOs, I claim this board in the name of France in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.

Uh oh, conservatives, he has a flag. We could be in trouble. "No flag, no country. It's a rule I just made up."

*remembers he doesn't really drink*
*drinks it anyway, because just because he doesn't really drink doesn't mean he can't indulge once in a while*

Storm, don't make me kick your ass.

Ahhh, solace. Instead of "Books, Films, Food and American Culture" it should be "Polysexuals, Pagans, Food and Liberal Culture" because, well, Food's still great to talk about.

But are you saying France phoenetically as (rhymes with ants) or (rhymes with sconce). I mean, it makes all the difference!
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Except I'm not a man, so I don't even have a tool. Well, I have tools, but not THAT tool.

Anyhow, really, ugh it's so slow in here today. Miserable. And I'm not hungry enough to go make dinner (I'm making pesto from scratch. Mmmmmmmmm!)

Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
Sun, it goes from like scalding hot to tepidly slow. I think there's no in between, usually. Someone either ends up getting into a flame war with someone in a thread or we end up with the tsunami o' fluff.*
*Not that there's anything wrong with fluffy people of fluff! Laws, no!

I think I'm going to break down and watch a movie. A brat-pack movie, even.

Even the homosexuality thread is going slow!

I don't have an SO, so here I am, and the forum is going all weird and mushy on me.....

::: hmmmm... I'm conservative, I don't have a SO, and I'm wondering why the liberals are stereotyping/lumping all conservatives together again ::
FG
Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :
Farmgirl, I don't think we mean to be actually lumping people together. It's just that the homosexuality thread, for a little while, was a bit one-sided. Happened on another thread a few days ago, too. People just kept posting and posting, but they were all on the same side.
We're just lamenting the awfully slow nature of hatrack today.
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
I had never considered the possibility that some single people might be conservative or that some liberals might have SOs. You're absolutely right, FG. What was I thinking?
Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :
Do I not qualify as conservative in your eyes, Storm Saxon? Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
sorry, Storm, if I seemed a little "testy" in that last post. It certainly wasn't meant that way.
It's just that lately some posters (Lalo) have been painting some groups with a pretty broad brush, and it got under my skin a little. I shouldn't have to defend my right to my own individuality, and I don't like it when people assume certain things without knowing me.

You can plant the flag, but someone else owns the land.

8ish am Steve wakes up 11am I wake up. 11:30am Steve takes nap 11:30am I shower 12pm I start catching up on folding wash, and watching TV alternating between sports and home improvement as well as occasionally munching on food.
3pm Steve wakes up 3:30pm Steve Takes shower 3:30pm I take my car to the carwash.
4:30pm, Having both decided to wear nicer clothes for the day, we go on our grand adventure. A trip to Costco. 4:30 6pm At Costco. We buy a ream of paper and envelopes because we were out and some food items.

I remember those kind of days. I remember sleeping in.
My wife got up at 6 to go to the gym. She usually goes at 5, but the gym opens at 6 on Saturday. I got up at 6:45 with our 1-year old.
My wife was pleased with the big bouquet I set on the kitchen table last night, and the card I wrote. I also put crepe paper streamers on the ceiling.
I hauled off the old carpet that was sitting in our car port from our recent reflooring escapade.
We were going to get a babysitter and go hiking, but that turned into a sledding trip with the kids. Since we don't own a sled yet, we went out to buy one first. Nobody had any left. So we just went to the park and tromped around in the snow for a while.
We got stuff to make Chow Mein for dinner, and my wife ended up making it all (plus brownies for dessert) while I went and got onions and a movie.
We watched a romantic movie tonight after the kids went to bed.
The liberals can take over the board. Then I can play the victim. Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
Eh?
Banna, AfR, your V-day sounds pretty good to me. Glad to hear you guys had a relaxed day without troubles.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
Sheesh. Diane and I are pretty much to the left of "liberal" on most things. We're considered "conservative" by those who think policies that sanction and facilitate the suicides or outright killings of old, ill, or disabled persons is "liberal."

Don't forget, I really am claiming the board in the name of France, too. Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
But we know we could take it from France anytime we wanted to. Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
I just want to make it clear, that, while Diane and I took a day off from political activism, advocacy and the associated drudgery that goes with it, we did not spend the day in France. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Christy and I spent the day in Chicago, which was closer.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
TomD, that also means you and Christy were very close to Diane and me - we spent the day in Oak Park. We do Chicago when the weather gets warmer.

I still say you've got to get up to Madison some time, y'know.
