The Glade 4.0

I bought a stolen mp3 player and ear buds yesterday from a heroin addict. About 70% off.

Feeling the need to shoot things.

I just got out of our Sexual Harassment training, and I don't feel like I picked up any good new techniques...

Lol. If you really need pointers I could reccomend someone. He's rather adept at creeping out members of both genders in the workplace.

Driving home with the windows open past fields of alfalfa, hay, and corn is very nice. The dairy farms...not so much.

Nope, I live in Gilbert, Arizona . There are about 10 or so dairy farms within a 5 mile radius from my house...thankfully I seem to be in a no stank zone despite them all

My guess is that that's when her shift is over. =P

Forgot about this for a bit, sorry to bring it up again. The reason for hairlessness in art of the period is that the beauty ideal of the day was a girl not quite through puberty yet... young enough not to have picked up any venereal diseases. So you get paintings of women with long, coltish legs, defined hips, high breast buds, and no body hair. Also very round faces and large eyes.

yeah, during those days, you were a grand mother by the time you were 30.. *shivers*

So, back then, pedophilia was not only socially acceptable it was encouraged?

By today's definitions yes. Back then it was considered normal.

Kind of. Our age of consent is pretty arbitrary, and modern 'childhood' is artificially lengthened. So at 9 you were ready to do adult tasks, and at 14 you were ready to run a household.
Which is good, because while it was possibly to be a grandmother at 30 most women didn't live that long.

9 more weekends.

Yeah thats true...life expectancy was different back then and life was a lot more brutal....I could see childhood ending as soon as one was physically capable of reproduction.
That's sad. I'm glad people have longer childhoods now. At least, those who actually have good ones.

Rabbit.

I'd call it a mixed blessing. We spend an awful lot of time pretending that kids are helpless idiots, then we act shocked when they act like helpless idiots when they first go out on their own.

I suspect a large part of that is because society stresses kids to study hard and be a good person. While they're both positive things, neither prepares you for the real world. I'd be a much better member of society if I traded all my book smarts and probably even a lot of my politeness for any useful amount of natural desire towards social networking and such. The old "it's not what you know, it's who you know" saying is entirely too true, and what we're taught as young teenagers and such blissfully ignores that adage.

If apprenticing or working for your family (either in a trade or, as was probably more common, growing your own food) was more common in today's society I wouldn't think it would be so big a difference even with extending childhood. But I will agree that it certainly isn't helping things.

Corporate bureaucracy is a pain in the ***.
