someotherguy and I were such good shoppers today, by which I mean that we enjoyed it, we spent very little money, and we got stuff we are getting joy out of.

Oh, and my tomatoes! My tomatoes are coming ripe. I'll try to remember to take photos tomorrow.

And now I should go to bed, in case I have to work in the morning. I may or I may not. Go to bed, that is. :-)

Flamewars I have taken a pass on today (and today's methods of passing)

* Why I think it's moronic to force a kid to eat "just a taste" of food zie doesn't wanna eat. (Decided to kill the thread -- my blood pressure didn't need it.)

* Why it's not an insult to be called (or asked if you are) a transperson. (Defused by giving personal testimonial of a time I was called trans in a newspaper article and was amused/flattered.)

* Why it does not follow that having more partners means (a) cancelling out the flaws of your existing partner(s); or (b) having inherently more jealousy to deal with (because monogamous people can just assume there's no one else. Yeah, right.) (Tried the broken-record approach, with a modicum of success.)
