Monday morning Eugenics.

To learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

"Early eugenicists were mostly concerned with perceived intelligence factors that often correlated strongly with social class. Many eugenicists took inspiration from the selective breeding of animals (where purebreds are often strived for) as their analogy for improving human society."

Robin in Montana said...: Corinne -- Maybe just *dressing like a penis isn't her only talent ...

I do think she's smart enough, since the times I've gotten (well, Kelly got after her, but it was my mouthiness) after her, she snaps out of it and does her job. Judging from FB (she's also recently divorced, but young) she's so busy partying and meeting 'boys' and figuring out where the next shindig is that she's either thinking of that stuff or fighting a hangover. She seems like she's sharp enough that she'd probably do just fine if she could stay focused.; March 1, 2010 at 2:15 PM

Muliebrity said...: I laid on the story about my husband being deployed and his pay getting jack up and they sent the dude back over and turned it back on five minutes later.

Robin in Montana said...: AP -- Well, if the settlement were to be accepted by both sides, they'd both sign, and theoretically as fast as a court date could be set, it would be over. Mine was signed on like a Friday or Monday and I had my court date by Thursday morning of that next week.

However, there are a couple of sticking points. She's getting a cash settlement, she's getting 401(k) money, and she's getting pension money. She (per her atty) plans on cashing out the 401(k) money (stoooopid) to pay off all the debt she's racked up since they separated, and their wording in their offer says something like "until" she gets the cash out of the 401(k) AND the cash settlement that he will continue to pay the house payment, all utilities and insurance *plus child support. Uh ... not going to happen. It can't happen. The cash setttlement will have to come from a loan and he just can't swing all of that.

She also has wording to the effect that she will refinance the house and get his name off "in six months or 'as soon as reasonably possible'" He's wanting it six months, period. Otherwise that leaves that big debt in his name on his credit and will be prohibitive of him being able to move on in terms of buyihng a new house and so on.

Other than, just some weird crap that we left, but that I foresee causing problems. Like the dining room table (huge, huge, huge) that she has valued to him, which means he would take it. What the hell are we going to do with a table big enough to seat 20 people? And really, I don't see her wanting it out of her house. Just odd.

So. We'll see. There are a couple f; March 1, 2010 at 2:55 PM

I did however find a white canvas-wrapped canoe which I think you should consider. It retails for only $7,500.00. Let me know if you want me to pick it up for you. I'll place it on one of the Great Lakes (depends where you are) and push it in your general direction.

I hadn't heard of eugenist before I had an ethics class back when I was a pre-med.
eugenist comes from the Greek eu- which means good/well and "genô" which means 'to give birth to', it can thus be translated as 'well-born'.

It is a crazy theory that would probably never have existed if Darwin hadn't written his evolution theory. So, he enlightened the human race with a brand new knowledge but also plagued it with that theory somehow.; March 1, 2010 at 3:49 PM

We went to one of the schools to pick up a form (we have a primary and an alternate) and she wanted to see the class, and was afraid her teacher wouldn't like her, but otherwise she is more excited to turn "number 5" so she can go to the big school.; March 1, 2010 at 3:49 PM

Robin in Montana said...: Aww, how cute. Cami was nervous and excited like that, and Katie never did (and still doesn't) give a rat's ass.

In an aside, Katie decided since she turned 9 that she was going to "start taking care of her hair," which translated to her brushing it in the morning instead of me doing it for her and both of us ending up in a wrestling match on the floor with hair flying.

Nilia said...: Holy Moly to the $69 pair of Olympic Mittens. They sell for $10. That's Canadian currency, people. Damn that Oprah.; March 1, 2010 at 4:39 PM
Nilia said...: Taiya: On Daisy, being married is no obstacle to hooking up with someone here. Just ask about the sister wives sometime.; March 1, 2010 at 4:40 PM
Nilia said...: Taiya: is your head swirling yet, with all of the simultaneous conversations?; March 1, 2010 at 4:40 PM
manda said...: FT, gosh no, I think I left shortly before Christmas. Won sent out an email to non-active members, such as myself, letting them know they had to respond and participate otherwise they would no longer be able to access the site. I chose not to email her back. I can't quite pinpoint it with her, but we are definitely not from the same tribe, kwim?; March 1, 2010 at 4:41 PM

suz said...: FT, what is crazy on the mittens is that I looked at them the day before they were $35.00. But I got busy and did not buy them. Next day they were $69.00. That is crazy.; March 1, 2010 at 4:42 PM
T@iy@ said...: FT- actually no! I have a group of friends(4 of us) and our IRL convos actually are a lot like this. May be why I like it.; March 1, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Nilia said...: CM: sorry, I confuse easily. It was hard to keep track of who's who, still is a little bit for me and I feel bad because lots of ladies here keep everything so straight they must be keeping notes. (hmmmmmmmmmm............)

I was only able to tell Bella and BD apart after I wrote a haiku about them. I still have to mumble it to myself sometimes it so I know who I'm talking to. (i.e. the one with a lot of phobias vs. the one who always makes fun of them).; March 1, 2010 at 4:44 PM

Gah! I'll never get anything done today! Too much action around here!; March 1, 2010 at 4:46 PM

Robin in Montana said...: CM - I admit to being confused in the same douche canoe as FT. I knew I "knew" your name, but didn't remember if it was from when I first got to OHIH (shortly before the Great Brouhaha of 2009) or from SIP.

SIP is still going, with some who post both places and some who lurk, either openly or secretively. And while trying not to break any rules from over there, everyone is well and status quo. Some just feel comfortable here, and some don't.

Me? I feel comfy in my low-life-edness both places. :-D

Taiya - I'm worried about you. You came in saying you didnt' think you'd be welcome here and I took that to mean you thought you might be more of the BF type. I'm thinking you're scooching into this low-lifed, flower-snorting, husband-worshipping-hating pack of biddies (and it *is biddies, GM, not "bitties" Hope that helps. Or is it "biddys" Gosh, I dont know now....) just fine, and that concerns me. ::cackle::; March 1, 2010 at 4:51 PM

FT- Arrgh. You caught me. I'm taking notes.

I kid. I kid. ;-); March 1, 2010 at 4:51 PM
Robin in Montana said...: I can keep BD and BElla straight now, but I know I called them both Bella at some points and had them confused in my mind early on. Does someone still have the haiku, though?; March 1, 2010 at 4:53 PM
T@iy@ said...: Well, honestly I think I am both types. :) I'm going to ride the fence 'til I decide. haha

No, really, I don't see a prob. with either/both. just enjoy chatting.; March 1, 2010 at 4:54 PM

I love Oopsie Daisy, though!; March 1, 2010 at 4:54 PM
Muliebrity said...: I hope I just didn't test my luck with a jalapeno burger. I was hungry and that expired buffalo sauce seemed to stop making itself known.; March 1, 2010 at 4:55 PM
kristin said...: I too enjoyed SIP, I had problems with some of the rules but thought I played well with others and truly enjoyed all the ladies there. Apparently the feeling was not mutual.

I am sure this will be a topic of discussion.

::waving at the SIP lurkers.; March 1, 2010 at 4:57 PM
Shannon said...: Corinne I feel the same exact way. I was quite happy at SIP but then I started to see a spiral that was making me have the same feelings I felt building in the last month or so of OHIH. I realized that I wasnt trapped and I could choose to leave...I still miss a lot of the gals that are still there though and dont even harbor ill feelings toward Won.; March 1, 2010 at 4:58 PM

Shannon said...: It made my mind first go to Fester......for those who are new and dont know who Fester is....BD, one of our gals, had laperoscopic surgery and her incision at her belly button got infected and earned the nick name Fester; March 1, 2010 at 5:00 PM
Angie said...: FT, I super love those haikus. Loved them then, love them now!; March 1, 2010 at 5:00 PM

kristin said...: we may be low life's Taiya, but since we don't have lives, we are quite creative - well some of us anywho!; March 1, 2010 at 5:02 PM
Nilia said...: I liked SIP too and honestly still adamantly insist I did not break any rules. Shannon's post disappearing? Seriously, what goodbye post do you guys know of which was left up? There's a lot I could spill in terms of confidences and email but I did not and I will not. That's just not who I am, no matter what someone at SIP thinks.

When the bannings started though, I was uncomfortable as were many of you. I am not sure if I ultimately was banned for breaking a rule or because I said to just revoke my invite (when the rule-breaking was brought to my attention) but it is to my everlasting shame that I did not ask earlier since I *was beginning to feel uncomfortable there and should have just said so. This is not a condemnation of any who stayed or left or whatever. Just what I should have done because I knew I should have done it. Sorry if this is murky.; March 1, 2010 at 5:03 PM

speaking of, has anyone heard from our little Rhody friend?

She is one I miss!; March 1, 2010 at 5:05 PM
Nilia said...: I don't know any Spanish cuss words, unless they are very similar in Portuguese and I can think of one offhand,actually, that I won't type here.

Anonymous said...: FT- It is not murky.
I left because I realized that we were not going to get a *rational answer as to why Kristin was banned.
SiP clearly went to being ours to being hers. I don't wish won ill, I never would. However, I cannot stand by someone who sets up arbitrary rules and acts irrationally.; March 1, 2010 at 5:08 PM

Kristin- EM posted on her blog this morning I think. I remember reading something from her in my google reader :-)

Taiya- After OHiH imploded another communty was set up, called SiP. It is an invite-only blog. There has been some drama there over the course of February. Long story...; March 1, 2010 at 5:12 PM

To this day, I have still not received any explanation.

I have an OHIH apron (hardly used), a picture of CK's dog wearing a sweater and hating it, and a bath bomb left from Bella's Secret Santa gift to me.
