Cheers,

--
A dangerous looking redhead sat languidly at an adam desk talking into a
pure-white telephone. I went over there and she put a couple of cold blue
bullets into me with her eyes and then stared at the cornice that ran
around the room.
...She was wearing a white wool skirt, a burgundy silk blouse and a black
velvet over-jacket with short sleeves. Her hair was a hot sunset. She wore
a golden topaz bracelet and topaz earrings and a topaz dinner ring in the
shape of a shield. Her fingernails matched her blouse exactly. She looked
as if it would take a couple of weeks to get her dressed.

Hi Otis.
>C1 Monologue. Reads a day care letter or news piece. Piece says that

>home.
Odd that Laura wouldn't think (left an opening there you could drive a house
through) to have taken the opinion that with THOSE "scummy slutty LIBRUL"
parents the kids would be BETTER OFF in daycare! Odd how her own inflexibility
and dogmatic knee jerking bounces back on her, isn't it?
> DL, "This is a liberal mentality where the village is
>responsible. No parents, no individuals for themselves, no parents
>for their children."
Does she even know (damn, another 3 bedroom ranch just went through there) that
the cherished "nuclear" (as opposed to nucular) family is a very recent and
experimental item against the backdrop of history? That the "village" concept
has a vastly longer and better track record?

When did Minneapolis become a state?

Dress to be strepping in cow shit, sweetheart.

DL:"I hope! Send me some PICTURES!!"

Like you use your equally non-existant "shrink license"? That way?

He probably hangs around a nasty bitch like Laura most of the time and he
considers any woman who doesn't beat the shit out of him at every turn to be
"coming on".

Ok, so now you can't move the family even if both parents are still married.
You just can't move at all. Unless you are Laura, fleeing a "mistake". Then
it's OK.

Gee, I take my medications & do my therapy every morning no matter when I get

Unless the feelings belong to a white Christian male. In that case, Laura
worships feelings and doesn't consider behaviors.

This must explain Laura's mania for physical activity.

Why doesn't Laura advise *Pam* to take a bath? For all we know, Jane is
resentful of *her* husband because *he* puts his hands on young girls.

But the *kid* wants to go! Poor formerly neglected tyke -- he would rather stay
in the after-school program with all the neglected children. The innocent
doesn't understand that what seems to him like fun is, in fact, socialist
eeeevilll. Lisa has to save the boy from himself by teaching him how much fun
it is to leave his friends and come home to Mommy -- who will, of course,
entertain him.

Oh, crap. Who (besides Liartina) would deny that Laura has told many, many
*female* callers that because one of their parents wasn't nice to them -- even
if the parent didn't abandon them -- the callers don't *have* that parent? How
many callers has Laura forced to say, "I don't have a mommy/daddy"?
April says they can't afford the trip, but Laura insists he must rush to the
bedside of this stranger and pretend this stranger is his daddy.

All April is saying is that her husband didn't have a father. When someone
other than Laura says that, it sounds really cruel and unfeeling, even to Laura.

Did *April* force her husband to admit that his father was a bum? Did *April*
make her husband repeat, "I don't have a daddy"?

Even if April is saying no more than what "Dr. Laura" says?
"Dr. Laura" is a hypocrite.

What was PhDL's verdict? Did she side with Tim and make Lee the bad
wife/mom? Or was she the stopped clock? One of my cousins has a
daughter who won't eat any food that isn't white, and her parents -- a
doc and a nurse! -- indulge her. She's 16, and AFAIK, hasn't ever
eaten any food that wasn't peeled, skinned or boiled to her
specifications. (The girl has a brother who's a more catholic eater.)
I'd never do this for my kids. OTOH, the girl seems healthy,
physically, if spoiled. Does this pt of view officially push me into
geezerdom?

If she's 16 and that fussy she can bloody well cook her own food.
And if that's a geezer, I'm a geezer, wouldn't you like to be a geezer

My 16 year old has been cooking for herself whenever her mom and I are dieting.
She eats what I fix occasionally, but with high school food being what it is,
she is usually happy to skip lunch & fix a meal for herself and her beau right
after school.

I tell you what, with traffic in S-B becoming wilder every day, Laura could be
laid up for MONTHS next time she tangles with a curb! She might have to have
hip & knee replacements and a complete skin transplant! They could use the
leftovers from Roseann's breast reduction!

Stopped clock. Although Laura did ask what they don't want to eat, and when she
heard that one of them refused to eat sweet corn, that seemed to tip the
balance. If one of them hated bananas, Lee would have to make special meals for
them forever. But anyone who claims not to like sweet corn gets no sympathy
from Laura. They can eat dinner or not.

Oh, come on in. You're going to wind up here anyway.
I had a young relative who wanted to eat only green things, but that was before
he could say the word green. I don't think that I would put up with an
all-white diet for an older child, but maybe it was a package deal: white food,
eaten without fuss or anxiety. It's hard to believe a 16-year-old keeps up with
that, but maybe I underestimate the tolerance of other teenagers for quirky
eating. She's old enough to shop and cook for herself now, though; she should
take over the burdens of her special diet. I wouldn't run interference for her
with friends and relatives, either. Let *her* explain why she doesn't eat
chocolate.

No, Laura wanted Laura the caller to put the sticker on her car *and* get a "W"
hat and a sign for her lawn. I think Laura the caller was from Missouri. It's
a good sign that Bush supporters there are ashamed to let anyone else know.

To be fair -- and Laura *is* going to a fair, after all -- Laura has never made
any claims for her legs. She's admitted before that she has no ankles. Her
pretense of modesty is a small price to pay for her not going into detail about
her legs that don't taper.
