Fleming: The Man Who Be Bond is overwrought (think 40s melodrama) and has an unlikeable title character but I'm still watching. -- nm - CovingtonCat Feb 13, 16:59

    - It has a reputation as such still but I don't see... - Mel Profit Feb 13, 17:10
- Last paragraph: other minority neighborhoods last because the people have kids who are the same minority. How... would we get a gayborhood to last? -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 16:48
- Well...the diversity tends to be greater until gentrification fully sets in and the housing prices/taxes start pushing out the lower income, frequentl - the liioulu with Feb 13, 16:37

- how did they not realize this during practices? I smell bullshit -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 16:28 7

    - We just taught Bub that the kitchen was a danger place and to stay out when cooking was going on. -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 16:55
    - Largely, no. We used Joovy for a while, which is a similar concept. - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:24 3
      - yeah but the new ones don't have that problem. My sister chucked her twins in there all the time, they were perfectly happy. -- nm - loosi at home Feb 13, 15:24 2
