        It occurs to me that weightlessness would probably be a good way to determine if someone was a witch. After all there are incredibly few human beings that weigh less than ducks.

      In college, we’d occasionally be in our underwear when it was balls out too hot to wear clothes (no air conditioning in the dorm). Also, some ladies like myself don’t like to wear pajama pants to bed, because they twist and get uncomfortable. Also, also, Sarah could be in the middle of changing and/or getting ready for bed.

      So, yes, but really only for practical reasons?

      This frequently happens in youth hostels or traveler’s hostels or some such, where loads of girls share a room (I never had a dorm mate, but I assume it’s similar in dorms). So, yes, this is actually pretty common, I’d say. Idk. It feels completey normal and not weird to me.

        I’m not opposed to panty shots, I just didn’t expect them from Sarah. Especially since her bandanna’s still on.

        She seems more like a sweatpants kind of gal, you know?

        Idk…I just have a bad feeling in my gut, that it’s going to be swept under the rug until who knows when. Kinda like when Amber came THIS close to going into her Amazi girl issues (from what I remember, it seemed to imply she was involved in a convenience store robbery?) but said it was too painful. It’s been months. Maybe a year. And there’s no conclusion to that in sight. Call me a stickler 😛

                  In the original comic she took off her sweater vest. So….

                  … Seriously, I thought Joyce would be more excited about standing next to a bare-chested Ethan. Even if it is understandable for her to be upset by Walky’s presence.

      They can’t really live that long without contact. All you have to do is keep in a closed bag for a week then wash it in the hottest water it can stand, preferably with colour-safe bleach. (Many, many children in my house growing up) (Many, many outbreaks)

        I don’t know. Horses have relatives of lice, Trichodectidae. Those occur seasonally, mostly in spring when the horses shed their winter hair. We got one gelding who has them every year. You poison them, and you clean the stables. He still gets them every year, even after changing stables (other horses do as well, but not like clockwork).

        Literature is not particularly informative about where those suckers (actually, as opposed to real lice they don’t really suck) spend the times of the year when they are dormant.

        My nieces got infested repeatedly over the summer, despite my sister’s actions to get rid of them. (The lice, I mean, not her daughters, though towards the end she may have been considering that step.) Apparently the neighborhood girls were just passing them around, so when one girl got cleaned up, she’d almost immediately get re-infested by one of the other girls whose infestation was just starting to hatch. They seem to have finally gotten rid of them, but it required the entire neighborhood to get together and coordinate their clean-up efforts and quarantine the girls.

    HEY, WILLIS! Since you seem to know all of the prominent Christian things aimed toward youth in the ’70s-80s-90s, can you ID this one?

    Which prominent Christian figure held conferences for teens (mostly on the East Coast), and taught such strict adherence to “honor thy father and thy mother” that he interpreted it to mean: Even if your parents ask you to sin, obey them. If they tell you give up Christ, then being a Christian is sin.

    Also, that all dating is bad.
