Anyone have a copy of the DU calendar?

Last edited Mon May 19, 2014, 10:53 AM - Edit history (1)

Are we supposed to have porn twice in the same year? Or are we ahead of schedule? I thought May was Olive Garden month?

Not complaining or whining about DU. Honest. Just trying to keep myself on schedule.

I don't think we've done breeders vs. child free in a while. That crowd has clearly been slacking off.

Kid" that one always gets good results... See, because then you can get people arguing BOTH over screaming kids in restaurants as well as the dubious proposition that TGIFs is fine dining. A win-win.

Actually I have to stay out of threads like that because as a parent "screaming kid in a restaurant" is one of those phrases, like "emergency root canal" which brings back too many bad memories.

That was done during DU2, btw, and "abusive alerters" weren't really a thing.

about rape and privilege--the experiences of women and people of color--as being "pushed."

Perhaps you could make your own calendar and assign designated days, if any, on which we are allowed to post about issues that concern us.
