I keep checking to see if any of the neighbors are building an ark. Seriously... the rain—all week... rain rain rain rain rain. AAAGGGHHHH!!!!!

It was a lengthy handout that a lot of people seemed to enjoy. Thankfully, I found a few copies of this printout recently, as it no longer existed in "computer" form.

On the left side of the desk is this little heap of paper bits: brainstorms, workouts I've written for clients, myself, or the small group, a few receipts and SD … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation
