Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Connie, that's been my desktop photo since yesterday.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Theodosia, I can't get that link to work for me. I get the top fifth, but that's it. Looks tantalizingly pretty, though.

The pic I use for my desktop background is one I took a few years ago of a maple tree in my front yard. I put a copy here: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Between dcp and Theo, I've just recalled how much I liked having this as wallpaper. I'm losing the Legolas on the backup computer at home.

He stays on the main one, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Anyone have Deb's cell or home number? I have good news for her and wanted to get in touch right away.

Very nice, ita. Where's it from?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Allyson, I have her cell. E-mail?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

[Kathy, you know none of this is directed at you, right? Just something I've been thinking about.]

No problem! Like I said, I would have given the guy my own sandwich if I had something else for me to eat at home, but I didn't. I just feel more comfortable with giving cash to Salvation Army or bringing in things to work when they have the various charity drives here. I did give a guy at the laundrymat my leftover quarters when he asked for money for the bus--he had been telling me stories about Vietnam while I was folding my clothes, and then when he asked for some change, I figured what the hell, he was an interesting guy who spun a good tale.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Paging Alibelle. I think Yahoo mail is smoking crack. I can't seem to get any emails through to you. Try emailing me at my profile addy and we'll try to get you a gmail invite somehow.

When I became a parent you know something I didn't realize I'd need a lot of? Batteries. Lots and lots of batteries. C's, D's, AA's and AAA's. Every toy I buy for the kid needs batteries.
