It's totally sad making. So sadmaking that I'm so overwhelmed by the sadness that I can only sit here, rock back and forth and say, "knuffle bunny".
This might convince Lori to go get you cake, since the song didn't work.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What Stiffy is. Lee (and, apparently Cass) get your head out of ita's brain.Sadly, I knew what it was. My brain still went to the dirty places.
And why do I know what Stiffy is? I can't even iron.

Thanks, Plei! That gives me enough to give the scene some sensory oomph. (Never a natural strong point with me, since I'm dialogue and introspection's bitch, but I'm trying to get better!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My brain still went to the dirty places.
Oh! I know this game!

Actually not really related to ironing.
For a party one year, someone asked me to make a set of favors, so I actually used fabric to create fortune cookies. Stiffy is used to make fabric retain shape pretty much permanently. It's not really starch in that it can't be undone with just a quick wash.

so I actually used fabric to create fortune cookies.I have just got to learn how to be creative. As long as I don't try to learn anything involving an iron though. I am not coordinated. I end up with wee little burn scars.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Suela, that's great. Congratulations!
Susan, on your whiskey question, I'd only had wine and mixed drinks made with vodka, gin, and bourbon. My first taste of scctch, ever? And not even good scotch? Was "Why haven't I been drinking this all along?" I may have had an occasional marguerita, bloody mary or screwdriver since, but mainly, I've dedicated my drinking life to an exploration of single malts. And well, stout, and wine.

Heh. I guess I could write the story with Anna's One True Love being the single malt, but I don't know that St. Martin's, NAL, Kensington, et al. would be that interested....
Oh, and in the realm of "duh" questions, since it's been years since I last looked at the stuff, whiskey is a nice clear amber brown, right? If it's not, I've got some rewriting to do now before I make a public fool of myself. I mean, more public than here....
