Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
St. Valentine also invented the heart-shaped mylar balloon.
Ah Valentines day, the the Hello Kitty of holidays.
So the most important lesson about Valentine's day that Nilly should learn is to watch out for gangsters carrying machine guns - especially if you happen to be in Chicago in the 1920s.

Or visit an alien society based on a book about Chicago in the 1920s.

Time machine!
You know, I think Christians and Jews (religious or just cultural) should start a big ecumenical ancient Roman bashing-society.
Or visit an alien society based on a book about Chicago in the 1920s.
Oh, of course. I had forgotten about that.
Time machine!
Well, if any of us could build a time machine, it'd be Nilly....
Butt-pats all around!
Emeralds are bad choice for a ring that's designed to be worn daily, as are opals, pearls, and other soft stones.
Huh. My mom's engagement ring is an emerald, and she wears it every day. Granted, the stone is teeny, and surrounded by the setting.
Well, emeralds aren't prone to crumbling on touch like a fresh cookie or anything, but there are lots of substances around the house that are harder and could crack one if an impact occurs. Odds are a diamond gets inherited by your kids or grandkids unless your hobbies include working with explosives.
I figured I couldn't say anything to my mom when she bought a replacement diamond engagement ring a few years ago, as she lost the original catching me before I fell out of a pontoon boat as a toddler.
Melissa Etheridge has always been my possible exception, and I think she kicked ass on the song tonight. Not Janis, but still fucking awesome.
She rocked hard. She made the song her own rather than just trying to mimic Janis. I'm pretending she did a solo.
Oh! Thanks for the butt pat.
DH cautiously asked if I wanted to do anything for Valentine's Day. I told him I really needed some time off and would like to take a weekend in the Keys without kids next month for our anniversary. He endorsed the plan.
