Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Working as a nanny, it was for me similar to what ita describes. I was very much part of the family. We breakfasted together, then the parents would go to work and the baby and I'd take the 5-year old to school, then come home, shop, cook, do stuff with the baby. We had a cleaning lady, so straightening up is all I needed to do. I knew these people because they were part of my social set. Half my friends worked for the production company the parents headed up anyway, and they'd come home for dinner most nights, which I'd cook. We had a blast. The mom used to be an actress in England and she'd get us doing the most FUN games. If I hadn't've left the cult and been a pariah to everyone except my sister, I'd probably still be friends with them. Anyway, it was the most fun job I've ever had.

My coworker's husband didn't have a heart attack, whew! It's probably an inner ear infection, or something. I picked them up at the hospital and drove them to the transit station. They were going to get themselves home and to their family doctor.

Java, good news.

connie, much ~ma to the hubby and to you, the one who waits without knowledge and that is scarier sometimes than the one who at least can see what's going on while it's going on.

Steph, looking at the title to your pic, Raquel reminds me a little of Jill St. John. Even better, she looks like herself and she is truly gorgeous.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Raquel is so beautiful that you wind up being distracted while you're talking to her. "Why is she talking to me? Doesn't she know how gorgeous she is?"

Aw, Hec, with the silver tongue.(Not like Jedidah Springfield's one.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks, erika. Now I'm all creeped out. There's few things squickier than disembodied tongue prostheses.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's few things squickier than disembodied tongue prostheses.

What about Tycho Brahe's silver nose?

And why has that never been a song title? Fuck, that would've been perfect for Guided By Voices.

Heh. When you google, the second hit is: "Tycho Brahe Homepage. With summary, his observations, death, nose, castle."

"Death, nose, castle" would also make an excellent song title.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Oh connie, all the ~ma in the world to you and DH.

ION, the universe can stop using me for a punching bag too. I've very few places on my body that remain unbruised. My car was hit in Best Buy's parking lot this evening. Nothing major--I saw the whole thing happen and the 17 y/o girl was terrified because it was her first accident--but the inconvenience is just one more thing on top of the rest.
