Fortunately it didn't take long to get him used to putting the seat down.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Even after you've lived with a guy for a while, they do backslide, though. I learned, when living with the ex, to put out my hand to check the status of the seat before sitting.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My ex-boss' wife was the only woman in their house. She made him AND both their sons pee sitting down. This might explain a lot about why my ex-boss is the way he is.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hee! connie, excellent.
OK. I'm floating. I'm completely gobsmacked. This isn't writing, except that my agency forwarded it on to me. ANd also, that this is reminiscient of the whole Callowen House Arts Festival in my series.

I just got an envelope, addressed to me, reallyo trulyo, inviting me to the Renaissance Weekend this Labour Day.
I'm reeling. If you read the FAQ, it says that the invite is issued on the basis on nomination and recommendation by past participants and members of the advisory board.
Who in hell nominated me?
And oh, yes, we are so going. For a moment of "WHUZZAH?" from outer space, click the "media and Comments" page, or the FAQ.
I may go out of my frellin' mind, trying to figure out who recced me for this off that list. Apparently, Bill Clinton's involved in it, but that would be too damned much to hope for.
Anyway. Sorry. I had to squee.

Hells, yeah, Deb. Squee like a squeeing thing. That is so cool!

One of the things the invite wants to know is, is there something in which I specialise, that I would be willing to share with teenagers, as one of the "group meeting" things?
I could do one one writing. I wonder whose kids I'd be teaching? In looking at their sample past weekends, "On writing" has been handled by a few names.

That's so cool, Deb!

What is even happening?
Deb, writing seems like the most obvious thing. But also, you've lectured on Shakespeare. You cook. Oooh! They have sessions for teens and college students. You could teach them how to prepare meals with actual foods and flavors in them. You could call it, "NO RICE IN A TUBE".

There's rice in a tube?
Why?
