Your tag here.
Whew! Caught up. Now I shall say goodnight Buffistas! I'll catch up to you tomorrow.
Ok, I'll add my $0.02 to the numbers thing. I had a basic electronics class in college. I never could understand how they relied on an imaginary number i (square root of -1) to describe real world processes like electricity.
Silly math. I think the matrix has me.

Seconding the appreciation for all the lovely birthday wishes. Thanks muchly.
All in all, a great day. Capped with mounds and mounds of my favorite sushi, a nice white chocolate cake and "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and "Trash". (I've got converts ready to line up for the bdm right now!)
It was a day when it felt good to be me. I hope the same was true for each of you. Not the being me, of course...
G'night and good wishes to all.

But Lizzie Borden being acquitted is the bestest part.
Actually, at the time the Bordens were killed, several eyewitnesses saw a man running around their house, apparently looking for a way in. He seemed to be very upset about something, and he was later identified as a former patient/associate (my memory is a little fuzzy) of Mr. Borden who was known to be violent. So there's a good chance Lizzie got off because, despite what everyone "knew" happened, there wasn't a case.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Poking around the net, Little People of America defines dwarfism as anyone 4'10" or under. Which I could see for men, but I wouldn't consider a 4'10" woman a dwarf, I've had several women friends who were less than 5 feet tall.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Anyone want to recap 24 for me?

4'10"? That's quite surprising. I'm only 5'2", and I tower over some of the immigrant ladies I see at the grocery store. Honestly, it's gotten so that if I see a particuarly wispy creature of any ilk who's at all taller than me, I check her shoes. More often than not, she's wearing some very chunky soles.

Do nuns ever face reprisal from former Catholic school students? It seems like some of them traumatize so many people in childhood, there would have to be some risk of payback.
