Just in case anybody was wondering, I would do Rosario Dawson , Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel all at once.
As a human being, I am a poor example.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Is Gus gone?
If so, here's my chance....
We bought our NC house having given the bank $300. We pay about what rent would be, so except for that $300, it appears to cost us what renting would.
We paid $1000 down for our house in CO and sold it for 25K more than we owed after 2 years. Since the rent/mortgage deal was about the same there, I've always looked at that as the best $1000 investment ever.
DH bought a home in AZ, lived there a year, rented it for 6, sold it for 40K more than we owed. Of course, there were way more variables on that one.
I don't know that I would call this a local phenomenen, but you do have to buy a home in the right place.

Swouncing
Poking head from the computer at my parents (I'm already there for washing dishes, folding laundry and the like Passover), to wave hello at everybody (remember me? I used to do more than skipping around here, once), and to send beth belated birthday wishes with an apology, because I didn't have any computer access on her birthday on the 18th, and to post, again according to the Buffista Calendar, that it's Betsy HP's birthday, so lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year for her.
Have short Fridays and great weekends, everybody. And a happy minimum-stressed Passover to whomever celebrates it!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, Betsy!!!

Since we have often talked of "taking back your faith" around here, I thought I'd post this from the NY Times this morning: [link]
As the Senate battle over judicial confirmations became increasingly entwined with religious themes, officials of several major Protestant denominations on Thursday accused the Senate Republican leader, Bill Frist, of violating the principles of his own Presbyterian church and urged him to drop out of a Sunday telecast that depicts Democrats as "against people of faith."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Have a happy Passover, Nilly!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday, Betsy!
Happy Passover, Nilly!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And on that Passover note, possibly the weirdest Passover thing I've ever read.

Happy Birthday, Betsy! And Happy Passover to those who celebrate it!
