No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not exactly finger food, but I know most of our friends just come to our Christmas open house for the Honeybaked ham which we serve with small rolls or good crackers and a jar of mustard.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I always make devilled eggs for gatherings. Love 'em. Also make good chicken wings marinaded in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and lemon. Fry 'em up, yummy. Maybe that and an antipasto and some cookies would be a good buncha yum.

Bruschetta I'll always eat.

And veggie dip.

I'll show up for your food, Allyson!

Laughing too hard here. Mom's ps included orders to block whatever mouseholes exist. She says she's getting to heart attack age.

But she's gonna get to meet Mister Kitty. She'll get over it.

Now if only I have a/c.... (2 weeks and counting.)

Allyson way back in another thread you mentioned something in wistful mode about your when your "book is published". As number one skimmer/skipper do I take it you have written a book? Or you are writing a book? Cause your style rocks; if you have written something I'll bet it is great. [ I mean besides your column and the articles you already publish.]

I hadn't picked up on that at all. Nice.

Aw, yes! It's a collection of essays called, Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? and it's about my adventures in fandom.

I'm querying agents now, and, fingers crossed, someone will represent me and get my book out into the world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Someone do something for me, so I can thank them, stat!

I'd send you some treats if I had your address.

Aurelia, ita didn't answer. That means you should send them all to me.
