Skimmy skim skim and hullo.
North Beach parking on a weekend is notoriously bad.
My nephew is playing at Jazz at Pearl's in North Beach and I went to the first show last Friday - and lucked out with a legal parking spot right on Columbus right in front of the Purple Onion. Whoot!

Whoa! Fabulous photos.
Re housing in the Seattle area, another local friend has bought a house in the San Juans. So now I have friends to visit on Lummi Island, Salt Spring Island, and two in Port Townsend, which is kind of in the San Juans, being in the rain shadow 'n' all. I expect this doesn't do anything to help the local housing prices for long time Seattle residents, sadly.
I think Katerina bee has gone on vacation, fyi.
Read the Sean Bean thing. I had completely forgotten that I absolutely, positively have to see
The Island.
Hi Java cat!
Toast with sour cherry preserves: I have paid off my student loans in a biggish lump sum. I am now broke, but owe no one anything, except what I've charged this month on my Visa. Whew!
lib, if you can pay off the bill in full when it comes in, it doesn't count as debt.
Congrats!
Whoot for debt-free-ness!
Unless, of course, the contest results are revealing a flaw in my writing that somehow isn't revealed in ordinary critiquing.
A little later but....
Susan, I think I'd give most of the contests a pass. I can't speak with any authority on romance writing contests specifically, but I've gotten the impression over the years that the majority of writing contests tend to reward safe, normal, middle of the road entires. Not the interesting kind of writing that makes for good actual published books.

Best tasting remedy for constipation, ever: Priceless.
Sugar Free and Low Carb candies.
I read that as candles. Imagine my confusion.
Hey back, libkitty! And YAY! congratuations. It's a good feeling, huh?
You can eat candy for constipation? Instead of bran and veggies? Okay, that's weird.

Candy that has sugar alcohols instead of sugar can only be eaten in moderation. If sensitive people eat too much of it, their digestive tract basically decides it's had ex-lax. The less sensitive to the effect you are, the more you can eat, but suddenly you're like the people in the commercials for Imodium AD.
Same with low-carb ice cream.
