In general, I have to take a strong stand in support of eating.

In annoying news, I called the bridal shop to bitch about them sending me the wrong dress, and accidentally pointed out that I think I got the maid of honor's dress instead, so now they're making me get in touch with her to see what dress she got. @@

I know, I've yet to have them (well, except for a couple over the 4th of July weekend, which were barely enough to count), which is probably why I'm coveting noticing.

Just to pick on you, I used that nifty search-thread function for the word "cherries" in Natter. It appears in 6 posts. One is Jesse, talking about foods she loves, but to which she has reacted. Another is Cass, quoting back Jesse. The other four are you. We must have an intervention. Send all your cherries to me. I will keep them in a safe place. Really.

Searching on "cherry" is less fruitful (ba dum dah). It brings up me (that last post), Gud (talking about the George Washington tree incident/myth), and erika, but erika's use did not have anything to do with the cherries you are eating. I don't think.

I have to say that the cherries here have been *wonderful.* Now it's getting into fig time.

I may be killing my cat shortly. I'd just gotten the baby down for his nap, and decided I would take one also (since I'd pretty much put myself to sleep while rocking Mal), so I crawled into bed. The cat had other ideas - he wanted to play. Sitting on me and yelling got his butt thrown off the bed, so he marched into the nursery, shouldering the door open, and commenced howling right under the crib until the baby woke up and joined in.

No nap for me.

Here's some somewhat good news: Contrary to reports, John Roberts does not belong to the Federalist Society.

Contrary to contrary reports, John Roberts was a member of the Federalist Society.

so now they're making me get in touch with her to see what dress she got. @@

That's THEIR job. Sheesh.

And yes, I will admit to being mildly obsessed with cherries. They're good! And compact! And pretty! Also, and I suspect this may be due to their still being a seasonal, limited crop, usually of uniformly flavorful quality.

Raq, you're going to be in real trouble one that child gets his land legs. I think the cat is going to take full advantage of it.

I had a fig (fresh off the tree) for the first time last year. It was good and rather unexpected.

I got the maid of honor's dress instead, so now they're making me get in touch with her to see what dress she got.

they want YOU to call the maid of honor? what kind of bullshit is this? god, I hate it when stores think that they have you over a barrel and they screw you. I understand that bridal shops are particularly good for this.

"What matters is whether he hung out with them and not whether he signed the form or wrote the dues check," said David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University. "What's important is the intellectual immersion."

The questions about Roberts's involvement with the society may come down to the meaning of the word "membership."

Heh.

Anyone have some lj advice for me? My friends list is stuck - it won't show me anything more recent than yesterday afternoon. And I know there've been posts since then - every once in a while it flashes on more current stuff and then reverts to the old position. Not that it's not a smoking picture of meara, but I wouldn't mind seeing something new sooner or later.

is your name on the roster? did you write them a check every year? yes? then you're a goddamn member. and I don't mean a dick, cause we know that already

is your name on the roster? did you write them a check every year? yes? then you're a goddamn member. and I don't mean just a dick.

Well, the point is that he didn't write them a check every year. Or he might not have. IOW, he might not have been a "dues-paying member."
