To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My mom's next door neighbor just had a little girl. Early, 33.5 weeks, and she's 4.2 lbs and doing quite well. Mom and dad have sort of been her support system since her husband is a security contractor on the road a lot (until now.) I'm quite happy for them. Finding good where I can.

This child was much hoped for and much thought unlikely.

Always Anti-fascist!

Tom, I'd like a guy to want to call me. Not that this is a come-on...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

My Beau had a "we need to have an exclusive relationship" talk with me on our 2nd date. Granted, we met through the internet and talked on the phone for 6 weeks before we met in person, so maybe this is unusual.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Right! The "is there anyone else?" discussion, which isn't necessarily the "am I your girlfriend?" discussion, though they can be combined.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thank you! You'd think I'd grown an extra head, the way she reacted just because I handed out a formatted agenda.

Was it laminated? Because that would set off retentiveness concerns.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Tom, everyone else said it better than I ever could. You are eminently dateable, and she just passed up the best thing that could have happened to her.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Was it laminated? Because that would set off retentiveness concerns.

Also, it's frustrating not to be able to make notes.

You don't like the ability to erase them and start again?

I prefer a digital version, myself.

If it was a pro forma, or titled "Interview with Applicant #4", that would get a raised eyebrow from me.
