Student ,'Touched'
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.
OK, the thought of a wee baby Nilly in her Mother's lap having LHotP translate is the cutest thing ever.
Nilly gets all excited about something, "Ima! Ima" (that's 'mommy,' right?) and bounces and stuff as Laura rolls Nelly down a hill into the creek or something. And baby Nilly is annoyed that she and the bad guy have nearly the same name...
Well, maybe toddler Nilly. Six year old Nilly? Regardless, dead of teh cute.

Happy Birthday, Sophia!
I always thought Book!Almanzo was hotter than TV!Almanzo.

What would be the best food to grow? Something that would grow fast, be productive, have a large percentage of the plant be edible, etc. (Assuming that getting the seeds or dirt to grow it in would not be an issue.)
This is also a matter of what plants take the most care, what ones produce quickly and continue producing for long periods of the season, and where the building is.
If your office building is in Siberia, I recommend potatoes and onions grown in jars. Since it's an office, you've got climate control for all the stuff growin in windows, so it's not really temperature-limited, but sun-exposure. If you work in Phoenix, you can still grow avocado trees, as long as you water them like crazy.
Scola's right, that beans and bean sprouts will get you ahead on both nutrition and speed of availability. Peanut plants might also be a good idea, for a protein-source that keeps really well. (I presume you don't want to waste precious office-time canning beans.)
It looks like the FDA is reconsidering the appointment of a male veternarian as head of the Women's Health Office. [link]
"Ima! Ima" (that's 'mommy,' right?)
Yup.
Trudy, my earliest memory regarding it is from when I was probably 3 years old (when it was still just me interested in that stuff, before my one-year-younger brother was also into such tv, definitely before sister #2 was born). It was probably one of the first tv shows whose subtitles I read, too.
annoyed that she and the bad guy have nearly the same name...
See, it was quite clear to me that the names on the show aren't like 'our' names. Nobody I knew was named Laura or Charles or Mary or anyhthing like that, so I knew that "Nelly" and my name were completely different things. Of course, at the time, those names sounded strange and exotic and special, much better than the 'regular' ones everybody kept using around here with real-life people. So I couldn't understand what was so strange with "Almanzo". It definitely wasn't further than the names I was used to than Willie or Harriet.
I always thought Book!Almanzo was hotter than TV!Almanzo.
One of the very first things I've ever done online, way before "Google" was a verb, was to track down pictures of the real "Little House" people. I was very pleased to discover that the real Almanzo looked nice.

Good. I've seen the actress in interviews. Little girls HATED her and would give her grief in public, but Melissa Gilbert would tell them she was actually nice.
