The reality is that we both thought it should be the way our mothers' did it.Yep. In the end it all comes down to *I* do it this way, so this is the way it ought be done.
Except in the case of vacuuming, anyone who vacuums for me does it perfectly.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We placed the glasses rim down, but then many of our glasses started cracking, so now we put them away right side up.
In the diswasher, I put everything business side down.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Probably that you lead a vital, interesting life and you take your hands with you on all your adventures.
Ohh...I like this. I shall cling to it mercilessly.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
But the man gave me "breathing."
Where do they store their lungs in that stainless steel casing?

My mother actually puts things business end up. So I guess the fear of dirty hands has overcome her programming in this matter.
One of my co-workers just came in to tell me she might have to leave work -- a piano fell on her son's fingers. And now there are old cartoon clips playing in my head involving pianos falling on various characters.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just go by the philosophy that nothing is as clean as I think it is so end up or down doesn't matter all that much.
I just got back from Whole Foods. Chi-Chi. Wow. But cool. And lots of expensive stuff. But they have unpasturized, imported cheese! Which I can't eat anymore--but they have it!
I'm going to need to go back when I'm unencumbered by the small one so I can browse at leisure.

Mostly lurking...
Thanks for the encouragement and stuff today, guys. I really appreciate it.
I'm about to call about the Admin Assistant position, then call and probably accept the research assistant position. Should be an interesting afternoon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can honestly say I've never given this matter a moment's thought before today. I think I dry my silverware in the direction it happens to be in my hand when I put it in the rack.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Don't feel bad. I once got hit in the hand with a sledgehammer and through the trip to the hospital (from the middle of nowhere), the x-rays, and for the next few weeks in a sling that was all *I* could think about too.
