assuming that they can't bounce off and go hit something else

I think they should bounce. It would explain all sorts of things. Instead of saying, "Someone must have walked on my grave," we'll say, "Someone's coldon particle emitter must have misfired." Much more Buck Rogers-y.

If we were sending the cold, wouldn't it be warmer here?

So I got a bite plate a few weeks ago that was supposed to be covered 80% by insurance. But when I paid at the dentist, the receptionist had the bill made up to look like it was only covered 60%, but the check came today, and it's for 80% coverage! Woohoo!

I know I'm not buying any more clothes this month, but I do need some fancy black hose to wear to the krav holiday party. By fancy I mean really really silky, and with a shimmer if possible.

Any recs?

I think that was part of it. So it's like stealing heat from the future, or something. Or at least from somewhere else.

That had to simplify keeping kosher considerably.

Well, it certainly complicates things, now. At the time, it was just the simple lack of most of the dairy products (or their relatively high prices), so almost all the food was made with meat/chicken. My grandfather could never grasp the notion of a dairy meal.

I'm a fan of DKNY hosiery, ita. Feels good, looks good, lasts a long time.

Victoria's Secret has some pretty shimmering thigh highs. You looking for full-hose?

Probably not what ita has in mind: Plush Cthulhu slippers

These plush Cthulhu slippers can keep your feet warm even as they damn them to a thousand nameless hells.

BTW, you've read [Linked], right?

No, but I went to a talk of his and got a headache. It was easier when the physics types restricted themselves to studying the distant universe, kept their mathy bits to themselves, and left the study of people to us lesser beings.

Hey Rick, my whole family is whack. You want em?

Everyone's family is whack, so really, no shortage of subjects.

Whoo! Work let me through to VS. Must remember that back door. Which sounds wrong.

I wonder if those tights are too sparkly, though. I have a couple pairs of grey hose and they are like insta-ashy FX. I still wear them because I'm lazy.

Allyson -- thanks for reminding me. I used to wear DKNY tights, but never tried their sheerer stuff.

Thanks, tommy, but I've already bought the shoes. Maybe for the next festive occasion.
