Sorry to hear about your aunt, Ginger. The book stand sounds like a great idea, but I've never used one.
ION, I have a party to clean up after. Don't wanna.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Pet Peeve #826: When I say I live in LA and love it to death, it's kinda rude to respond, "OMIGOD WHY??? IT SUCKS SO MUCH!!!"
Kristen, my biggest reaction to watching The Italian Job last night was a fierce missing of LA. LA is the opposite of suck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have decided to get married in the US, hopefully this year. This way my sister will have to choose between my wedding and her ban on US travel. It would be convenient if I could have a boyfriend before March, for unrelated reasons.
So get on that, will you, Buffistas?
Ginger, Spidra's suggestion sounds good.

There's a hot young barista at the Northgate Starbucks drive through that I've considered kidnapping and shipping to you... (Last time we ordered there, I looked through the window and said to Paul, "Damn, can we get him for ita?")
Great voice, too.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My grandfather used a similar book holder when he read at the table, but turning pages one-handed took some dexterity, and it didn't work well with paperbacks or books with short bottom margins.
My grandmother used a lap desk on a bean bag when she read in her easy chair, something like this: [link]

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Um, I saw someone I thought would be perfect for you, he's a scientist, though, so I don't know how you'd feel. Also older than you, but superhot, sexy bod, and remarkably kind.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Any parameters, other than 'be American'?

Come to think of it, ita, your mom would approve given the PhD and science stuff, yeah?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Allyson, cleaning it up would be a favor. You don't even have to say anything! He'll be all, "See? It's fine now!" but you'll know.
