I grew up in the Danbury Area of CT. In Brookfield and Bethel. Not bad places. (that is where matt is now). 1 thai restaurant, 1 really good chinesse ( lets not talk about bad) , a couple of japaneese and sushi. We knew an Indian restaurant over the border in nowhere, NY. Best things about the area : Live music was easy to find,the Danbury fair Mall, October,24 hour diners. The worst thing- limited options. Everybody gets in to a routine- but it was so hard to break out of it - because there wasn't much else to do.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Seattle is attractive to me too.
The thing is: I'm pretty confident that eventually I want to live in Chicago. But there's like ten years between now and that eventually that I want to fill with *interesting* stuff.

Honolulu was my top spot.
followed by portland ,O, Little rock, Santa barbara, Santa Cruz, and Baltimore.
No Boston - which is where I would chose to go if I went back east. ( DC area second - but only if I got to work at the Smithsonian)
And while I think Santa Barbara is pretty, In a number of ways it reminds me of where I grew up. - a little isolated and insular...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My sister went to UCSB for a year and was miserable, so I find it hard to think of Santa Barbara in a positive way. I imagine the beaches aren't covered in oil and tar anymore...

I just had soft boiled eggs on toast a la Teppy . yum

MG, I couldn't agree more.
Glad you made it home safe and sound, SA!
Patiently awaiting pics of vw after her salon day. Also patiently waiting for 12:30 so I can leave work and relax on a nice little lunch date before my re-finance closing at 2pm.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think this: [link] is my absolute favorite of the responses to the Linda Hirshman article on SAHMs and feminism, for the take on the Nora Ephron butter quote alone.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
On the Philly Phront:
It looks like transferring with my current salary and bonus is a go. Now to see if Joe can transfer.
Still not sure what ~~ma to ask for.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Wow, Aimee. Exciting.
And hang on a sec - I'm guessing getting your LA salary in Philadelphia will work out to a defacto raise. So yay again.
