Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I kind of took it the way Trudy did

That interests me. Because I described a stance--why does that look like I'm branding the person? How would one better phrase that without over-defending and losing the point?

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, Trudy.

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

Thanks. Its all happening pretty now and i'm overhearing my mother on the phone.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's hard, Trudy, I'm sorry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If one has a fear of heights and/or ladders, one should probably not seek employment as a theatrical electrician. Just a thought.

In situations when I'm hiring people to work I'm supposed to be able to supervise and plan, not be the one hefting and climbing. Since I keep having to do that stuff, I'm going to have to figure how to be more ambidextrous. I seem to work the left biceps more than the right and the right triceps and forearm more than the left. And whatever I'm doing to my back is now spreading the pain and tension down into my right leg.

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

Trudy, your stance on this strikes me as so cynical it's almost wrapping back around to naive.

That was the opening to your comment. I didn't see it as a personal attack or anything - but I'm not sure how you separate the dancer from the dance on this.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Going to bed btw 11:30 - 12 should not = being awake at 6. Still, am awake.

My body is being a bit wakko. I woke up sick at 1:30, it passed quickly and I went back to sleep. Then I kept waking up at random intervals feeling nauseated again and really hot, I would push off the covers and would be fine. My room is only 60-64 degrees. Same for the livingroom where I am sitting now. Wrapping a blanket around me results in me feeling sick and all out of sorts in about 10 minutes, without it I am cold very quickly. stoopid body needs to settle down.

why so cold in your place? No heat?

no, that is the with heat temp. It is old steam radiators, so when they are on, it gets upto 65 or so, but by the end of there off cycle, it is back down to 60. I have them turned fairly low to avoid the extreme hot that they can produce.

Is your cat now sleeping like mine are, less than an hour after being noisy for no good reason.

yep, he's all curled up in "his" chair, snoozing. I guess he met all his needs (food, water, bathroom, bugging us) so now is the time to get some zzzzz.
