I think if you just tell him straight up what's going on, you should be fine.
Walking foot=sewing machine part. I didn't know your's was missing, tho!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Erin, yeah, just tell him straight up. Also, it won't seem girlfriendy as long as you don't pop in a romantic movie or cook anything more complex than popcorn for him.
Thanks for the explain on that "walking foot" thing, ChiKat... I was getting concerned about vw's detachable parts.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm in the mood for weird news, so I've gone to newsoftheweird.com and found some nuggets:
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist, quoting a spokesman for the telecommunications company Lucent in January, reported that "nearly a million people" in the United States still lease their house phones for around $60 a year (about 20 years after they were no longer required to), rather than buy them for as little as $20 each. [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 1-28-06]
In Jackson, Mo., in December, Jacob Vandeven, 27, was caught by his judge at lunch, having a drink, one hour after the judge had convicted Vandeven of DUI and sentenced him to alcohol rehab with a do-not-drink order.

My grandmother still leased her phone from the phone company until she died a few years ago. When my father cancelled the lease, we had to give the phone back to the phone company. I was disappointed, since it was a really neat-looking old-fashioned phone, and what was the phone company going to do with a 40-year-old phone anyway?

My mother was told in the 1960's they they had to buy the phone, they paid for it at the local office, and when the new changes came along, the phone company wanted to charge them a lease fee sudenly, so mom gave them the phone and bought a newer one.
We figure the local phone company branch didn't want to bother with adding the rental to each month's bill or flat out lied back in the 60's, or thought they had a better plan than Ma Bell.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I am trying *so hard* to convince myself to do something, like my dishes or my homework or to just put gel in my hair. Boy, is nothing compelling. Except sitting here and refreshing b.org and my friendslist, over and over...

SA is me. I know I should get up and make some dinner, yet I am sitting here doing the same...refresh, refresh, refresh.

Same here. Well, right now I'm getting irrationally irritated at the online grocery site for not having purple sugar. (I want to make a king cake. I cannot find purple sugar anywhere. Can you make purple sugar with regular sugar and food coloring? It would seem like the sugar would dissolve or clump together or something.)

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
Hil, it shouldn't be a problem. The amount of foodcolor you use is so slight that as long as you stir it right in the sugar will stay basically dry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am trying *so hard* to convince myself to do somethingDishes, laundry, clean up even one pile of crap lying around, vacuum... Yeah doing any of these would be good.
Instead I am refreshing pages, laughing at puppycat who happily burrowed into a pile of comforter and I watched the Daytona 500. Really? Not a lot to show for today.
