Not that you would know for sure without actually seeing the dress, would you worry about it being unlined and not being intended for use with a petticoat?

Nope. Plus, the notion that a dress would need to be lined to be worn with a petticoat is just ... silly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's what I thought-- that just seemed odd.

Okay, added to my watch list.

If'n anyone's interested, Extreme Makeover on ABC is showing an episode about Hurricane Rita restoration in Sabine Pass, Texas. The theater at the high school was the recipient of a new lighting system provided by my company. Not sure if you're going to get to see any of the equipment, but I hope so. Give you an idea of what kind of stuff we make.

OMG, this is where I admit I'm such a sucker and I watched that show. Yay your company!

I cram cynical me down hard for the duration to EM:HE. Creeps back out, but I mush it back down.

The theater definitely looked nice when they were done! Unfortunately, no close-ups of our equipment, boo.

And then, that nasty Tom Cruise was on my TV and I turned it off. Ugh.

ION, I did find out today that hail can break car glass. I'm going to have to replace my windshield. Ugh times two.

(venturing again into Bitches) I'm afeared of the same thing in the storms that are coming tonight. You have my best insurance wishes.

Good luck, sarameg, may the weather gods go easier on your property than they did on mine. I knew I should have got a garage when I bought this condo, only I'm such a cheapass.

I was so hoping the storm would come through while I was at work, as I have a garage there (last hailstorm that did major damage was while I was at work. I was stuck outside in an alcove and watched windshields explode.) At home, I'm in an exposed parking lot. Ahrg.

Ouch. Glad to say mine's only cracked, but I'll still replace it so it doesn't have a chance to get any worse. Also got a couple serious dents in the roof, but I'm not sure there's much that can be done to fix those.

Cute cat story. One of my cats was outside when the storm started last night and when I slid the screen door open he came running and missed the opening. He bounced off the screen, turned around and ran back out on the roof over the downstairs condo. He was so flustered I was afraid he'd fall off the roof getting hit by the hail. Took the poor little bugger two tries to get in the door. When I opened the door for him to go out tonight, I wasn't sure he was going to go! But he did.
