I went to a screening thingy tonight, and someone introduced me: "This is Allyson, she's an author."
I'm still tickled.
Mal: Which one you figure tracked us? Zoe: The ugly one, sir. Mal: Could you be more specific?

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

I can't even.
My interpretation might be the minority view.
Dayum, hardly seems adequate. I'm somewhat hosed and had a model want to marry me for my EU passport (that's the highlight, she has a skanky eurotrash boyfriend, what, he can't give her status?), my evening seems better in retrospect.
bon bon, in my somewhat alcohol-fuelled view, you're a saint for not giving the boss the metaphorical pink pump up the patoot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to work out how much I like this. I'm toying with the idea of owning a woman's watch. Never done that before.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How small does a watch have to be to be a woman's watch? I have a 1920s Art Deco watch that I've assumed was unisex. But some people have thought it's a woman's watch, as it's much smaller than those big watches that manly men wear.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I like the watch a lot - but because of the beaded band - we are talking braclet that has a watch face on it. While it obviouly works like a watch, it is going to float around on your wrist like a bracelet. and with the clasp so near the face - the face will be spinning under your wrist , not on top.
I think the size in proportion to the wrist is what determines " man watch" vs "woman watch". DH and I are very similar in size - but his wrist is much heavier than mine. I can wear a good sized face - that would look small on his wrist. However, I think the main difference is 'things we don't think of as things men wear' like beads for a band or diamonds around the face.

CaBil, the loss of a beloved pet is never minor. I'm so sorry.

No indeedy, Jars -- Evacuation Day is an official city holiday in Boston. Which just happens to fall on St. Patrick's Day -- I'm sure there's not connection with the large number of Irish-Americans working for the city and the need to commemorate the British retreating from Boston in the Revolutionary War. t /puts on most earnest face
