Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Our wings are not tired.

I saw an interview with Dixie Chicks recently about the new release. They played some of the music in the piece. They were clearly still hurt over the whole issue but trying to go forward and put it behind them.

WE have free wifi at my library - no sign in required, but then the library pays for it, not advertising.

What is even happening?

Heh. Good for her. I hope that wasn't her real name in the article.

Laura, gentle smoochies for your pretty face.

Fay, are you going to be able to take Daniel with you when you leave?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Insh'allah. Getting him into Thailand sounds doable; finding cat-friendly accommodation will be a bitch, but isn't impossible. It's the whole business of leaving Egypt that's going to be tricky - I don't think I can take him from Egypt to the UK, so that means flying to Bangkok from Cairo.

....er, in short, I haven't got it figured out yet.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Oh according to Hersch and the Bush administration is (among other things) considering tactical nukes against Iran. Cause we, unlike Iran, can be trusted with nuclear weapons.

quotations:

One former defense official, who still deals with sensitive issues for the Bush administration, told me that the military planning was premised on a belief that “a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government.”

Cause that always worked out so well in the past.

The attention given to the nuclear option has created serious misgivings inside the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he added, and some officers have talked about resigning. Late this winter, the Joint Chiefs of Staff sought to remove the nuclear option from the evolving war plans for Iran—without success, the former intelligence official said. “The White House said, ‘Why are you challenging this? The option came from you.’ ”

On Edit - sorry to mix this with your post Fay. Cause yay on trip to Thailand and all that.

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

At least until we decide to start bombing Thailand. Which I'm sure will be for a very very good reason. Trust us.

ION, it is way too nice a day for me to be working. Feh.

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

I didn't mean to (help) make people cry.
