I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

VW's wish list is very close to my own. We have a dishwasher and our own washer and dryer in this place--first time we have had either in 10 years and it is HEAVENLY. We have an eat-in kitchen but no dining room. And wood floors would be terrific. This place has beige carpeting, which we both hate and is highly impractical with the dog and two cats.

We have a dining room, but the dining table is usually buried in a foot-thick sedimentary layer of sewing projects, books, and other paraphernalia. We have a kitchen big enough to waltz in, or so Jilli claims.

I'm not helping, huh?

Mostly lurking...

And wood floors would be terrific.

Wood floors used to be number one. With my allergies, I just *can't* have carpeting on top of the pets. And the pets aren't going, so the carpet has to. Fortunately, wood floors are more common than not around here.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

haven't been to a library in, like, 20+ years

I understand the words individually, but together they don't make sense....

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Aimee, they would not laugh at you. They would be excited that you came to visit and they'd probably want to follow you around and help you with everything until you were comfortable.

Brenda, she's adorable.

Some old ladies at the pet store were playing with it and she was immediately all MINE MINE MINE.

Insisted on carrying it all the way home, too. Which if nothing else did wonders for the general mood of the entire neighborhood.

As said elsewhere, LOVE Aimee's haircut. Not said elsewhere, d - so pretty!

Plea for help from Plei (heh, rhyme) - with the Alima foundation (yeah, I'm a sheep), you said a flocked sponge... do you dampen it at all, or does the powder just go on dry - and maybe is the whole point? I have some now, but I'm sort of at a loss. My skin tends to be oily, so I'm not sure how this will all turn out, but...

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

The lie-berrians won;t laugh at me if I ask them HOW to find a book will they?

Well, I would, but that could just be because I like laughing at you.

What library, and what book? Maybe I can find it for you. Also, if you mean the main branch of the LAPL, no, because that place is hella confusing, even with the maps everywhere.

LAPL, no, because that place is hella confusing, even with the maps everywhere.

This ain't no lie. They won't laugh at you at all because even though we've been in there a bazillion times, still get lost. (Also? The Children's section usually has the most helpful staff and easily found bathrooms!)
