How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Sometimes I even read my junk mail-that-really-isn't.

Holy crap:

The State of Maryland has just announced the most aggressive loan program in their history with the Live Near Your Work PLUS (LNYW+) Program! It offers you a mortgage loan that comes with agrant equal to 3% of your loan amount! Just use any State CDA loan program and purchase a home within 25 miles of your workplace (you can even work in the county and buy in the city!). You must be a first-time homebuyer and income restrictions apply (although they are quite generous!).

Looks like I qualify. Now if only I didn't feel like the future was a fuzzy mess.

Was that an email, Sara? if so, could you forward to me? My friends who just had twins are finally looking to buy and they need to know about that!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Of course, last time I saw you, you were smaller than me too (well you were way buffer than I am, but also thinner).

Not only do I not know what I look like right now (thought I was bigger, went skirt shopping, and sixes were too big), I haven't seen you in forever, so I'm doubly unsuited to judge.

However, Kat is tiny, and I think we can both agree on that.

I just saw my breasts in motion from a few angles (video-conferencing camera, thankfully not transmitting) in this top, and SHIT. I'm that chick. I definitely need to go home, and not wear this top to the office again.

Yep, via the livebaltimore.com people. Er, except my email still isn't working right. But here's the state site: [link] Please pass it along.

I wish them lots of luck!

"PERIOD, PERIOD, PERIOD!!"

Oh my god, that's so funny! I love your dad.

Happy Birthday, Kat!

I'm getting the pig!

Happy Birthday, Kat! May the dim sum be well worth the guilt.

Want to know something weird? I am watching a thing on the sinking of the Andrea Doria. It was struck by the SS Stockholm , whose route was Gothenburg-NYC starting in 1915.

My grandmother immigrated to the US on a SS Stockholm (version 1.0.) I'm sure a kazillion other swedes did too, but...goodness.
